A little bit about me

I’m 18, CPR/First Aid certified, and the oldest of five siblings—so taking care of kids is second nature to me! I’ve babysat for little ones as young as 2 months all the way up to teens, plus I’ve worked in church nurseries and coach children’s Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes. I’m also in online college for Exercise Science and train CrossFit every morning, so I bring lots of energy to playtime. I especially love being outside—whether it’s playing games, going on walks, or just getting some fresh air, I enjoy keeping kids active, safe, and having fun!
