Hello, my name is Meka. Your child can call me MS. MEKA. I use to be a full time Child Care Provider years ago, but due to daily pain I could not do it full time anymore. I still love helping parents out in anyway that I can along with teaching & adding structure. I also know it’s hard to find quality care and people you trust and those who will be an advocate for your child.. (children in general). I am a mother of 3... ages 30, 26, and 24. I have bonus children too…. Also my oldest just had a little precious one(My grand age 4). I was home with them majority of their early childhood & teen years being able to prepare them for school, helping with school work, taking them to their activities, taking them to school, and making sure they completed high school and/ or college...(Honor grad/Cum Laude grad & many meetings/support for my child who has Dyslexia). I do believe “Learning starts at home”. I was a single mom most of that time. There were many times, I had to get 3 kids to 3 different events at the same time, but parents make a way & God will put the right people in your path to help you. Please let me know if I can be any assistance to you or your family. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have. Also, I am First Aid/CPR Certified & I have a background check through the state!! Along with completed requirements for Water Safety for Parents & Caregivers. Thank you... have a blessed day!

Hey families! My name is Jelina.

Hello! My name is Yaslin. I am a recent graduate who completed my training as a Physician Assistant and am currently awaiting certification. I’m excited to begin working as a PA soon, and in the meantime, I’m looking to babysit as I truly enjoy working with children. I have several years of experience caring for children in both medical and educational settings. I worked as a Medical Assistant for four consecutive years at two private pediatric practices in New York City, and I have also been a summer camp counselor and a daycare assistant. During my training, I continued volunteering as a daycare assistant, where I helped children with homework, assisted with feeding, and supported their daily routines and care needs. I have experience working with children ranging from six months old to teenagers, and I feel very comfortable adapting to different age groups and needs. I am CPR and AED certified and have also worked in after-school programs with children from kindergarten through 8th grade. In that role, I provided tutoring support, helped children transition between activities, and ensured their safety while offering guidance and structure throughout the day.

Hello parents! 😁 I’m a proud mother of five children, three ladies and two fellas, ages 20 to 28. In 2022, I became a Grammy to each a girl and a boy and another grandson came along in 2024. Twelve years ago, I earned a Master’s degree in Education and have over seven years of teaching experience in public education at both the high school and middle school levels. In my early years of motherhood, I operated in-home daycares for infants to pre-school aged children. I have taught and assisted many times in church Sunday School classes (nursery to high school) and have led and assisted with Vacation Bible School (nursery to high school). I have also led and assisted with youth groups and activities to include attending week-long summer camps and weekend retreats. I’m a divorcee of a retired serviceman. For those military families reviewing my profile, I’m very familiar with life in the military and the challenges that are presented along the journey. Thank you for your dedication and service! Needless to say, I have a genuine love for children of all ages and enjoy teaching and nurturing them; helping each one grow and learn to be the unique person they are created to be. Activities I take pleasure in are walking, reading, crafting, healthy eating, spending time in the kitchen and listening to music (dancing to the music, as well, even if someone is watching!). These are also some of the things I like to do with children, and of course, encouraging them to find and pursue their own interests and participating along with them. Life is certainly meant to be enjoyed, but there are times the fun might need to wait. You can be assured that your children will be accountable for their personal responsibilities (when applicable) like chores and homework (which I’m more than willing to assist), but who says these things can’t be fun? It’s all about perspective and that’s what I hope to instill in your children should you give me the opportunity. I appreciate the time you have taken to review my profile!

Hi! I’m Aleah. I have 4 years of childcare experience, including babysitting for military families at Schofield Barracks in Wahiawa, Hawaii, and at Sasebo Naval Base in Japan. I’m also a big sister to four younger sisters, so caring for children has always been a big part of my life. I love animals, marine life, learning new things, and trying new experiences. I’m creative, patient, and enjoy keeping kids engaged through games, crafts, outdoor activities, and other fun adventures. I am passionate about helping children learn, grow, and thrive while providing a safe, positive, and supportive environment.

Hello! I'm Ms. Thara, a Virginia state-licensed childcare provider with over 35 years of licensed experience caring for infants through school-age children. I believe childhood should be filled with curiosity, kindness, and joyful learning through play. As a mother of four and grandmother, I understand the trust families place in their childcare provider and strive to create a warm, safe, nurturing environment where every child feels loved, confident, and encouraged to grow. I am bilingual (English/Spanish), CPR and First Aid certified, and a graduate of Mount Holyoke College. Throughout my career, I've developed my own nature-inspired learning activities that help children build language, creativity, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning. I look forward to meeting your family and becoming a trusted partner in your child's early years. Hablamos Español!
