Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi, I’m thrilled to be leading the "Ready, Set, Sit!" virtual babysitting class! With my background as a Special Education educator, I bring a unique perspective on caring for children with diverse needs. I’ve spent over 20 years working with children of all abilities, teaching them essential life skills and ensuring their safety and well-being.

Through my experience, I’ve learned how to adapt activities and care to suit every child, whether they have physical, cognitive, or emotional needs. I’m passionate about helping young babysitters like you learn how to care for all children—safely, responsibly, and with empathy.

In this class, you’ll not only learn the basics of babysitting, but also how to be aware of and responsive to the individual needs of the children in your care.

Let’s work together to make sure you're ready to become the best babysitter you can be, confident, prepared, and compassionate!
