Hi, my name is Deborah. I am 70 years young and love working with children. For the last three years, I worked for a phenomenal military family. They were reassigned to another state, and moved in June. They graciously posted a letter of reference on this sire. After they left, I accepted a part time position over the summer, and have recently decided to continue working with this family. For personal reasons, I felt the need to work less hours, and be closer to home and family. My availability will now be updated for occasional nights and weekends. I am an experienced childcare provider and have previously worked long term, and short, for a variety of families. I have a fun sense of humor. I am honest, flexible, responsible, and have an excellent work ethic. I seldom, if ever, miss work. I taught school for eighteen years. I have always cared for children/senior citizens nights, weekends, and long term. I have also stayed with children overnight, for their families to go on work trips or a weekend away. I have additional references and letters of referral I will provide at the time of an interview. I do need to update my CPR and First Aid, but have been certified many times over the years. I have also passed many background checks and am willing for families to run another. I so appreciate your interest and look forward to speaking with you... Sincerely, Deborah

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 29, 25 & 23. I have bonus children too…. Also my oldest just had a little precious one(My grand age 3). I was home with them majority of their early childhood & teen years being able to prepare them for school, help with school work, take them to their activities, take 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!

- 3 years paid experience

Hey families! My name is Jelina. A little bit about me: I have a Bachelor's in Speech-Language Pathology but am pursuing a different path and am currently in school to become a Counselor. I was an Assistant Teacher at The Goddard School for Early Childhood Development wherein I worked with infants all the way up to kids the age of 5. I am CPR, First Aid, and AED certified, and I have no problem assisting with housework. I enjoy both indoor and outdoor activities. If possible, I want to expose children to a wide variety of things such as musical instruments or different hobbies they can acquire to express themselves to aid in their development. I have no problem working with special needs children as my own little brother has autism. I most recently worked as a Registered Behavior Technician in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis but had to leave the field due to the increasing needs of my current Internship to become a Mental Health Counselor. CURRENT AVAILABILITY (as of 5/9/25): Mondays and Tuesdays.

Hello! I have about 5 years experience working with children. I started working with kiddos when I was about 14 years old. I started with watching my younger cousins and helped in my local church. In high school I was in an early childhood education class for three years. Two of the years I was a TA. In this class we had a running preschool. I helped all the students come up with lesson plans to teach the children. I also helped my teacher with other duties. My senior year I got a job as a preschool teacher and worked part time after I got out of school. I was a preschool teacher for about two years, and for about six months I worked as a resource teacher. I also babysat on weekends and other instances for a few families I knew. I have experience with ages 0-12 years. I absolutely LOVE working with children and their families as well. I believe having a relationship with not only the child/children I may be working with, but also the parents/ guardians is very important. I hope that you'll consider me to be a part of your family!!

Junacie G.

Hey, my name is Junacie! I am a US Navy Veteran and I am from Los Angeles, CA. After serving the military I decided to pursue my passion in working with children. I have been a nanny for 6 years and have a bachelors in Early Childhood Education. I have experience as a ROTA nanny and would love to continue my search in finding the perfect family to fill that role. Though, I am open to other positions. I’ve cared for all ages ranging from infants to teens. I am also experienced with preschool twins, children with special needs, overnight care, and babysitting large groups of children. I am CPR/First Aid certified and I am bilingual (Spanish). I can provide my resume, reference letters and background check upon request. If I could describe myself in three words they would be responsible, creative and loving. I enjoy seeing younger children reach new development mile stones by introducing fun games and appropriate toys using the Montessori approach. For older children I enjoy arts and crafts, park adventures, beach, and appropriate age activities! Apart from entertainment, I engage school age children in their school work and I can assist with tutoring and structural activities. Hope to find the perfect family to fill either a ROTA position, full time or part time job!
