I'm a caring and creative caregiver with hands-on experience as a preschool teacher, where I worked with children ages 2-5 for a full school year. In the classroom, I have worked with children with neurodivergence, including ADHD and autism. I have over 6 months of babysitting/nannying experience working with 8-month-olds to 10-year-olds. In addition, I am an eldest daughter who has basically raised my younger sisters, who are now in their late teens, so I technically have years of experience with up to 17-year-olds. I have an associate's degree in Child and Adolescent Development, giving me a strong understanding of developmental stages and age-appropriate care. I am also First-Aid & CPR-certified and fully vaccinated. My top strengths include planning engaging activities, encouraging imaginative play, and supporting children's growth in a fun, safe, and nurturing environment. I love helping kids learn, explore, and feel confident being themselves!

Hi! I’m Lauryn. I’m someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with kids and getting to know their individual personalities. I spent 5 years in child care as a preschool teacher at Action Day Schools, a babysitter for multiple families, and a substitute teacher with Child Care Careers. I can keep kids engaged with games, crafts, creative activities, trips to the park, reading, or simply letting them lead the fun. I’m also happy to help with homework, meals and snacks, bedtime routines, tidying up after activities, and whatever else helps make your evening easier. I am comfortable taking care of children with special needs and have been active in the autism community my whole life as my older brother is autistic. Also, I used to volunteer for 4 years in high school at the local SPCA and am comfortable with any pets you may have :) As a sitter, my priority is making sure your children feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to respect the varying routines and parenting styles of any family. I’ll always keep you updated and make sure you feel confident that your little ones are in good hands :) I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and be a helping hand when you need it! 💕

Hello! My name is Lori, and I’m an experienced, caring, and dependable caregiver who genuinely enjoys spending time with children. After 15 wonderful years in my professional career, I recently stepped away to embrace a more balanced lifestyle. I’m now looking for a few babysitting opportunities each week where I can do something I truly enjoy—caring for and connecting with children. Being a daycare provider help me financially through college. I’m a mom of two children and raised them as a single parent, so I understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust and feel completely comfortable leaving their children with. I was also the primary caregiver for my father before he passed away, which further strengthened my patience, compassion, and sense of responsibility. I have experience caring for infants, toddlers, and young children. I currently babysit a 2½-year-old on a consistent basis and have been part of his life since he was a baby. I’ve also volunteered at Stanford Children’s Hospital in the Newborn Hearing Screening Unit, an experience that gave me additional exposure to newborns and families. I’m nurturing, patient, attentive, and responsible, and I enjoy creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment for children. I’m happy to follow your family’s routines and preferences and understand the importance of keeping parents informed and comfortable while they’re away. I would love the opportunity to meet your family and learn more about your childcare needs. Please feel free to reach out with any questions—I’d be happy to tell you more about myself and my experience!

Hello, my name is Ketlyn. I am 23 years old, originally from Brazil, and I speak three languages fluently: English, Spanish, and Portuguese. I have over 8 years of experience working as a nanny. I started very young, caring for newborn twins, and since then I have developed a true passion for childcare. Over the years, I have worked with children of different ages, always providing a safe, loving, and structured environment. My experience includes caring for infants and young children, preparing bottles and meals, introducing solid foods, diaper changes, bathing when necessary, nap routines, engaging in age-appropriate activities, and maintaining a clean and organized environment related to the child. I am attentive, responsible, patient, and always focused on the child’s safety, development, and well-being. I would be happy to share references and provide more information if needed. Thank you for your time and consideration. Ketlyn
