My Story

I founded Porch Light to give mothers a reliable, vetted network of caregivers they can trust. Our mission is simple: every family deserves peace of mind, knowing their children are in the hands of trustworthy, professional sitters.

​

This mission is personal to me. I'm a recent graduate of the University of Alabama, where I studied Human Development and Family Studies — a field dedicated to understanding how children grow, how families function, and what kids need to thrive. That academic foundation, paired with my hands-on experience working at a day school, shapes how I think about caregiving: not just as a service, but as a relationship built on trust, consistency, and genuine care for a child's wellbeing.

​

Growing up in Mountain Brook and graduating from Mountain Brook High School, I saw firsthand how much peace of mind comes from having people in your corner you can truly rely on — neighbors, teachers, and caregivers who know your family and care about your kids as if they were their own. That's the standard I hold Porch Light to: every sitter in our network is someone I'd trust with my own family.

Safety Standards

Background Checks

We conduct comprehensive background checks on all sitters, including criminal history and identity verification, to ensure every caregiver is vetted and trustworthy.

Reference Checks

Every sitter is required to provide references from previous employers or clients. We review these references to verify their reliability and professionalism.
