My love for childcare really started back in eighth grade when I cared for my infant nephew during the summer while my sister worked. That experience taught me patience, responsibility, and how important it is for parents to feel safe leaving their child with someone they trust. I began babysitting in 2024 for a small family from my church. Over the years, I’ve also helped care for my nieces and nephews, assisting with feeding, diaper changes, bedtime routines, homework help, and keeping them engaged with creative activities instead of just screen time. I’m comfortable preparing simple meals, maintaining a clean and organized space, supervising outdoor play, helping with basic school assignments, and following specific household rules and schedules.

As the oldest of four kids, I’ve always been the “second mom,” and have been babysitting since 2017. In the summer of 2025, I worked as a camp counselor, where I led activities like making bracelets, building forts out of cardboard boxes, and even teaching kids how to fish. In previous summers, I worked at two Vacation Bible Schools, serving as a craft leader where I created and helped kids with different crafts, and as a camp leader in the baby, toddler, and Pre-K rooms.
