Background: I am a student at Florida State University majoring in Pre-Nursing with a minor in Child Development. I have been working with children through babysitting, camp counseling, volunteering, and teaching since 2016. I’ve cared for kids of all ages, from 10 months-12 years, and I love creating fun, safe, and nurturing environments where children can thrive. I’ve worked as a camp counselor at the YMCA, where I supervised groups of children ages 4–12 and led daily activities that supported social, emotional, and physical development. I grew up with a brother with autism and anger issues and have experience dealing with children who need extra help. I’ve also volunteered in church nurseries, taught ballet to preschoolers, and even traveled abroad to support preschool children in Peru.
On her own, she’s cared for children as young as: 10 months old
Future plans: In the next 5-10 years, I plan on going to nursing school at Florida State University. I plan on pursuing a career in the field of pediatric nursing and hopefully travel nursing for a few years. I also dream of starting a family and living by the beach in the future!
When she’s not babysitting: My favorite thing to do is anything with my friends or family. I love the beach, traveling, shopping, and baking!!
Defining quote: "Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow." — Helen Keller
“There is not enough space to share how I feel about Ryn’s ability as a trusted and loved sitter. She has so many years and family experiences babysitting kids of ALL ages from babies to tweens. Ryn is naturally sweet loving and a nurturer to her core and it’s especially evident when she is tasked with the ever important job of caring for children. The kids respect and adore her! She becomes instant family because of her sincere sweet and fun disposition and I am happy to recommend her to any family in need of a special person to care for their most important little people!”
“Ryn is fantastic. She is very active when she babysits - not on her phone! Very focused on the children. I trusted Ryn to keep my kids safe and happy. They all adored her. We have three kids aged 9, 3, 1. 2 girls and a boy. Ryn can change diapers, drive my kids safely, feed, bathe, put to bed - she does everything. She is also very reliable - on time, doesn’t cancel commitments. She is very friendly. Lastly - I don’t want to fail to mention that we also have a house full of difficult animals - including a very old Great Dane (giant) dog and then eventually had a puppy while Ryn was with us - and she was fantastic & responsible with them, always!”
“Ryn was great with my son and my dog. They both loved her. She has taken him to the pool, playground, played with him, fed him and got him lunch or dinners.”
“Ryn is a good babysitter. She cares about the kids and has fun with them. She is able to identify with their needs. Ryn really did a great job and tried her hardest. She would clean up, fix the kids food, play, etc.”
