Hello ! ! ! Graduated from the University of Alabama in 2019. I work for a real estate tech start up during the week. I have always enjoyed babysitting and love picking up a babysitting gig here and there. It has always been a fun thing for me and a great way to meet families! I began my babysitting career in middle school and since then I have worked as a mothers help, date night sitter, summer break nanny, and weekend overnight sitter. For 3 years of high school I worked at a local yoga studio in childcare, and spent three summers as a camp counselor. I have a wide range of experience with all ages throughout the past 12+ years of working for a wide range of families!

As a childcare provider, my passion lies in fostering children's growth and development. With three years of experience, I'm skilled at nurturing the well-being of children aged 0 to 3. My patient and creative nature allows me to connect with children, encouraging their imagination and curiosity. I prioritize open communication with parents, providing regular updates on their child's day and addressing any concerns. I'm comfortable enforcing household rules to ensure a safe and structured environment. Beyond childcare, I can assist with cooking, meal preparation, and light housekeeping. My CPR training and coursework in early child development further enhance my ability to provide a nurturing environment for your child. My commitment to supporting families and making a positive impact on children's lives drives me to be the best caregiver for your family.

Homa, has been an absolute gem for our child. From the very first day, she has shown exceptional care and dedication. She has a natural ability to connect with kids, making them feel comfortable and entertained. She is incredibly reliable and punctual. We never had to worry about her arrival time, and she always kept us informed about any changes in her schedule. Her communication skills are excellent, and she is always available to provide updates on how the day went with our child. One of the things we appreciate the most is her creativity and enthusiasm in engaging our child in various activities. She comes up with fun and educational games that keep our child entertained and help with their development. Our child has learned so much and had so much fun under her care. Moreover, she is very responsible and attentive to our child's needs. She ensures that our child follows their routines, eats healthy meals, and gets enough rest. In addition to her outstanding caregiving skills, she is also a trustworthy person. We feel completely at ease leaving our child in her care, knowing that they are in safe and capable hands. Overall, I highly recommend her as a babysitter. She has been a fantastic addition to our family, and we are incredibly grateful for her dedication and hard work. If you are looking for a reliable, caring, and engaging babysitter, she is the perfect choice.

I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable babysitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with kids. I have experience babysitting children of different ages, working at a gymnastics facility, and assisting with special education students during high school. I love creating a fun, safe, and positive environment where kids can learn, play, and feel comfortable. I also enjoy cooking and would be happy to help prepare meals or snacks when needed. I have my own reliable transportation, making it easy to arrive on time and help with school pick-ups, activities, or errands if needed. I look forward to getting to know your family and providing dependable care you can trust.

I can’t recommend this babysitter enough! She did an outstanding job caring for our two children and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. She was kind, patient, attentive, and kept the kids engaged with fun activities throughout the day. They absolutely loved spending time with her. On top of providing exceptional care, she went above and beyond by preparing meals for the kids, keeping everything clean and organized, and leaving the house even cleaner than she found it. It was such a relief to come home to happy kids and a spotless home. She was reliable, professional, dependable, and communicated with us throughout the day, which gave us great peace of mind. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the children she looks after and takes pride in her work. If you’re looking for someone who is trustworthy, responsible, caring, and willing to go the extra mile, I would highly recommend her. We will definitely be using her again!
