A little bit about me

Hi! I'm a sophomore in college where I am currently studying Mechanical Engineering. I come from a large family and grew up taking care of my younger cousins. I love taking care of children of all ages and enjoy spending time outside. I played competitive basketball through high school, was on the swim team for 15 years, and was a lifeguard for 3 years. As a childcare provider, I enjoy sharing my love for the outdoors and sports with kids. I have over 6 years experience including babysitting for children from newborn-12 years old. I think it is important to provide children with a fun, fulfilling and enriched environment. I am an enthusiastic and responsible person and look forward to meeting you and your kids!

A little bit about me

Hi I have Supervised, supported and provided direction to children in a Rapid Assessment Residence for "hard to place" and MRDD children while also keeping records on individual children, including daily observations and information about activities, meals served, and medications administered. There’s nothing better than seeing children’s faces light up each time they learn something. It brings endless joy! Also, because you’re spending so much time with the children it allows you to experience the child’s transformation first hand.

A little bit about me

Hey! I am married, and the oldest of 4 sisters and I've loved babysitting for as long as I can remember. I volunteered at Primary Children's Hospital for 2 years and I got to work closely with patients and their siblings. I loved growing genuine relationships with them and being able to make a positive difference in their day. I have babysat family, friends, and others for about 8 years and I love being with kids. I enjoy doing anything outdoors, being active, and fun activities in my free time and with kids I babysit. I'm flexible, hardworking, and willing to do whatever is needed for the kids!
