Hi! My name is Ivy, and I’m currently a full-time student at the University of Kentucky. I’m a very creative and caring person who loves art, poetry, crafts, and anything that allows me to connect with others in a meaningful way. I enjoy creating fun, engaging activities and bringing a calm, supportive energy into the environments I’m in.
I completed both the Early Childhood Development pathway and the Family & Consumer Science pathway, where I gained hands-on experience working with children in preschool, elementary school, and the Trigg Tots program. Along with that, I have extensive babysitting experience caring for my five nieces and nephews, all under the age of five, including overnight care and long periods of supervision.
Working with children is something I genuinely love because I enjoy helping them feel safe, encouraged, and understood. I value patience, creativity, and building strong connections with both children and families. I would describe myself as dependable, nurturing, imaginative, and easy to communicate with, and I always strive to create a positive and comforting environment for the kids I care for.

I have worked with my special needs cousin for 7 months as his after-school baby sitter. I took care of him prior but only as a family member. His special needs are very specific so I do not have generalized training. He has a special diet that I follow and learned, as well as emergency care. He has mobile challenges as well so I help him dress and walk. I bathe him, potty train him, take him on outings, and help with speech therapy. I have no cpr certification but have taken a couple classes and know the basic motions. I am a current high-school student, but am very responsible.
