Hi! I'm Crystal, and I am a singer and a Certified Full-Spectrum Doula. I am currently offering childcare, pet care, and senior care I love singing, reading, cooking, arts and crafts, and education. I believe that exploring and developing independence and creativity are super important in every stage of life. It builds confidence and breeds curiosity, which never goes away. I have worked with children in various settings and all age brackets (newborn to 16). Some of my responsibilities have been as a Nanny (household chores, errands, appointments, cooking, getting kiddos ready for school, and bedtime routine), an after-school instructor (classroom management, homework assistance, SEL activities, crafts, reading tutoring, communication with teachers to understand better where students are, communication with parents about expectations), and as a camp counselor. I have experience with senior care, and pet care as well. I can drive to appointments, pick up, ensure the correct dosages of medication are taken, and prepare meals, etc. I currently assist in doing so for my own grandmother. I'd love to help provide care for your family! If you have any questions feel free to reach out!

Crystal is very upbeat and engaging. She read to my little one and had fun activities to keep her engaged. I would hire her again.

I always like kids, I like them to be free to play and learn in a safe environment. I like to help them to grow at their pace but exploring their own potential. I was some years in college in the biology carrer. I'm a mother of two and I'm ready to help.

Olivia was great with my kids. She's very professional, she was punctual and even tidied up while she was at my home. The thing that stood out the most was how quickly my 2 year old son warmed up to her. It usually takes him a few times to get to comfortable with people, but she was so sweet and kind that he loved her right away! I will continue to hire her for our future babysitting needs.

As a proud mother of two grown, independent adult children, my nest may be empty, but my heart is still completely full of love for little ones. Having successfully navigated the beautiful, chaotic journey of raising my own kids into adulthood, I find myself deeply missing the pure joy, curiosity, and laughter that only children bring. I am eager to channel that enduring warmth, patience, and experience into providing a safe, fun, and loving environment for your children.

I am a prek sped teacher and willing to work with special needs children or many at once but price may increase for multiples not special needs special prices. However, I want to have clear expectations. I am ell certified and almost a learning behavior specialist. I love art outdoors science and sports! I love to teach through hands on methods and do not raise my voice to children unless an emergency. If this happens, I’ll explain why to the child and tell you. I’m comfortable with many little ones. Thanks!
