A little bit about me

Hi! I am a very positive, fun, loving, and reliable person. I first realized that I have a knack for children 4 years ago when my nephew was born, he brought so much positivity to the world even on rainy days. Being a homeschooled high school student allows me to be where I am needed when I am needed. Having the ability to watch children do their things and learn from the people surrounding them makes me want to be the best influence I can be. When my nephew was about 2 years old, his parents started to see my capabilities when it comes to caring for their child; helping with learning new things, and just being there when I am needed, that is where my babysitting adventure began. All I thought about was how much positivity he brings into my life and how he makes me smile daily, it makes me want to see more of that kind of happiness because seeing others happy makes me extremely happy. I love children dearly and I will do everything I can to be a good influence and provide great care.

Hello!! I am a SAHM of 3, currently.. Looking to increase our weekly income, now that my 3 kids are in school.. Our youngest is four, and she’s in preschool- I also have a 6-year old and a 9-year old.

Some crafts we enjoy are: painting, collages, play dough, coloring!! We’re working on letter recognition, counting past 20– and starting to recognize/write numbers- from 1-10… We have a van and plenty of books and toys- galore- to keep the kiddos entertained and always learning! My youngest daughter will be with me- most of the day- until the fall when she starts a full day preschool— but she is very social and would love to have a playmate!! We hope to help YOU bring joy and smiles to your little one~ if you’ll give us the opportunity to help your most precious bundles~ Thrive!!!! Thanks!
