Looking for a nurturing and engaging childcare provider for your little one? I'm a 30-year-old with a passion for child development (and a Master's in Clinical Social Work in the works!). With years of experience, I bring warmth, humor, and love for creativity and curiosity. My background in neurodiversity allows me to connect with all kinds of kids, from those with special needs to those thriving typically.

Charlotte $18 per hour for 1 child

I've been a childcare provider for over seven years, motivated by my passion for fostering children's growth and development and my positive experiences in previous babysitting roles. I believe in creating a nurturing and stimulating environment for children to learn, play, and grow. As a patient, calm, creative, and friendly caregiver, I enjoy playing various games with children, including outdoor sports, board games, and educational games that enhance their learning. I'm comfortable enforcing household rules and have experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to preteens. I'm comfortable caring for up to four children simultaneously and am available to provide references upon request. I hold CPR and First Aid certifications, and I follow the parents' preferred communication method to keep them informed about their child's day or any issues that may arise. I look forward to the opportunity of meeting you and learning more about your childcare needs.
