A little bit about me

As a childcare provider with three years of experience, I have worked summer camps, daycare, taught swim lessons, and worked with kids ages 0-17. Patience, creativity, and friendliness define my approach to caregiving. Open communication with parents is essential; I provide verbal updates at pickup and adapt to their preferred communication methods. Household rules are enforced comfortably to ensure a safe and structured environment.

From outdoor sports to board games and educational activities, I enjoy a variety of play that caters to different interests and promotes learning. My experience spans various age groups, from infants to preteens. With some college education and certifications in First Aid and CPR Training, I am well-equipped to handle any situation. I am happy to assist with cooking, light housekeeping, laundry, and even supervise swimming activity(I am lifeguard certified).

A little bit about me

Hey y'all, I'm Hailey and I am senior at LSU majoring in Interdisciplinary Studies. I'm a business owner of an online boutique offering a trucker hat bar and permanent jewelry. I've been in the childcare industry offering at home services for 10+ years. I have a very reliable vehicle with full coverage. And I am also CPR, AED, and First Aid certified through the state of Louisiana. A few facts about me are that I enjoy going on runs, reading, cooking/baking and spending time with family and friends. I recently participated in the Disney College Program in the Spring of 2023, so I am a big fan of Disney. I also participate in RunDisney events because I love knowing the money raised through these events goes towards cancer research, children's health, and multiple other charities.
