4:45pm-11pm

As a proud graduate of Milton Hershey School, I have been fortunate to receive a well-rounded education that emphasized the importance of the arts, music, and athletics. This foundation has allowed me to explore and develop my passions in various creative and athletic endeavors.

My artistic journey encompasses a love for drawing, painting, and crafting unique handmade items, which I find both therapeutic and fulfilling. These creative outlets not only bring me joy but also enable me to express myself in meaningful ways.

Musically, I am proficient in playing the ukulele and possess a solid understanding of music theory. This combination allows me to appreciate and create music that resonates with others.

Athletically, I was an active member of my school's varsity soccer team, where I learned the values of teamwork, discipline, and perseverance—principles that continue to guide me in all aspects of life.

In my professional life, I work as a teller, where I strive to bring kindness and patience to every interaction. I take pride in creating positive and enriching environments, whether collaborating on a creative project or contributing to a team effort.

I have a 9 year old daughter that has taught me even more about childcare than only schooling, tutoring and volunteering did. I have a BA in Psycholy from UNC-Chapel Hill. I’ve worked with children who needed assistance in schoolwork and/or basic life skills, as well as looking after children when the parent/parents need assistance. My training includes raising a daughter of my own, a CNA and experience with children to earn my BA in Psychology.

Ask about CPR, first aid, and any specialized training (e.g., administering medication, ABA therapy, seizure response).

3. Ask detailed questions

Discuss how they would handle meltdowns, medical emergencies, or communication challenges.

4. Request references

Speak to families of children with special needs they’ve cared for before.

5. Arrange a meet-and-greet

Observe how they interact with your child and whether they connect in a patient, caring way.

6. Be clear about routines

Provide written instructions for meals, bedtime, medications, and calming strategies.

7. Communicate about triggers and supports

Share sensory sensitivities, behavioral strategies, and comfort items.

8. Confirm reliability

Ensure they can commit to consistent care and handle unexpected situations calmly.

9. Start with short sessions

Begin with trial sittings so your child and babysitter can build trust gradually.

10. Trust your instincts

Choose someone who shows genuine empathy, patience, and respect for your child’s individuality.
