I am a prek sped teacher and willing to work with special needs children or many at once but price may increase for multiples not special needs special prices. However, I want to have clear expectations. I am ell certified and almost a learning behavior specialist. I love art outdoors science and sports! I love to teach through hands on methods and do not raise my voice to children unless an emergency. If this happens, I’ll explain why to the child and tell you. I’m comfortable with many little ones. Thanks!

Hi! I'm Crystal, and I am a singer and a Certified Full-Spectrum Doula. I am currently offering childcare, pet care, and senior care I love singing, reading, cooking, arts and crafts, and education. I believe that exploring and developing independence and creativity are super important in every stage of life. It builds confidence and breeds curiosity, which never goes away. I have worked with children in various settings and all age brackets (newborn to 16). Some of my responsibilities have been as a Nanny (household chores, errands, appointments, cooking, getting kiddos ready for school, and bedtime routine), an after-school instructor (classroom management, homework assistance, SEL activities, crafts, reading tutoring, communication with teachers to understand better where students are, communication with parents about expectations), and as a camp counselor. I have experience with senior care, and pet care as well. I can drive to appointments, pick up, ensure the correct dosages of medication are taken, and prepare meals, etc. I currently assist in doing so for my own grandmother. I'd love to help provide care for your family! If you have any questions feel free to reach out!

Crystal is very upbeat and engaging. She read to my little one and had fun activities to keep her engaged. I would hire her again.

Hi, my name is Emily and I’m 20 I babysit alongside my serving job. And I take great pride in providing amazing childcare. I am the oldest of four kids. My mom actually decided to add the 4th one back in 2023 so I’ve been able to walk alongside her in the newborn/toddler age:) I love children and being intentional with our time such as doing crafts, going for walks/the park when the weather is nice or making learning fun. Naturally as an older sister, I have experience cooking, tiding up, helping with homework and driving kids to and from sports/school. I’ve also worked children’s ministries at church and provided childcare since I was 12 this ranged from nursery age to middle school age. minimal dog task can definitely be done as well!!

Hi my name is Samantha. I am a full time medical assistant who is cpr certified. I’ve worked in the medical field for more than 15yrs from newborn to working in obstetrical care. I have extensive experience both as a parent and a babysitter. Being a parent has given me firsthand knowledge of caring for children of all ages, from meeting their basic needs to supporting their growth and development. In addition, I’ve spent many years babysitting for other families, which has taught me how to adapt to different routines, personalities, and parenting styles. I’m confident in my ability to create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for kids.

Samantha was amazing! She arrived on time and was fully prepared to jump right in, which I greatly appreciated given the last-minute nature of the request. She was kind, attentive, and immediately connected with my child, who enjoyed playing games and doing arts and crafts. She followed all instructions perfectly, from meal prep and feeding to nap time, bath time, and bedtime. Everything I needed was accomplished seamlessly, and she handled the day with professionalism and care. Her quick response to my last-minute post and willingness to help out on short notice truly stood out. I would highly recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a reliable, responsible, and caring babysitter!

I am fun loving of all kids and pets. With my own daughter I learned a lot about growing children and how to teach and help them grow into the best part of themselves. I also know what it means for parents to have a break, and can easily make sure to give you the peace of mind needed when taking a much needed break.
