I am a nurturing, patient, and reliable caregiver with over five years of experience working with children from infancy through school age. I began babysitting in high school and quickly discovered how fulfilling it is to support families and create a warm, positive environment for kids. I truly enjoy being part of their everyday growth whether it’s helping them learn something new, guiding them through emotions, or simply making their day brighter through engaging play. As a new mother myself, I have hands-on experience with infant care, including feeding, soothing, diapering, and maintaining healthy routines. Over the years, I have developed strong communication skills, a calm and gentle approach, and the ability to adapt to each child’s unique personality and needs. I am committed to providing safe, attentive, and loving care while supporting parents in any way I can, including light household tasks and maintaining consistent routines.

I have been babysitting since I was 13 years old, primarily caring for my two nieces, who are now 10 and 6 years old. Through this experience, I’ve gained hands-on knowledge in supervising children of different ages, managing routines, and handling various needs from playtime to bedtime. In addition to family babysitting, I worked two summers at a daycare center where I was responsible for diaper changes, assisting with potty training, preparing and feeding meals, and ensuring a safe and engaging environment. During this time, I also learned and followed key safety regulations and best practices in childcare, including hygiene standards, and age-appropriate activities.

Hi! My name is Hazel, and I’ve always enjoyed working with kids and have hands-on experience from volunteering as a teacher’s aide at my church, where I helped care for and supervise kids ages 12 and under, including babies and toddlers. I’m currently working toward a degree in child psychology, which has given me a deeper understanding of child development and behavior. Along with childcare, I also have experience caring for dogs, so I’m comfortable in homes with pets and happy to help with pet care if needed. I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy creating a safe, calm, and fun environment for kids. Along with a more relaxing and stress free environment for the parents.

A little about me… I’m a mom to three teenage that now are independent. I’ve been nanny for 35 years to all ages. Kids are my love language (maybe I’m a kid at heart)My style of working with family is I’m hands on and interactive. My personality is very easy going and understanding of all.

I’m a grandma to 9 and I have adult children that I homeschooled. We live on a farm with lots of room to explore. I’m also an artist with extensive art supplies and opportunities to be creative.
