Cheyenne Adamstown
$21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Cheyenne, and I’m a caring, reliable childcare provider with a strong background in early childhood education. I’ve been babysitting since I was a teenager, which gave me an early foundation in responsibility, patience, and working with children of different ages and personalities. Professionally, I started as a substitute teacher in a daycare setting, which allowed me to gain experience across multiple classrooms and age groups. From there, I was promoted to a Pre-K assistant teacher and later worked as a school-age teacher, where I continued building meaningful connections and supporting children’s learning and development. I love creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment where kids can learn, play, and feel comfortable being themselves. Whether it’s helping with early learning activities, homework, or just making sure your child has a great time, I bring patience, structure, and a positive attitude to every family I work with. I understand how important trust is when it comes to your children, and I’m committed to providing dependable, attentive care you can feel confident in.
