Hi! My name is Reina. I am currently working full time at a daycare. I work 40 hours a week roughly 7am-6pm four days a week. I love working with kids and have been for the past seven years. I have worked as an instructor at a karate studio, worked in the classroom setting with first and second graders, I also babysit in my free time.

As a new mother it made me remember how much I love children and the joy they can bring. I grew up babysitting the neighborhood children, to helping take on my two younger siblings almost full time by the time I was 15. I have about 15+ years of babysitting under my belt, but this would be a first at professional babysitting and nannying. I love arts and crafts and even started my own business selling my creations to those that shared the same interests my pieces were inspired by. Whether it be going for a walk, playing games, or reading a book, all things can be so much better when you have children to enjoy it with. Your kids might ask you for flips and to spin in circles after being watched by me. For that I apologize in advance but it's so much fun for kids I can't help but do it when asked. If you have any questions feel free to message me and I will respond as soon as I can. Thank you and have a wonderful day.

I have been a paid babysitter for the past seven years for family friends and neighbors. Before coming to college I worked for nine months as a nanny for three children under two years old. I have been Red Cross Babysitter certified and have gotten additional child care training from working in summer camps through PP&R. I have babysat for children 3mo to 10yrs old. I enjoy babysitting because I like being able to meet children at their level and allow them to explore and grow in a safe and positive environment. I love playing with children and interacting with them in a creative and collaborative way. I love getting to know each child and integrating myself into the unique culture of each family.

Taking care of children has become a passion of mine and a special way to spend my weekdays, weekends and evenings since I don't have any of my own children. I have been a caregiver for over 15 years starting with babysitting, private child care, and nannying. I am comfortable with ages of children mostly infant through kindergarten with a limit of 3 children at one time. I adore dogs as they are my favorite animal. I have 2 rescue dogs. My care-giving philosophy is to make sure the children are safe, well cared for, listening to instructions, and are happy and healthy. I will use redirection in a time of need to help the child regain control of himself/herself. My favorite activities to do with children are reading, coloring, going to parks and being outside, and arts & crafts. A little bit more about myself, I am CPR and First Aid certified. I have my own transportation and current driver's license with insurance. I have Human Service and Child Development associates degrees from 8 years of college. In my spare time I enjoy being with my family and crafting. I have no children of my own, that is why it is important for me to help care for other children when I am asked. Children have been my passion since I was a teenager, and I want to be a big sister, friend, and role model to help children when learning is a critical part of growing up. I am open to long term commitment with families who understand that children are my passion and I have a lot of time on the weekends that I would like to spend caring for children. Feel free to contact myself with any additional questions that you may have. Thank you and I look forward to meet your family soon.

I'm a friendly and caring individual with a passion for nurturing the growth and development of children. I've always been drawn to working with kids, and I'm excited to have over 3 years of experience as a childcare provider. My warm and approachable nature allows me to connect easily with children, creating a safe and enjoyable environment for them to thrive. When it comes to communicating with parents, I understand the importance of keeping them informed about their child's day. I provide regular updates, either through text messages or phone calls, and I'm always happy to discuss any concerns or issues that may arise. I believe in working closely with parents to ensure that every child receives the best possible care. In terms of enforcing household rules, I follow the lead of the parents. I believe that consistency is key, and I strive to maintain a structured yet nurturing environment for the children in my care.

Hi! I’m Maddie, a caring and energetic childcare provider with a strong passion for working with children. I bring hands-on experience from multiple roles that have shaped me into a responsible, patient, and fun nanny/sitter. I worked as an Assistant Preschool Teacher, where I supported daily activities, planned engaging learning experiences, and helped young children develop social, emotional, and early academic skills. I love creating a warm, positive environment where kids feel safe to explore and grow. I was also a lifeguard for 4 years, which has strengthened my ability to stay calm under pressure, act quickly when needed, and prioritize safety at all times — skills I bring to every childcare role. At home, I’ve helped raise my younger brother and sister (now both 12). This has given me real-world experience with everything from school routines and homework help to playtime, meals, and bedtime — teaching me how to build strong, trusting relationships with kids of all ages. I’m reliable, enthusiastic, and genuinely enjoy spending time with children. Whether it’s creative play, outdoor adventures, or helping with homework, I’m committed to making sure kids feel supported and have fun while their parents are away. I’d love the opportunity to care for your family! Feel free to message me with any questions. 😊
