Hi, I’m Katie! My passion for supporting the growth and learning of children, combined with my experience in caregiving for both the young and elderly, allows me to offer a dedicated and adaptable approach. My experience includes raising my own child, assisting with the children of family and friends, and providing care for elderly individuals. I am adept at creating nurturing and engaging environments, and I am committed to providing compassionate and attentive care. Beyond my caregiving experience, I am an active and engaged individual with a variety of hobbies, including fishing, reading, hiking, road tripping, crafting, and camping. I believe my diverse interests contribute to my ability to connect with and support individuals of all ages. I'm excited to explore how my background and interests align with your family's needs. Thank you for your time and consideration. Enjoy your day!

I am a college student who also is going to be doing track in the spring! I am trying to make extra money here and there because I will not be able to work as much with school and practice in the way during my usual hours of work! I am 18 and have been babysitting for about 5 years now!

I am a stay at home mom and I have 5 little ones of my own Jana 7, Mason 6, Weston 5, Cecilia 3 & Olivia 1.5. I enjoy seeing kids having fun and smiling! Enjoying the simple things in life! It would be appreciated if I could babysit at my house if at all possible with having 5 of my own. But my kids are friendly and love to interact with other kids. I am very outgoing, caring, loving, friendly, my house is already busy with kiddos and would love to help others in need of babysitters because I know how hard it can be to find your little one a place to be at during work hours or errands to run or even a date night or night out! Please consider me, just want your little one to be comfortable here and hopefully would enjoy running around with my kids as well! Also we have a dog named Snowball she is really sweet.

I am a semi-retired licensed Registered Nurse with five grown children and four grandchildren. I have worked as a nanny full time, part time, and night nurse. I have done occasional work for families for nights out, special events, and sick children who cannot attend regular childcare. I have also covered babysitting services for a conference in the past. My experience includes all ages, multiple children, diabetics, and neurodivergent children. I’ve been babysitting since I was a teenager. I love children and animals and I spend my childcare time reading, playing, dancing, exercising, walking, and doing crafts. Our days are very busy and interactive. I try to make basic daily tasks fun to keep the children engaged and willing to do things like hand washing and clean up. I am patient, kind, and loving. I have my own vehicle and a clean driving record if transportation should be necessary. Pets are not a problem. I will happily feed, water, walk, brush, play with and/or check-in on your animals. I am fully vaccinated and boosted against COVID (and a bunch of other stuff). I am clean and keep hand sanitizer with me. I am also certified in Basic, Advanced, and Pediatric Advanced Life Support. I am open to light housekeeping duties, and I don't mind meal prep or cooking. Most people enjoy my cooking and I am health conscious and creative, but certainly respect that some children may have limited food preferences and/or allergies and I am willing to work within those limitations. I strive to provide a positive experience that is fun, safe, and comfortable, and allows you to feel secure in your choice, knowing your precious child or children are in good hands.

My life's work has always been working with children. I have worked as a preschool teacher (both for infants and toddlers), elementary school teacher, nanny, tutor, and mentor. Additionally, I've volunteered in many capacities involving children, including working with children in foster care and in precarious living situations requiring compassionate outreach. My experience includes working with differently abled children, both physically and/or mentally. I have extensive experience with autism, ADHD, and generalized learning/communication diagnoses that require special attentiveness and flexibility to every child's needs. This experience has given me many strategies for supporting children's socio-emotional and/or academic learning. My passion in working with children lies in my innate belief that children crave age-appropriate autonomy, consistency with boundaries and communication, and adults who are responsive and able to flexibly adapt to children's needs. I love to play! I lead with humor and curiosity, which helps children feel safe and seen from the start. I love to sing, play guitar, write, draw, and create/participate in sensory-seeking experiences. I find true joy in watching children develop their confidence and sense of self, and consider it a privilege to facilitate these life skills by building relational trust with children and their families. Additionally, most of my experience that has taken place outside of non-academic settings has entailed house-cleaning, shopping and cooking, transportation, pet care (mostly dogs and cats), and house/pet-sitting when needed. When I work in a family's home, my goal is to integrate care for the space and each family's overall needs with caregiving itself. I find these are intertwined more often than not! I enjoy helping in any way I can.

Elizabeth was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and our toddler loved having her around. Will definitely hire her again.
