I’m a caring and dependable babysitter with over 5 years of experience working in daycares, private homes, last minute care, and babysitting for family friends. I have experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to teens, and I truly enjoy building positive, trusting relationships with the families I work with. I’m certified in Adult and Pediatric First Aid, CPR, and AED, and I’m committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children feel comfortable and cared for! In addition to childcare, I’m happy to assist with household tasks such as laundry, cleaning, errands, meal prepping, organizing, etc. References and my resume are available upon request!

I'm from a small town in Southeastern Ohio, but I've lived in Raleigh, North Carolina for over 10 years now. At age ten I acquired my Red Cross Babysitting certificate and started babysitting younger kids. As a youth, I was on the swim team, studied multiple different disciplines of dance, was always in plays and helping with the local theater, and I delivered newspapers 6 days a week in addition to occasional mowing, raking, and snow shoveling around town and also selling baked goods and homemade crafts at the local farmers market. I have been an American Red Cross certified lifeguard and also a swim instructor for the past thirteen years. I have saved hundreds of lives in my role as a lifeguard. In 2018 I was the Head Lifeguard of Sliding Rock in the Pisgah National Forest(Brevard, NC) and saved lives and was in charge of emergency situations, scheduling, and staffing from Memorial day to Labor day. I am very calm and cognizant in emergency situations and am the kind of nanny that is cautious in regards to safety. I have spent many years gaining the trust of my students that are learning how to swim. I'm very good with the younger children and beginners, especially 2-4 year olds. I was a nanny for a family for all of 2021. I took care of three girls, ages 4, 7, and 11 years old, three days a week from 7am to 6pm. They also had 3 dogs, a cat, a bunny, a leopard gecko, and 16 chickens. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to continue to work for them after they moved over an hour away from me. I am still good friends with the family and go visit them at least twice a year, and occasionally still house and pet sit for them. I love children(so much so that I still don't have my own yet) and I love animals. I am very detail oriented and have a gift for maintaining many small details, as I've also worked in the hospitality industry for over 20 years in addition to my 13+ years in aquatics with 9 of those years in aquatic management. Nannying is rewarding for me and provides me with skills I will use in my future. I'd love to get to know your family and hopefully get to be a small part of your journey of raising your kids, happy and healthy! 😊
