More About Me
Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...
In high school, I was a 5-sport athlete, so I spent a lot of time working with children at camps, coaching youth recreation teams, and doing individual skill sessions with younger athletes.
Playing volleyball at MSU and Lenoir-Rhyne gave me many opportunities to work with children through camps and giving swim lessons.
I have worked at a daycare, an early learning center, and a child development center during college, as well as nannied and babysat for 30+ families starting as early as 12 years old.
I am also the curret volleyball coach at Alexander Central, and we host youth camps every summer!

Activities I enjoy doing with children...
When the weather permits, I love to get active outside by going for walks or to the park, swimming, or doing other activities in the community. When it is cold or rainy, I love to come up with creative ideas for projects, crafts, and learning experiences. I am open to learning how to do new things and taking the children on new adventures! I have to brag a bit; I can make a pretty awesome blanket fort for rainy or sick days :)
My experience with special needs children...
I have 2,000 hours working directly with a child with Autism in a licensed early learning center/child development center environment. In my 4,500 hours at the daycare, I have worked with children on behavior plans, children with ADHD and learning disabilities, and children with behavioral issues.
I have logged nearly 1,500 hours working in a group home, and although the members were 18+, the training was extensive and applied to people of all ages. I have babysat for 4 families with various special needs, and have learned bits and pieces from each one; primarily that everyone is different and sticking to what works for each individual is so important!

Babysitter Available in Hickory, NC: Ireland P.
Hi! My name is Ireland Patterson and I’m a 20 year old Criminal Justice student at the Hickory Appalachian State campus, I plan to be a juvenile forensic investigator after I graduate. I have always had a genuine love for caring for and spending time with children. I have experience caring for toddlers from babysitting two young children alongside my mom, and I’ve also gained infant-care experience through regularly babysitting my niece since becoming an aunt. Growing up with a brother who has multiple intellectual and physical disabilities has also given me valuable experience, and understanding when caring for children with different needs. I’m a compassionate and patient person who believes every child deserves high-quality care, and attention. I prefer hands-on, engaging activities over relying on screens and technology, and I enjoy creating a fun, safe environment through play and one on one interaction. I have a wide availability and I look forward to meeting with you!
