About Payton

I am a college student at the University of South Florida pursuing a degree in Elementary Education with nearly five years of experience working with children. For almost two years, I have worked as an Aftercare Counselor and previously in the KidZone program, supervising children, leading activities, and creating a safe, positive environment. I also coached youth soccer for children ages 3-13 and have provided babysitting services for both a3-year-old and a6-month-old. My experience includes Early Child Development coursework, CPR and First Aid training. I love engaging children through outdoor play, sports, games, crafts, reading, and hands-on activities rather than relying on electronics. I am also happy to help with meal preparation, homework, transportation, and housekeeping. Families can count on me to be reliable, patient, organized, and committed to creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment.
