Hi parents! I’m a 4th grade teacher with over 10 years of childcare experience, and I absolutely love helping kids learn, grow, and have fun. Over the years, I’ve cared for children of all ages — from infants to pre-teens — and I bring my classroom experience into every sitting job, whether it’s helping with homework, reading together, or keeping little ones engaged in creative play. Along with childcare, I’m also experienced in household management, including light cleaning, laundry, organizing, and running errands. Families describe me as responsible, patient, and reliable, and I take pride in building strong, trusting relationships with both kids and parents. Looking forward to meeting your family!
I am a board certified behavior analyst. I’ve worked with kids since 2019 ages 2-6, as well as teenagers. I’ve also worked in a daycare center as a teaching assistant as a work study job while in undergrad. I enjoy working with kids, teaching them new adaptive skills, making learning fun, and keeping them engaged in fun, educational activities. I’m super reliable and loyal. I can cook very well, I don’t mind cleaning if needed, and assisting with other household duties. I am CPR certified and have also have reliable transportation.
Hi, I’m Carson! I just finished my first year of college (4.0 dean's list!!) and am home for the summer. I’m a responsible and caring babysitter who loves creating a safe, fun, and positive environment for kids. I am an experienced nanny that also works in a school day camp. I’m patient, dependable, and happy to follow your family’s routines while keeping children engaged with games, reading, and creative play.
I am a mother of 4 with over 30 years of experience caring for my own children plus grandchildren. I have gone through a protection of children/virtus training and have to have frequent background checks with that. I am a loving caregiver that will also get in the floor to play with your kids. I love to take them outside for fresh air and am excellent when it comes to getting them on a nap schedule.
