About Betsy

Experience: 7 yrs

Hi! I'm a caring, dependable, and experienced childcare professional with a background in child life, child development, and family support. I have a bachelor's degree in Psychology and a master's degree in Child Life and Family Studies, along with several years of experience supporting children and families in both hospital and home settings, including live-in nanny experience during graduate school. I'm passionate about helping children feel safe, confident, and supported while encouraging their independence, creativity, and development through play and everyday experiences. I'm organized, attentive, and resourceful, and I enjoy taking initiative to make daily routines run smoothly for both children and parents. I understand the importance of building trusting relationships with families and providing consistent, thoughtful care tailored to each child's unique personality and needs.

Most recent review

I have known Betsy and her Family almost 20 years. I also had the opportunity to coach Betsy and her sister in High School Varsity Girls Basketball. Betsy is from a real strong family with extremely solid values and education. Betsy was elected Varsity Captain her Senior Year by her teammates. She also was VERY involved in assisting at our youth camps, community food bank project, and also the Knights of Columbus Holiday Dinner for the disabled. Betsy always volunteered to be a chairperson for each of these events, and all of these events were very successful because of her leadership. Betsy would make a "GREAT" child care provider. She is fun loving, responsible, and pays much attention to detail. I highly recommend Betsy for your organization. Sincerely, John
