As a young child my mom did income daycare, so I grew up helping out with it. As well as helping raise my younger sister, after my mom passed away. I've continued to babysit when need be for neighbors, friends, family, and other children. I have been babysitting for at least 10 years, and have nannied for 3. lI've watched children of all ages, and feel extremely comfortable with them all. I've recently been watching a 3 year old and an infant, or an 8 and 10 year old. I've done many things with the children, making any meals, taking them to the pool, walks, the park, naps and bedtimes. I'm very artsy and enjoy doing crafts. I also love the outdoors, and would rather be outside then inside. I have no issues with any pets. I'm CPR certified, and can handle any situation comfortably. I do have my own car and am willing to take car of any drop offs or pick ups as needed. I am opened to anything! I also have a 6 month old that I would like to be able to tag along with me. I look forward to hearing from you!

I’m 22 years old and have been working in childcare since I was 16. Before that, I used to babysit my siblings and the younger children of some close family friends. I’ve worked with children of all ages, but I’m currently a lead teacher for the 2-year-old room at my center. I’m CPR and first aid certified, have completed the mandatory reporter training, and universal precautions training. I can assist with potty training, diaper changes, sleep strategies, and meal preparation. I enjoy planning and preparing age-appropriate crafts and activities to keep the children engaged when the weather permits us from going outside and burn off energy. From a young age, I’ve always wanted to work with young children and contribute to their learning and development.

With over 12 years of experience as a nanny, babysitter, and childcare professional, I am passionate about working with children and supporting their growth. I have also worked as a head preschool teacher and at an elementary school, giving me a well-rounded approach to childcare. I have a BS in Early Childhood Education and Elementary Education. I am very hands on and love to keep children engaged with creative activities, crafts, books, and games. I always bring along extra ideas and activities to suit each child’s age and interests. I am patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy building strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents. When I’m not caregiving I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling all over the world, playing tennis, and curling up to read a good book.

My wife and I feel incredibly lucky to have had Emily as part of our family for over a year. She cared for our two children (that are now ages 3 & 5) with so much warmth, sense of fun, genuine enthusiasm, and professionalism. She was always punctual, extremely reliable, and quick to respond, which gave us peace of mind. What truly set her apart was how hands-on she was with our kids. She regularly came prepared with thoughtful activities like crafts, games, toys, and books. She put so much effort into to making each day fun and enriching. She wasn’t a person to just supervised, she got down on the floor and played with them, stayed active, and built a real connection with our children. Our kids absolutely adored her and we clearly see how much she cared for them. Any family would be lucky to have her, we would recommend her without hesitation.

Hi! My name is Zariah. I come from a big family with 8 siblings ranging in age from 2 to 22, so I have been around children my entire life and have plenty of hands-on experience helping care for them. I also spent two summers helping a mother of 9 children in her home. My responsibilities included supervising the children, preparing meals, helping with laundry, bathing, bedtime routines, and making sure the kids were safe and cared for throughout the day. I am patient, caring, responsible, and dependable, and I always strive to make children feel comfortable, supported, and valued while in my care. I enjoy keeping kids engaged with age-appropriate activities, helping with homework, and creating a fun and positive environment.

Hi there! My name is Natalie, I’m 26, and I work full time as a public health educator. As part of my job, I frequently work with preK- 4th grade students in school/after school program settings and absolutely love it! I also have several years of experience babysitting newborns through about 10 years of age from my high school and college years. In particular, I babysat for a family with 4 children every weekend for about 3 years, so I know how to handle multiple kiddos at once! I’m also happy to manage household tasks such as cooking, dishes, and laundry. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I’m looking for occasional weekend and/or weeknight babysitting jobs.

I have been a nanny for a family for about 3 to 4 years now. But they are no longer needing my services since the kiddo is growing up. I also have occasionally babysat for other families too. And I grew up watching my siblings and my family’s kids also. I love spending time with kids, doing crafts, puzzles, etc. I am very patient and enjoy building connections with kids. I would love to help out and make it easier for families.

Hello my name is Destiny. I am 19 years old and I have had 4 years of experience in child care.I am a compassionate, loving, go with the flow woman who adores children, yet can be firm at times if required. I enjoy bringing my love of art, dance, outdoors, healthy foods, Steiner style learning and exploration to children. Interactive choices and empowering others to be confident in their own freewill while still being respectful and honoring of those around them is key. I love the opportunity to get messy, loud and energetic with children… and we clean up afterward, knowing that we had a good, full day.
