Hi! My name is Hannah and I'm hoping to be your next caregiver! I'm fun, energetic, outgoing and creative and would love to do arts and crafts, play outside, and go on fun outings with your kid(s). My philosophy is to encourage age-appropriate exploration and play with the goal of fostering learning and self-confidence. As part of their care-giving team, I strive to maintain consistency for children by upholding the rules and expectations set by their parents. I've been babysitting for 11 years, since age 13, for kids ages 2-13. I have babysat for multiple families and was a nanny for a year and two summers. For previous jobs, I've helped with schoolwork and coordinated school pickups, play-dates and helped families with housework and errands. I'm responsible, a prompt communicator and am habitually early. I'm also fully vaccinated for the flu and COVID-19, including a booster shot. Thanks!

We had a deeply disappointing experience with Hannah. We had a great phone call and introductory childcare session regarding arranging one month of nannying and our child absolutely loved her. She ended up calling out sick for her first two days (understandable), then worked three days and then called out sick for the entire next week (things happen). I texted her confirming our plan for the following week, which she didn't respond to until Monday when with less than 24 hours notice told us that she wanted to take a break before going back to her other job and wouldn't be coming her final week at all. No apology or deeper explanation. I felt terrible that I told my 5 year old child day after day he would get to see her and then had to let him know each day that she actually wasn't coming, only to finally tell him she wouldn't be coming again at all. If we'd known she didnt want the job, we would have found someone new but instead we dealt with the unexpected burden each day because we assumed she'd be back. I messaged Hannah to ask if there was something about the situation with us that didn't work for her so that we could do better in the future, or to set better expectations for our caregivers if she found something difficult, and she just ghosted me and still has not responded.
