A little bit about me

Hi! I’m a responsible and caring 16-year-old babysitter with experience caring for my siblings, family members, and children through church programs. I’m CPR certified and always put safety first. I genuinely love kids and enjoy playing games, doing crafts, helping with homework, and making sure children feel comfortable and happy. I’m patient, reliable, and great at following parents’ instructions. I’m good with pets, available evenings and weekends, and references are available upon request!

A little bit about me

I’m a caring and understanding individual with a natural ability to connect with kids. I create a space where children feel heard, respected, and comfortable being themselves—while also setting healthy boundaries and providing gentle discipline when needed. Whether it’s helping with homework, offering tutoring, or simply making sure they have a great time, I’m here to support their growth and happiness. I’m also happy to help with pets if needed. In my free time, I enjoy reading and playing chess—activities I love sharing with kids who are curious and eager to learn.
