Write a messageHello! My name is Chelsea. I am 33 years, a new mom and I have been nannying and babysitting since I was 16.
Over the years, Ive cared for twin boys, toddlers, infants, and children up to age 13including up to three kids at once. I have experience with date nights, mothers helper roles, and full-time nanny positions. Im also comfortable cooking for infants and children.
Im a mom myself to my sweet 7-month-old boy, Henry, who will be joining me most of the time. Currently, I occasionally care for two girls alongside my son Henry, so Im well accustomed to bringing him with me to babysitting jobs. So, If youre looking to socialize your own little ones or get them used to daycare-style environments, Henry and I might be a great fit for your family!
Im an active, imaginative sitter who loves keeping kids busy and engaged. I love pretend play and dress-up to building forts, baking cupcakes, running through sprinklers, or reading piles of booksI love to play and create joyful moments. Im the kind of sitter whos always up for dance parties, mud pies, tag, and silly games of hide-and-seek!
At the same time, I care deeply about helping children grow into kind, thoughtful people. Im confident in setting boundaries when needed, and Im very in tune with a childs emotional needs. I approach every meltdown, sibling squabble, or big feeling with empathy and patience.
Ive taken multiple baby care and safety classes over the years, including most recently before having Henry. Im well-versed in infant and child and infant safety.
Im available for part-time, full-time, and date night care. Im comfortable with pets, happy to help with cooking, and can support kids with homework (though Im not a formal tutor).
Id love to connect and see if Henry and I are the right fit for your family!
