Hi, I’m Camryn! I’m 26 years old and absolutely love working with kids! I’ve been in the childcare world for over 10 years — I started babysitting at 15 and have spent the last 5 years working full-time in a daycare setting. Caring for children is more than just a job to me — it’s my passion. I love watching kids learn, grow, and discover the world around them. Whether it’s playtime, storytime, or helping with routines, I aim to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children feel happy and supported. I’m experienced with all age groups, reliable, patient, and always ready with a game, a snack, or a story. 💛 Looking forward to meeting you and your little ones!

I love being a sitter because I enjoy helping children learn, grow, and feel cared for in a safe and positive environment. I’ve always valued building meaningful connections, and working with kids allows me to bring patience, creativity, and empathy into each day. I love creating calm, structured environments where kids can feel safe and have fun! I have professional experience supporting individuals with different needs through my work as a Direct Support Professional, which required a lot of patience, communication, and responsibility — skills that translate very well into childcare. Outside of that, I’ve helped care for younger relatives and family friends’ children, handling routines like meals, playtime, and bedtime. I’m comfortable creating engaging, age-appropriate activities and maintaining a safe, nurturing environment. I’m trained in providing direct care and support, including de-escalation, active listening, maintaining safety, and medication administration . I’m also very organized and attentive, which helps with routines like meals, homework, and bedtime. My experience as a DSP helped me build strong communication skills and the ability to stay calm under pressure. I also have my CPR and First Aid certification.
