Hello! I am a mom of three kids. They are 21, 16 and 6. I homeschool my youngest which allows flexibility in our schedule. I bring my daughter with me. I will not be homeschooling her while caring for your children though. Starting in January I am available on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays from 7:30 am to 6:30 pm. We live in Winfield/Lakes of the Four Seasons. I don't mind traveling a bit further depending on hours and pay. I can babysit in my home or yours if that’s what you prefer. I always bring our own food and drinks with us and anything else that we need. We spend a lot of time reading, dancing, singing, drawing, painting, cooking, baking, homework, walks, parks, spending time playing outdoors when it’s nice. I’m very comfortable with caring for any age. I am also comfortable with pets. I’m ok with driving the kids for drop off and pick up to school or activities depending on distance. I have my degree in early childhood education. Before becoming a mom I taught preschool and worked in daycare. I also worked in before and after school childcare at an elementary school and summer camps. I have volunteered for years in my own kids' school as well as briefly working there teaching reading. I volunteered at church in the kid's ministry as well as working in childcare in the church. I am currently babysitting occasionally for a family but I really need to find something more consistent. I can provide references. Message me with any questions. Have A Blessed Day!!!

I've been a nanny for 6 years now. It's the best job I have ever had! I love kids and always wanted to open up my own day care center. That never happened so I'm doing the next best thing! I love playing games, reading books, singing songs and nursery rhymes. I like to play outside at the park or just go on a walk and explore. I hope that you consider me for the most important position in your home. Finding that perfect nanny is a stressful decision for you. I hope to meet with you and your family to see if we are that perfect fit! If you decide to go in a different direction, I wish you the best on your search. Sherri

hello! my name is silvana i’m 24 years old, i’ve been babysitting for as long as i could remember but started to actually get paid experience at 18. I had mostly gained experience babysitting my cousins and my parents friends kids. A little about myself, i’m a very bubbly person always smiling and laughing. i consider myself very respectful, my parents have taught me amazing manners. I was currently work as a waitress at texas roadhouse so working around people of all age rage and having to interact with hundreds of customers daily, learning to defuse situations come up with solutions and making sure people have a good experience. I love and adorable kids same goes for pets, I have a dog of my own he’s a 8 year old Maltese. The cutest little thing, his name is teddy. I speak english and spanish fluently as well as reading and writing of course. Im very family oriented, my mom is my best friend as well as my 19year old brother, he has my whole heart. We are inseparable I love that little boy to death. Although isn’t so little anymore as he is a new dad with my niece who is 2 months old, who knew being an aunt would bring so much joy in my life. The reason i’m interested in babysitting again after 1 year off is 1. Be around kids again I can’t wait to be a mom myself, being an aunt is already filing that partial role 2. i’m trying to earn money to hopefully go back to school 3. id love to help the parents most important, to get some weight/ stress off their chest.

My name is Julie. I've been a sitter in high school, college, and beyond. I'm comfortable with children of all ages and pets too! I love helping kids with homework after school and don't mind helping out around the house with meal prep, laundry, and dishes. I take a hands on approach to childcare, so your child will never be left in front of a tv or ipad. I encourage play at all stages and like to help children develop their imagination. I am fluent in American Sign Language (ASL) and can teach your child to sign (if you'd like). I've worked as a paraprofessional in Special Education and with children that have autism and other disorders as well. I am flexible and adapt well to change, whether immediate or planned. I have been a sitter long term and also just for date nights. I'm down to earth, practical, and approachable. If you're looking for a sitter, I would love to meet you and your family. Please message me today!
