A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Lainey! I have over a year and a half of hands-on experience working with children of all ages as a Children’s Program Specialist at a rock climbing gym! I created a well-structured, engaging, and nurturing environment that helped children build confidence, have fun, and stay safe. I also have one-on-one babysitting experience for family and friends, giving me a strong foundation in personalized care.

I have led countless birthday parties, helping parents feel supported and stress-free during high-energy celebrations with a genuine love of building relationships with both children and their families.

Having grown up with a nanny, I know firsthand the value of a kind, reliable caregiver. I would love the opportunity to bring that same positive impact to your family and be a trusted, enthusiastic presence in their lives.

As a 4.0 graduate who is currently enrolled in online courses I can also provide tutoring services in several subjects!

"Lainey worked with me at as an employee of a climbing gym, though we are unique in that we cater to kid-specific climbing sessions as well as birthday parties ranging from 5-30 kids. Lainey is one of if not the best person I have on staff when it comes with connecting with children and making them feel comfortable trying something might potentially be new and intimidating to them. She has a way of talking at their level without being patronizing, never hesitating to make herself look silly to make the kids feel more comfortable. She is able to switch between professional with the parents as needed and become the children's friend as the situation calls for. On duty she is actively lifeguarding them while they participate in pretty strenuous and challenging physical activity. Lainey is able to help them through their frustrations while ensuring they're exploring their boundaries in a safe space. I was lucky to her on staff and would recommend her anywhere !"

A little bit about me

I have a lot of experience with children of all ages. I love spending time with children and making their day enjoyable. I'm always willing to teach children something new. One way of doing so is by reading them books. Taking them to the park is also what I do just so they can spend some time outdoors and get away from any sort of electronics.
