A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Claire! I’m a 26 year old Oklahoman and relocating to Charleston in February 2025. I enjoy spending time with my friends, family and dogs… I’m a huge dog lover! I also love spending time outdoors and have also recently taken up a hobby in punch needling!

I have been babysitting since I was 13 years old and am still working with children today. I have always had a passion for working with kids and find joy in watching them discover the world around them while their personalities form and flourish. Currently, I babysit 1-2 times a week after work and serve as a weekly volunteer at my church for 2nd-4th graders. I strive to make sure every child feels special, loved, and valued. I believe it is important for the child to build confidence and self worth as they start to conquer the world! I look forward to hopefully having the opportunity to do that for your child!
