Hello ! ! ! Graduated from the University of Alabama in 2019. I work for a real estate tech start up during the week. I have always enjoyed babysitting and love picking up a babysitting gig here and there. It has always been a fun thing for me and a great way to meet families! I began my babysitting career in middle school and since then I have worked as a mothers help, date night sitter, summer break nanny, and weekend overnight sitter. For 3 years of high school I worked at a local yoga studio in childcare, and spent three summers as a camp counselor. I have a wide range of experience with all ages throughout the past 12+ years of working for a wide range of families!

I absolutely love children and even took several child development classes in my undergraduate career. I am also CPR certified. I have also been told I can make some amazing Mexican food dishes!
