Hello Parents, My background with kids have ranged from infants too the age of 10. I also have previous experience with working with multiple children at once. During my college days I family I cared for and spent 3 years with their twins. Since than, I have done a series of occasional jobs working with more than one child. Depending on the age group, I take pride in having fun and active approach while baby sitting. I am big fan of staying away or limiting screen time. Therefor depending on the age, I turn to play time, whether it’s in the play pin, or going outside in the yard. If families are comfortable with their children leaving the house I have no issues with taking them out outing at the a nearby park. Other activities we would do at home include fun art activities, dancing (if your children enjoy it,) learning games, and reading books. If your children are in extracurricular activities I do have experience in driving family cars and safely talking them to their destinations. This does include picking them up from school. As for pets, I have experience with big dogs to littles ones. Throughout my life I have had experiences owning big dogs such as a black lab, and German shepherds. I have also owned 2 medium dogs, pinscher mixes, and 2 terriers. Last but not least I own a little chihuahua who I share custody with my parents. If you have any questions or need references please do not hesitant to reach out. Thank you, Cheyenne

Hobbies include playing guitar and piano and anything outdoors, whether that be hiking, skiing, or biking!
