Ms. Harper

Birthday: May 22nd

Hometown: Gulf Breeze, FL

Favorite Crayola color: Aquamarine

Background: I am a student at Florida State University majoring in elementary education. I started babysitting in 2020 for kids from 6 months to 12 years old. I have also built relationships with the families I babysit for and the longest recurring family I have worked with has been 3 years. I was also a church camp counselor for 6 summers where I was in charge of kids ranging from 4 to 10 years old, many of those kids having dietary restrictions and allergies. I have also worked with children who have developmental delays.

She’s cared for children as young as: 6 months old

Future plans: I hope to graduate and become an elementary school teacher, specifically 4th grade. I have lived 15 minutes from the beach my whole life so I would like to move back to the beach after college. I hope to settle down and have kids of my own as well!

When she's not babysitting: I have recently gotten very crafty. I love to paint (specifically paint-by-number), bedazzle, and diamond paint. I have also always enjoyed cooking and baking. I enjoy hanging out with friends and family as well.

Harper has been babysitting 3 of my children for almost 3 years (starting when the youngest was 6 months old, they’re now ages 3, 8, and 11). Harper is an exceptional babysitter who is both dependable and deeply trustworthy, giving parents total peace of mind when she’s caring for their children. What truly sets her apart is how present she is - she doesn’t just supervise, she genuinely engages. Harper gets down on the kids’ level, plays with them, laughs with them, and makes them feel seen and valued. She creates a fun, safe, and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable and happy, and parents feel confident knowing their kids are in caring, capable hands.

Harper babysat my children and friends’ children. I also have seen her lead groups at VBS, toddlers up to elementary school. Harper is extremely responsible, prepared, and fun! Our kids love her and we do too.
