A little bit about me

I have gained meaningful childcare experience through my work with Kids on Campus and by babysitting my two younger cousins since they were in kindergarten. At KOC, I helped supervise and support groups of elementary-aged children in structured activities, crafts, and outdoor play while ensuring a safe, positive environment. Babysitting my cousins has taught me how to care for children individually, prepare meals, assisting with homework, and planning fun, age-appropriate activities. These experiences have strengthened my patience, communication, and leadership skills while deepening my passion for working with children and helping them learn, grow, and feel supported.

Hi! My name is Bailey, and I’m 20 years old. I recently got married and now live in Chico. I come from a big, lively family with 10 kids, so being around children has always been a natural and joyful part of my life.
