Hi i'm Amber😊 Caring for children and being a positive part of their growth is something I truly love. With five years of childcare experience (YMCA, Jovie, ect), I provide a safe, patient, and fun environment where children--from infants to pre-teens--can learn, play, and feel supported. I'm CPR and First Aid certified and have a college degree. I enjoy keeping kids engaged with crafts, games, and creative activities while following each family's routines and household preferences. I believe open communication is important, so I'm always happy to provide updates throughout the day. My goal is to give parents peace of mind and make sure every child feels safe, happy, and cared for. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family!
“Nice mild mannered young woman. Kept in contact with me the entire day ”

Hi, my name is Sharon - a Joy carrier and easy to work with. I have a lot of experience babysitting and I’ve worked with different companies like SitterTree, etc. I love children and the light and joy they bring to this world. I have worked with special needs children and it’s amazing and a blessing to work with them as well. I can also run errands, household duties and any work that needs to be done in the house. I also have some experience sitting elderly people - listening to wisdom is always key. God bless you ☺️
“Sharon was so wonderful! We appreciate her and Gerald so much for coming to our home and making it spotless!”
