$24 per hour for 1 child
Hi there! My name is Caitlin and I am available and interested in discussing this position more! I have a huge passion for children and their families, and I strive to provide the best care possible. I have 12 years of childcare experience. This includes church nursery, date nights, two summers of full time nannying, after school nannying, and much more. I love interacting and playing with the kids I watch, at whichever developmental stage they are in. I hold a Bachelors in Psychology, and have two years of experience working as an RBT, supporting children with autism and their families by providing behavioral therapy services to this population. My experience working both in childcare and as an RBT has taught me much patience and understanding. Each child and family is unique, and understanding, kindness, and empathy go a long way. I currently am working in a remote position as a Healthcare Advocate, but I am still looking for occasional work to provide childcare here and there. I am CPR certified and can provide references if you would like. Let me know if you are interested, and of course if you have any questions! I would love to meet your family!

I’m an energetic and compassionate sitter who loves to create fun, nurturing and safe environments for kids. While new to professional childcare, I have years of experience babysitting with infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children. I’m currently taking evening classes to become a certified medical assistant, and in my free time I enjoy cycling and kayaking. Please reach out if you would like to schedule a call!

Pet care is also included in my job as an in-home caregiver as I currently help take care of two cats.
