Hi there! I’m a compassionate and dependable sitter with daycare experience and a lifelong love for working with kids.

As a graduate student close to finishing my Marriage and Family Therapy degree, I’m looking for small jobs to balance with my studies. I have experience working with children and teens and am passionate about creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment.

I look forward to partnering with your family!
