Hi! I'm Claire, a caring, responsible, and dependable childcare provider with over 10 years of babysitting experience and professional experience working with children in both educational and church settings. Currently, I serve on the Children's Ministry staff at Redeemer Presbyterian Church West Side, where I help provide a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for children from infancy through preschool age during Sunday worship services. My responsibilities include engaging children in play, supporting daily routines, and helping maintain a clean and organized classroom. Previously, I worked as a Special Education Assistant Teacher at John S. Bradfield Elementary School in Dallas, Texas, where I supported students from Pre-K through 4th grade. In this role, I provided one-on-one and small-group support, assisted with classroom instruction and learning activities, supervised students throughout the day, and helped with personal care needs, including diaper changes and bathroom routines. This experience strengthened my patience, adaptability, and ability to care for children with a variety of needs and personalities. In addition to my professional experience, I have provided babysitting services for more than 10 years, caring for children ranging from infants to elementary school age. I am experienced with daily routines such as meals, naps, bedtime, playtime, and creating age-appropriate activities that are both fun and engaging. Families describe me as warm, patient, trustworthy, and attentive. I understand that parents are placing their most important people in my care, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is always to create a safe, positive, and supportive environment where children feel comfortable, cared for, and happy. I would love the opportunity to support your family and look forward to meeting you and your little ones!

I have several years of childcare and child development experience through volunteer, leadership, and internship roles. As Head of the Junior Committee at The Child Development Centre, I helped support teaching, structured activities, and volunteer training for children with special education needs. I also completed a Developmental Psychology Internship there, where I observed clinical psychologists, speech-language therapists, occupational therapists, and SEN teachers, and helped with child assessment materials. Additionally, I have volunteered at Saviour Lutheran School, assisting with English instruction and educational activities for underprivileged children with developmental and cognitive disabilities. These experiences have made me patient, attentive, and comfortable supporting children with different learning styles and needs.
