Hello, beautiful families! My name is Baylee. I grew up in a large family with eight siblings, all two to four years apart, making childcare a natural part of my life. I also have experience babysitting for other families and can help with driving, homework, cooking, dancing, painting, and more. I am responsible, reliable, and nurturing, with strong multitasking skills and a natural ability to understand children’s emotional and physical needs. I am also comfortable caring for pets and walking them. I’ve owned a Micro American Bully, a Great Pyrenees, two cats, goldfish, a bird, snakes, lizards, and bunnies.

I truly enjoy caregiving and take pride in creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for families.
