I have well over 5 years of experience working with youth of all ages as a babysitter, coach, assistant teacher, and through additional childcare roles during college. I have experience tutoring, helping with homework, light cleaning during services, cooking meals, caring for pets, and assisting seniors. I bring both personal and professional caregiving experience. I genuinely love children and believe in creating a safe, nurturing, and encouraging environment where they feel supported and valued. I’m flexible, respectful of different parenting styles, adaptable to each family’s needs, and I always bring a positive, caring attitude. I also have experience caring for children with disabilities.
“Tati has been watching my daughter for almost two years now, almost once a month and I trust her completely with my busy 3-year-old. My daughter loves her, which means everything to me. She’s very attentive and careful, especially since my daughter has multiple allergies, and she treats my baby girl like her own. As a girl dad, it’s not easy leaving your child with just anyone but Tati has earned my trust. She’s reliable, honest, and dependable. On a scale of 1–5, I’d give her a 6.”
Hi, I’m Camryn! I’m 26 years old and absolutely love working with kids!

Caring for children is more than just a job to me — it’s my passion. I love watching kids learn, grow, and discover the world around them. Whether it’s playtime, storytime, or helping with routines, I aim to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children feel happy and supported. I’m experienced with all age groups, reliable, patient, and always ready with a game, a snack, or a story. 💛 Looking forward to meeting you and your little ones!

I am responsible, dependable, and deeply compassionate, always going above and beyond to make sure both children and families feel supported. In addition to childcare, I am happy to assist with a range of household services including light housekeeping, meal preparation for children, homework help, laundry, tidying up common areas, and helping maintain a smooth and organized home while parents are away.
