A little bit about me

I’m CPR and First Aid certified babysitter with extensive childcare experience through family care, volunteer work, and babysitting opportunities over many years. I helped care for my younger sister from infancy through high school, giving me hands-on experience with children at many different ages and developmental stages.

I have also cared for infants, newborns, toddlers, and young children through babysitting for friends and family, which has strengthened my confidence and experience with newborn and infant care. Additionally, I volunteered through my church for four years during summer camps and Sunday school programs, where I worked closely with children in safe, nurturing, and structured environments.

I am dependable, patient, attentive, and genuinely love working with children. I strive to build strong bonds with every child I care for while providing parents with peace of mind knowing their child is in a safe, loving, and supportive environment.

A little bit about me

Hi I'm Di! I love art, crafting, animals, and nature. I am a very big believer that what works for one child will not work for all and adapting is the most important tool a childcare professional can possess. I also love to integrate my art skills into my childcare offerings. I have been working with children for 5+ years in various capacities including: YMCA as a residential summer camp counselor (for 2yrs, ages 7-16), Church Childcare (1 yr, ages 4-5), Babysitting (5yrs, ages 2-12), and We rock the spectrum as a shift lead (8- present, children 1-15). I adore working with children, they always manage to surprise and amaze me, getting to see their different quirks, likes, and habits keeps childcare exciting and engaging. I am looking to work with some new families and be a sitter you can count on. love to hear more about your family and your needs. I hope to meet you soon! - Di
