A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Bennett, and I am a caring, dependable, and patient caregiver with experience caring for children of different ages, needs, and personalities. I am CPR, AED, First Aid, and pediatric and adult certified, so safety is always a top priority for me.

I truly enjoy spending time with kids and helping them learn, grow, and have fun. I love planning sensory activities, arts and crafts, and educational play, and I always strive to create a positive, engaging, and supportive environment where children feel safe and comfortable.

I have my own car and reliable transportation, which allows me to be flexible and dependable for families. I would love the opportunity to bring a fun, safe, and caring presence to your family.

"Bennett is absolutely amazing! She is mature well beyond her years. From the moment we met, I was incredibly impressed by how naturally she connected with my daughter, who has special needs. My daughter is non-verbal, yet Bennett seemed to understand her right away—it was truly remarkable. I ended up hiring Bennett that very same day. Since then, she has been an absolute dream for our family. She is trustworthy, reliable, and consistently goes above and beyond. Most importantly, she is someone children truly adore. I always feel at ease knowing my daughter is not only well cared for, but genuinely loved every time she is with Bennett. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family, especially those with children who have special needs. She brings a rare level of patience, intuition, and compassion that makes all the difference."

A little bit about me

I’m Sandra, I just graduated highschool and have already begun my schooling for cosmetology.
I’d love to take a break this winter through summer and work to save money for my schooling! I enjoy working with kids and have experience in different child development courses in school as well as caring for kids as young as 2 and as old as 13.
I take a hands on approach when working with kids and encourage entertainment beyond a screen. I enjoy crafts and traveling and parks. I strive to create a safe and happy environment.
Although I do not have CPR certification, I have taken courses and am willing to again. This also applies to FirstAid certif. though I do have experience in both.

I am also more than willing to help with errands or chores, my job isn’t only to care for your kids but to make parents lives a little bit easier.
