I love being a sitter because I truly enjoy helping kids learn, grow, and feel cared for in a fun, safe environment. I'm naturally patient, creative, and empathetic, and I love creating calm, structured spaces where kids can feel comfortable and have fun. My background as a Direct Support Professional taught me how to stay calm under pressure, communicate clearly, and handle responsibilities with care -- all skills that carry over into childcare. I've also cared for younger relatives and family friends' children, helping with meals, playtime, homework, and bedtime routines. I enjoy planning age-appropriate activities and keeping things organized and smooth. I'm trained in direct care, de-escalation, and active listening, and I'm CPR and First Aid certified.
Audrey responded to our request very fast. She is responsible in taking care of our kids. She is very patient with our infant and try to accommodate all his needs. For the primary schooler, she monitors screen time, encourages her to do homework by herself, and gave her hug when she was scared to sleep alone. She is a great helper for parents, and for kids, she looks like a big sister. Highly recommended.
