About Me Hi! My name is Akera Hollins-Baker. I’m a warm, responsible, and patient caregiver with years of experience working with children from infants to early elementary school age. As an experienced educator and nurturing presence, I bring both fun and structure to every home I work in. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing meals, creating engaging activities, or managing bedtime routines, I ensure children feel safe, supported, and happy in my care. Why do you love being a sitter? I love being a sitter because working with children brings me so much joy. Watching them grow, learn, and discover the world is incredibly rewarding. I enjoy being part of their little milestones and love creating a calm, fun, and encouraging environment where they can thrive. What experience do you have? I’ve worked as a teacher for over 5 years, mainly with children in Pre-K through 3rd grade. I also Read more have personal babysitting experience with infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids. I’m comfortable with routines, diaper changes, bottle feeding, activity planning, and homework help. What skills and training do you have? I have a background in early childhood education and classroom management. I’m trained in child safety and behavior management, and I know how to engage kids through play, learning, and creativity. I'm also tech-savvy, organized, and CPR/First Aid aware
