A little bit about me
Hi, my name is Hallee Sumner, I am an 18 year old college student at MUW. I currently obtain a job at my local church’s daycare, and have worked in child care for a little over two years! I am really looking for a more personal job in childcare, so I have a better opportunity to work with children individually, helping them to learn. I have worked with infants starting at 6 weeks old up to 10 year olds, but mainly infants to pre-school age (so lots of potty training!). I am very patient and caring with children, and flexible with my schedule considering I only go to in-person to class [phone number hidden] Tuesdays and Thursdays, including availability to work weekends as well! I am CPR verified including infant CPR training and have taking online classes for teacher certifications. My start date will be January 20th because I will be in Oklahoma for Christmas break until the 13th. If you have any more questions, I will be able to answer them!

A little bit about me
I’m seeking permanent babysitting or nanny positions that allow me to support children’s growth while offering flexibility for my family. With over a decade of experience in early childhood education—including lead teaching, program management, and working in military and hospitality settings—I bring warmth, structure, and adaptability to every role. I’m passionate about creating safe, engaging environments where children thrive emotionally, socially, and academically. After taking time to focus on my family, I’m excited to rejoin the workforce and contribute my skills to a team that values connection, consistency, and care.
