I am a college student majoring in Music with a focus in Vocal Performance at Florida Southern College. I have experience working with children through summer camp, where I supervised and supported campers, helped with daily activities, and worked to create a safe, welcoming, and fun environment.
I am also a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and have previously worked as a CNA, giving me professional experience providing care and assisting others with their daily needs. My CNA training has given me additional knowledge of safety, responsibility, first aid, and responding calmly to different situations.
Through my education and work experience, I have developed strong communication, patience, organization, and problem-solving skills. I enjoy working with children and would be happy to provide a caring, responsible, and positive environment for the families I work with.
After graduating with my B.A. in Psychology, I plan to teach at the elementary level while pursuing my M.A. in School Psychology. In the meantime, I’m seeking childcare opportunities, including babysitting for children ages 2 and up. I am caring, patient, and attentive, and I genuinely enjoy supporting children’s growth and well-being in a safe and positive environment.
I'm looking for Casual/temporary, Part-time, Full-time employment.
I can travel a few suburbs/towns away from Lakeland for work.

Throughout my 4 years of helping my aunt with her children has been great. Every summer I would help babysit her kids while she was at work. I would then play with the kids, clean, cook meals, give snacks, make bottles and watch over the kids. I will assure you that I’m the babysitter for you! All I bring is my best work ethic!
