A little bit about me

Hi there! I’m Kasidee; a loving, patient, and dependable caregiver with a lifelong passion for helping others. While childcare hasn’t been my full time career, I have years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, and kids of all ages. I’m also a very dedicated aunt so I know how to juggle playtime, mealtime, and bedtime with care and consistency! In addition, I also help care for my adult grandmother, which has given me a strong sense of responsibility and compassion.
After a 15 year career in the automotive industry, I recently relocated to the Ellsworth area with my boyfriend for his job and decided to follow my heart toward something more meaningful; caring for families and little ones. I recently renewed my CPR and First Aid certification and always make safety, trust, and kindness my top priorities. Families describe me as nurturing, reliable, and fun to be around. I love creating a warm, positive environment where kids can learn, laugh, and feel loved. 🥰
