A little bit about me

Babies are amazing little beings, and caring for them brings me joy. I love watching them grow and change so quickly as they explore their world.
My focus is on providing care that is safe, nurturing, and consistent with the routines and values their parents have established. I believe good communication between parents and myself is essential.
I’m comfortable following schedules/routines, no or limited screen time, using apps such as Huckleberry, and I’m open to the use of cameras in the home.
I have been babysitting weekly for five years and occasionally for eight years, with experience caring for newborns through school-age children. I especially enjoy supporting first-time parents and have experience working with families who work from home.
I live in the Columbia area and am available for weekly part-time (less than 20 hours per week) and occasional care positions. Please let me know if you think I might be a good match for your childcare needs.
