Hi families! I’m a fun, responsible high school senior (GPA 4.0) who loves spending time with kids. I enjoy creating games, activities, and crafts to keep kids happy and engaged, while making sure everyone stays safe. I’m easygoing, reliable, and excited to make babysitting a fun experience for your family!
Hello! I hope this message finds you well. I'm Teiraney. I love kids, as I have always had a passion for caring for children since a young age. I enjoy being able to be a positive force within their lives and seeing them thrive while in my care. I have no children of my own yet, but any child in my care will always be treated as if they are apart of me. My priority is to make sure the child is safe, happy, & asking about me once I leave because of the great experience they'll have with their new aunt (me) in town for the time being.
