I am a dedicated, intentional, fun and gentle personality with a deep love for children and a passion in serving and caring for others.

Professionally, I have 4 years experience caring for little to medium humans from ages 1-16 in various roles like an after school teacher and summer camp counselor. From homework help to fun engaging activities to genuine joy in care, I'm there! Ready and eager to serve. I am also available for house and pet-sitting!

I have been babysitting since I was 14years old and love kids! I volunteered in the nursery (ages 1 through 4) at my church all four years of high school. In addition, while in college I nannied for two years. I have continued to babysit post graduation as much as I can! I was an early learners tutor at Kumon and taught swimming to kids ages 2 and up. So in addition to Babysitting, I’m well equipped to help with homework and provide swimming lessons!
