Hi my name is Paytin . I’m 18 I finished my first year of university a couple months ago but going into college for child education as university wasn’t for me. I’ve been working at a daycare called Learning And Growing this summer as a summer student and certified CCA. I absolutely love kids and can’t wait to be a mom myself one day. I’ve worked with all ages and different needs to the child as a daycare can be very demanding. I’m looking to find a loving family that needs some help with after daycare or while you’re at work. I’m extremely flexible so schedule can always be talked about. I start College in the beginning of January so i’d like to be with your children till i start if i’m able to still help out here and there while i’m at school that can always be talked about as well! I have my beginners but will be getting my full license in November so transportation might be tricky but again i’m always able to make arrangements. I’m an extremely flexible person and will always do my absolute best for you and your kids. If you are interested in having me contact me and we can discuss further!

Follow these handy tips for hiring a special needs babysitter so you can feel confident your child will be safe, supported, and happy.

1. Look for relevant experience

Choose babysitters who have worked with children with similar diagnoses, behaviors, or medical needs.

2. Check training and certifications

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

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.

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

7. Communicate about triggers and supports

Share sensory sensitivities, behavioral strategies, and comfort items.

8. Confirm reliability
