Our Approach.

Our style focuses on passion and science to deliver exceptional child development material, activities, and care. We combine proven principles, advanced techniques, and safety to provide powerful yet playful education opportunities. 

We focus on promoting a balanced mind and body by incorporating a full range of activities that children love. Rather than short term benefits and solutions, we utilize techniques that prepare children for a lifetime of empowered futures and balanced emotional strengths! 

Child care is more than watching kids, and education is more than memorizing information. It is about empowering kids with the knowledge, skills, and mindset they need to carry throughout life.

Science-backed strategies.

 

We believe in mindful child care that empowers children to live up to their full potential while giving them confidence, happiness, and a balanced emotional wellbeing. This is done with both passion and science to ensure they have fun, love to learn, and receive the care they deserve.

Glorified Babysitters carefully follow proven principles for successful childhood development.

The first focus is always on child physical and psychological safety. We understand the importance of developing core qualities like respect, value, and trust early on

 

Physical and psychological safety.

We believe in empowering children with incredible and fun knowledge they can use for the rest of their life. This includes a wide variety of concepts to ensure they get the most out of life.

A few of the many qualities we promote are care, support, and developing healthy relationships. We believe in the power of relationships that go deeper than people; we want to include food, nature, and other subjects of interest into the foundation of youth connections.

By developing these skills and values early on, they will have tremendous opportunity to give back, appreciate what they have, and develop lifelong friendships. 

Last but not least is helping children develop core competencies leading to a successful and more rounded lifestyle. This includes:

  • Language 

  • Mindfulness 

  • Cooking 

  • Gardening 

  • Movement 

  • Music 

 

Core Competencies.

These themes have been carefully selected as they are both directly and indirectly beneficial. Each quality builds off and complements one another, making them even more useful, essential, and powerful.  Because child care should be more than just care, here at Glorified Babysitters, we go above and beyond to help children in person and online with essential life-changing tools!

Child care found Marta after years spent in academia learning and teaching. She quickly realized the joy and love she had for teaching children due to their constant curiosity, love of learning, and positive can-do attitude. 

Marta saw many gaps in the child care industry and decided she would go out to find the solutions. She pulled from her wide-ranging experiences and developed innovative and effective strategies to make child care fun, education, and beneficial.
