A little bit about me

Hi! I’m a warm, reliable, and caring sitter who genuinely loves working with kids. I come from a big family and as the oldest, caregiving has always come naturally to me! I’ve been helping, guiding, and looking out for little ones for as long as I can remember. I’m friendly, patient, creative, and very approachable, and I love creating a safe, fun environment where kids feel comfortable being themselves. I also have experience working as a Behavioral Technician, which helped me build strong skills in patience, structure, and positive reinforcement. I truly enjoy caring for others and bringing a calm, loving energy into every home I work with!

A little bit about me

Hello, I’m Christie. I’m a 19-year-old Haitian college student majoring in biomedical engineering. Babysitting started as a familial thing, and as I proved to be proficient in it, I was paid for such endeavors and eventually sought other opportunities. It’s heartwarming to know someone’s day was made a bit easier as their child is in my care. I’m the middle child so I have my fair share of knowing needs and addressing situations and I also hold a CHHA license so I am used to geriatric care and housekeeping. Thank you for getting to know me!

Hello! I’m a dedicated babysitter with over 5 years of experience caring for children of all ages, including several years as a “mommy helper.” I have a special focus on kids with food restrictions and allergies, as I’m vegan myself.

I’m patient, attentive, and always ready to engage children with creativity and enthusiasm. I am Epipen and allergy certified, CPR and First Aid certified, and have completed babysitting courses. Additionally, I’m ServSafe certified, ensuring a strong understanding of kitchen safety. Currently, I’m a college student balancing my studies with my passion for childcare. I can’t wait to help your family create wonderful experiences together.
