Hello! I am a mom of three kids. They are 20, 15 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 August I will be available Mondays , Tuesdays and Fridays from 7:30am-8:30pm. Wednesdays and Thursdays I’m available from 4:30pm-8:30pm.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 am Miss Danielle. The kids describe me as “the cool nanny” I’ve always had a passion for taking care of children or working with them. I have done volunteer work while receiving my certifications in Child Development and started working in a day care immediately after. As I grew more experience I started to feel more confident to become a sitter for families who couldn’t afford overpriced child care service. Last year I took on a very big role in 4 children lives. I met them while they were living in a shelter and I instantly wanted to help this family. I started to use resources to help them and their mom secure an establish place to live. They inspired me to continue to follow my path and advocate and be a superb babysitter or nanny! I have a 12 year old daughter as the experience of mommy hood has been the best! I’m still learning and I’m loved by all of my nieces and nephews (8 and counting) winning favorite Aunt 3 years in a row. I am enthused and passionate about taking care of children and growing bonds with the families I work for. I would love to be considered as someone you can trust with your children, teach your children as my own and also provide a safe and healthy environment.

Every parent needs a break, yet you shouldn't have to worry about your kids when you're away from them. I would like to provide that break for you, complete with peace of mind, knowing your child is well cared for and with someone who finds the humor in everything and can make even homework fun. I am an energetic, patient, creative and responsible person. I am reliable and trustworthy - my time spent in your home will be devoted exclusively to your children and their needs - not my cell phone or the television! That is what I would expect from a sitter in my home and that is my commitment to you. I have provided loving care for numerous infants and children my entire adult life. For the past three years I thoroughly enjoyed working as a nanny for two different families - one with three children and the other with seven. For a period of 15 years, I worked as an as-needed evening babysitter for 15 families. I have assisted in church infant and toddler nurseries for 25 years. I have taught Sunday School for over 10 years to children ages 2-10. I have taught Spanish to children ages 4 through adult for 5 years. I have worked with both children and adults with developmental delays (including behavioral issues and learning disabilities) for 20 years. I have worked as a primary and elementary school dual language teacher, a reading interventionist and private tutor with children who have learning struggles. I enjoy getting to know children to discover their likes/dislikes and tailor games and activities accordingly. We can play outside, do arts and crafts, sing, make up stories - the possibilities are endless! English is my first language, but I speak Spanish fluently. Just say the word and I will spend all the time you like speaking in Spanish to your child(ren)!

Hello, my name is Day. I am a 25 year old mom to a 4 year old girl and a 2 year old boy. :) I know how scary having someone care for your child/ren is, especially because I am a mom and I experience the same thing/ thoughts. But I will say I am experienced, professional and your children will ALWAYS be safe, have fun and learn/grown while in my care. My goal is to be an extended family to you and your child/ren. I have 7 years of baby sitting experience. I have worked with children as young as newborns up to about age 11. I have volunteered at the Boys and Girls club in my community many times to help out with the children and learn more about childcare. I am currently a medical assistant of 3 years, so I am CPR/BLS certified. As a mom, I have lesson plans and other learning things that I do with my own children, and we always have tons of fun. I am happy to share the same activities with your child/ren. I am happy you have taken the time to view my profile and I am looking forward to meeting with you and your child/ren!
