I have been working and living with American families for almost two years in the United States. I am originally from Brazil, where I also gained extensive childcare experience. My first language is Portuguese. I have always had a passion for working with children. I helped care for my two younger sisters while growing up, which strengthened my natural sense of responsibility and nurturing. I have strong experience with infants—from newborns to older babies—as well as with children on the autism spectrum. In one of my previous positions, I lived with a family where I was responsible for caring for three children at the same time. Before coming to the U.S., I worked as a Community Health Agent in Brazil for almost four years. This background provided me with knowledge of basic first aid, including how to respond to choking situations, although I have thankfully never faced an emergency with a child.

I am responsible, dependable, and attentive, with a strong focus on safety and kindness. My background has helped me develop strong communication and problem-solving skills, and I take pride in being someone parents can trust.

Hello, My name is JaShelle. I was born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama. Hence, the reason why I love southern soul food :) In my free time I enjoy making craft projects, reading, practicing calligraphy, walking the trails at my local park, cooking, and trying new restaurants. My background caring for infants, toddlers, and youth began when I became a volunteer sitter at my church. I transitioned to babysitting for various families throughout my years of completing college. During that time I gained skills and knowledge that have elevated my childcare journey. My love for witnessing children learn and grow encouraged my decision to become a childcare provider and Doula. Building a great rapport and relationship with your child is my top priority. I'm kind, patient and nurturing, and I'm excited about the opportunity to work with your family!

Hi! I pray all is well! My name is Markayla, I currently nanny part time for a sweet one year old! I am looking to either nanny or babysit for an additional family! I love kids and animals so pets are not a problem if you have them! I am 25 years old, graduate from the Univeristy of Alabama. I am currently seeking a career in veterinary medicine and hopefully will get accepted into a vet school next year! I have over 10 years of experience with kids but only 6 out of those years have been paid experience!! I currently babysit about two or three weekends out of the month. Majority of the families I babysit for are all through the wonderful connections I’ve made with them while employed at a previous Preschool. I was the infant lead teacher there and was responsible for the care of newborns up to the age of nine months. Before I was promoted to infant lead teacher, I was an assistant teacher were I took care of babies from the ages of 9- 18 months. I’ve worked at two previous daycares as well, one in which I cared for infants and toddlers the first two years and was later promoted to teach K-4, as well being in charge of the afterschoolers (ages 7-13). The other daycare I was previously employed, I was an assistant toddler teacher! I have experience working with ALL ages but have the most experience caring for newborns/toddlers :) If you feel like I am the right candidate, I would love the opportunity to care for your kids! Thank you for you time !

Being able to form a bond with children, younger or older, and spend true time with them is something that I really enjoy! I always loved being able to watch and take care of my nieces, nephews, and cousins whenever I had the chance growing up. A little bit about me is that I'm currently in nursing school pursing my RN license and I am also a Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA) with CPR Training. Besides when my head is not in the books and I am not studying, I enjoy spending time at home with my Husband and dog, doing spontaneous activities with my friends, and I love to skate! As far as babysitting goes, I enjoy helping families out where I can to help take the load off. I follow the parents' lead when enforcing household rules and communicate updates at pickup or via text, according to your preference. I'm eager to partner with your family to provide the best possible care for your child if you hire me!
