If I sit for your family, I'd greatly appreciate it if you'd rate me on my services to you. Hi! I’m a caring and dependable childcare provider with over 15 years of experience working with children from infancy through early elementary age. I’m currently studying Child Development and work on call as a substitute Teacher Assistant with children ages 0–5. I have a strong background in infant and toddler care and am comfortable with all parts of daily routines, including feedings, naps, diapering, potty training, and bedtime. I’ve cared for up to four children at once and enjoy supporting sibling relationships in a calm, positive way. I believe children thrive when they feel safe, understood, and supported. I aim to create a fun, nurturing environment while also following family routines and expectations closely. I’m reliable, patient, and communicative, and I love helping parents feel confident and at ease while they’re away.
