CARE FOR AGES 6 weeks-12 YEARS

As a certified babysitter through the American Red Cross, I am dedicated and enthusiastic about providing specialized, nurturing care for your children. I strive to create an engaging and safe environment that caters to the individual needs of each child in my care. My commitment extends to fostering your child's emotional, physical, and cognitive development, and I look forward to supporting and celebrating their achievement of developmentally appropriate milestones. Building genuine relationships with children, parents, and community members is of utmost importance to me.


The needs of the child

I strongly commit to recognizing that each child has unique wants, desires, and needs. I fully understand the importance of this perspective and am dedicated to collaborating with you, the parents, to better educate myself on how to support your child(ren) in achieving greater success.





My Goal

I am passionate about assisting children in enhancing their physical, emotional, and cognitive abilities, enabling them to develop a diverse skill set essential for growth and success during their formative years. My goal is to positively impact the way young individuals perceive the world around them.


Understanding Each Child

I fully recognize that each child develops, thinks, and learns at their own unique pace. With this understanding, I specialize in tailoring my approach to meet the individual needs of each child. It is crucial for parents and caregivers to share a common understanding of the realistic expectations necessary for their child's development.









Potty Training

Potty training can indeed be one of the most challenging transitions for toddlers and preschoolers. This reaction is entirely understandable, as it represents a new experience for them. Adults may struggle to grasp concepts when presented for the first time; similarly, children face the same difficulties. In fact, a child's brain can be twice as active as an adult's, which means that using the potty is often not their primary focus—especially when they find it easier to relieve themselves wherever they are, including in their pants.

Based on my extensive experience with successful potty training, I have identified four essential components that contribute to a positive experience:



Motor Skills


As a childcare provider, I recognize the significance of both fine and gross motor skills in child development. I strive to integrate activities that promote these skills into our daily schedules during babysitting. One of my favorite fine motor activities is sensory play; I take pleasure in creating sensory bins and baths tailored to the children's interests. Additionally, I thoroughly enjoy engaging in coloring and artistic projects with the children. For gross motor skills, I particularly appreciate organizing trips to the park, where we can participate in scavenger hunts and obstacle courses.
