Hi all! My name is Vanessa and I am a dedicated Child Care worker with a degree in Early Childhood Education and over 5 years of experience working with children of all ages. My educational background has equipped me with a deep understanding of child development, and I am passionate about creating fun, educational, and safe environments for children to explore and grow. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with families from diverse backgrounds, and I am skilled in developing activities that promote cognitive, social, and emotional development. Whether it’s engaging in creative play, or assisting with homework, I am committed to providing high-quality care tailored to each child’s needs. I am CPR/First Aid certified, ensuring that your children are in safe hands at all times. I believe in the importance of open communication with parents to ensure a cohesive and supportive environment for your children. If you’re looking for a reliable, caring, and knowledgeable babysitter who will treat your children with love and respect, I would love to discuss how I can support your family’s needs and contribute to your child’s development. I have limited availability, since I still run 2 Child Care programs throughout the 9:00am-6:00pm time frame. Thank you for your consideration ◡̈

Hello! I babysat through most of college, primarily ages 18 months to 4 years but up to 9 years. In high school, I occasionally babysat an infant, toddler, and preschooler over the course of about two years. I really enjoy spending time with little ones and getting to help them develop their skills. I currently work as a case manager for foster youth and I'm looking to pick up occasional evening shifts to help me through grad school.

Hi! My name is Kendra. I work as a Medical Assistant and I’m currently in school pursuing nursing. I’ve been caring for children since I was a teenager and have experience with ages ranging from infants to teens. I’m CPR/BLS certified, responsible, and very attentive when it comes to safety. I enjoy keeping kids engaged with activities, helping with bedtime routines, and making sure they feel comfortable while parents enjoy their time out. I’m mainly available for occasional babysitting and date nights, and I’d love to help families who need reliable care they can trust. I’m also bilingual in English and Spanish.
