Hello! My name is Jaycie. I have always loved to be around children, always enjoy doing arts and crafts, playing outside, and reading plenty of books! I am CPR/First Aid certified and have worked with children since the age of 16. I have previously worked in a daycare for 2 years, as a camp counselor, and at an Elementary school. Since summer of 2019 I have decided to help parents out and watch children from my home. I have experience with ages of newborn-15 years old, including a daughter of my own but I love all ages! If you have any questions please feel free to send me a message so we can chat! Thank you.

hello my name is Nychelle.I currently reside in Springfield. I'm currently CPR and first aid certified. I do have lots of experience with children. For starters I have two younger siblings of my own, and being an older sister can really set you up for things like this. I've baby sat for numerous people I know with younger, disabled, mentally challenged and babies. I was a regular sitter for year working with a 2&4 year old. I can work with kids of all ages!! I'm fun creative and very patient! I would love the experience of being a nanny, I loved mine growing up. Can provide references if needed.

I am 42 years old and have 2 little dogs that are my entire world. Never been married or had the blessing to have any children due to a genetic disorder. I was lucky to have a great career for over 15 years in the Dental field as a Surgical Assistant. It was 2019 when I decided to become a personal nanny, helping families, children, and infants is not work to me it’s something I was blessed to do for the last 4 years for 2 amazing families. Thank you for taking the time to hear a little about myself. Jessica

I am a dedicated and compassionate childcare professional with multiple years of experience working in childcare facilities and providing babysitting services for children of various ages. I have a genuine passion for helping children learn, grow, and thrive in a safe, nurturing, and positive environment. Throughout my childcare career, I have developed strong skills in supervising children, planning engaging activities, assisting with daily routines, supporting early learning, and maintaining a safe and structured setting. I enjoy building positive relationships with children and families while encouraging creativity, social development, and confidence. My experience has taught me the importance of patience, communication, reliability, and adaptability when caring for children. I take pride in creating meaningful experiences that help children feel supported, valued, and encouraged every day. Childcare is more than a job to me—it is something I truly love and find rewarding.

I am Emerson (they/he). I love art (especially painting), learning, music, and nature. I have experience working with a range of children including neurodivergent children and LGBTQ+ youth. I also have experience in deescalation strategies and creative thinking/problem solving. Roles I have held during my work with children include babysitter, child watch staff, group facilitator, and registered behavior technician (RBT). As a queer person with autism, I am passionate about providing culturally competent care where each child is accepted and empowered to be who they are. I enjoy following children's interests to bond, create learning opportunities, and have fun. I'm not scared to create a sneakily educational craft or activity on a dime, and I love having dance parties to your kid's favorite songs. I have a Bachelor's degree in Social Work, as well as a Master's of Arts in Communication. In the fall I will begin an MSW program, with the goal of becoming an LCSW for neurodivergent children. Have pets? No worries! I have 2 cats myself and have years of experiencing pet sitting as well. Browsing as I prepare to leave day job

My family has been fostering children since I was in 4th grade, and we've always had small children in the house that I've helped to raise/take care of. Taking after my mom, I LOVE children and have strong maternal instincts! Besides constantly helping out with kids around the house, I also have babysat for several different children in the past, as well as volunteering for Eco Camp two summers ago, where I was in charge of a medium sized group of children aged 5-12. Besides being able to help out a family in need, I'm hoping to earn some money to help out at college during the semester, as well as get quality time with little kids.
