hii My name is Lea, and I am 18 years old. I have three younger siblings, and helping care for them has been a huge part of my life. Since they were born, I’ve been involved in looking after them, helping with daily routines, and being someone they can rely on. With that experience, I’ve learned how important patience, kindness, and responsibility are when caring for children. I genuinely enjoy helping others and creating a safe, positive, and supportive environment. I’m dependable, caring, and happy to help with household tasks as well. I understand that trusting someone with your children is a big decision, and I would be honored to provide attentive and loving care for your family.

I am currently a senior in college majoring in public health and hope to one day be a pediatric nurse. I have been nannying and babysitting for about 8 years now. I was a lifeguard for 5 years so I have been trained and previously certified in both CPR and first aid. I have a car and am more than willing to drive children to and from activities. I am able to prepare food and clean as needed and would love to help out anyway I can. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hello! My name is Jasmine, and I am a dedicated childcare professional with over 5 years of experience caring for children from newborns to 12 years old. Working with children has always been something I genuinely enjoy, and I take pride in creating a safe, nurturing, engaging, and supportive environment where every child feels valued, respected, and encouraged to grow. Throughout my childcare experience, I have cared for children of various ages, personalities, and developmental stages. My responsibilities have included feeding infants, preparing meals and snacks, diaper changes, potty training support, helping with homework, maintaining routines, organizing activities, supervising playtime, assisting with bedtime, and providing attentive care during daily transitions. I understand that every child is unique, and I strive to meet each child’s individual needs while helping them feel comfortable, secure, and confident. In addition to my babysitting experience, I have been a preschool teacher for the past 2 years. As a teacher, I have gained valuable experience supporting children’s cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development. I work daily with young learners, helping them build important skills through structured activities, creative play, hands-on learning, and positive guidance. My classroom experience has strengthened my ability to manage multiple children, encourage positive behavior, communicate effectively, and create learning opportunities that are both fun and educational. My personality is one of my greatest strengths when working with children. I am patient, caring, dependable, compassionate, and energetic. I understand that children thrive when they feel loved, heard, and supported, so I always make it a priority to build positive relationships with the children and families I work with. I enjoy being creative, whether that means reading stories, doing arts and crafts, playing games, exploring educational activities, or simply finding new ways to make learning fun. Families describe me as trustworthy, responsible, reliable, and approachable. I understand the importance of open communication with parents and guardians, and I work hard to ensure families feel confident and comfortable when their children are in my care. Safety is always my top priority, and I believe in providing attentive supervision while also encouraging independence, confidence, and age-appropriate growth.

Hello! My name is Hunter, and I am 21 years old. I graduated from Harrison and ran Varsity Track and Cross Country all 4 years. I am currently not in college/not going to school. Since I have graduated, I have been working in a daycare as well for our family business. In my free time I enjoy being with friends and family, cleaning, being outside, babysitting, and working out. I am currently the kid's club/daycare manager at Parkwest Fitness. I have been doing this for almost 3 years. I have experience with 6months-teenages. (I've worked with all ages) I am CPR/First Aid certified. I have my driver's license as well as my own car. I am currently looking for a family to part time nanny for. I also wouldn't mind if you are looking for an occasional babysitter as well (love to help in any way!) Some activities I enjoy doing with the children are reading, playing games, doing arts and crafts, and being outside. Pretty much whatever the kids I am watching enjoy! I love to clean so doing household chores/cleaning doesn't bother me at all, as well as running errands! Some responsibilities I have had for families are: -helping with homework -morning/nighttime routines -household cleaning/pickups -transportation -making meals The most important part about being a nanny/babysitter to me is making me feel like family to you, us coming together as one. Also understanding how your family works so I can make your life easier with a little help from me!
