Hi, my name is Beatrice however I also go by beya. Im a second older sibling to 5 and an aunt to 3, all with different age groups.

I’ve been a caregiver but I’d rather be a nanny to your little ones.

I have prior experience with all ages under 10, infants and special needs kids. I was a lifeguard for the last two years so I am certified in AED and CPR in both pediatrics and adults. I am certified in blood born pathogens as well. I wish to do childcare full time so my schedule is completely open if given any opportunities!

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m a caring and responsible babysitter with experience working with children from 5 months to 8 years old. I also regularly care for my younger cousins, which has helped me develop patience, adaptability, and a strong understanding of children’s needs at different developmental stages. As a Health Promotion major, I’m passionate about healthy living, safety, and age-appropriate education. I enjoy creating a positive, engaging environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to learn through play and everyday activities.

A little bit about me

I have always loved working with kids so during high school I worked at my local baton twirling studio as a coach and chaperone and on the side I babysat 2 separate families who were very close with the team. So often parties were thrown and I would babysit for the night to help the parents manage the large group of kids there.
