I'm Perla! I'm 22, and I have been working with kids for 5 years! I worked at a mobile petting zoo, was a Dental Assistant for 2 years, and currently am working at a Settlement Home for Children! I've always enjoyed being around kids and I'm greatful I was able to move onto something that seems for me! I'm a mom to a 1 month old little boy! I'm currently on maternity leave and still juggling around if I will return to work, or take on babysitting/nannying for those who will allow me to bring my little boy when and if needed, as it's only us 2 and leaving him with family could be challenging at times. I hope to be a great fit for your little ones and exceed your needs!

Dear Families, My name is Michelle Banchs, and I am excited about the opportunity to provide childcare or companionship for your loved ones. As both a mother of two and someone with professional childcare experience, I understand the importance of creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children and seniors alike feel valued and cared for. I previously worked at Bravo Arts Academy in Utah, where I gained hands-on professional experience guiding children in their growth, creativity, and daily routines. In addition, I currently volunteer in the children’s ministry at my church, which has allowed me to expand my skills working with kids of various ages in a supportive and structured setting. These experiences, along with raising my own children, have equipped me with patience, flexibility, and the ability to connect with people on a personal level. I am also passionate about offering companionship for seniors. I believe kindness, attentiveness, and trust are at the heart of quality care, and I approach each opportunity with a sense of responsibility and genuine compassion. I would love the chance to support your family and bring peace of mind by caring for your children or providing companionship for your elderly loved one. Thank you for considering me, and I look forward to the opportunity to meet and discuss how I can be of service. Warm regards, Michelle Banchs

Hello, I understand that finding a reliable babysitter can be a challenging task, and it's essential to choose someone who can take care of your child with love and compassion. I have been a babysitter for over two decades, and I have cared for children of all ages, from newborns to 12-year-olds. I have a deep understanding of how to organize children's activities, feed them, bathe them, and put them to bed, along with changing diapers and performing other necessary duties. In addition to babysitting, I have worked as an assistant and substitute full-time Pre-K teacher and a part-time religious education teacher. I have a clean criminal and driving record, and I am certified in Infant and Adult CPR and First Aid. I can also teach primary sign language, and I have received excellent feedback from both parents and children for my caring and compassionate nature. I understand that taking care of children is not just about feeding them and keeping them safe; it's also about providing them with a nurturing environment where they can learn, grow, and thrive. That's why I organize fun educational games, crafts, and outside activities for the children in my care. I can also run errands, grocery shopping, meal prep, and light household duties such as organizing closets, toy rooms, and basic accounting. I believe that children deserve to be treated with kindness, respect, and understanding, and I always strive to provide them with the care and attention they need. I have an Associates Degree in Business and Drama, and I am a certified professional in Education, Childhood Development, and Learning Differences. I enjoy walking, outside activities, music, and arts & crafts, and I am confident that I can provide your child with the care and attention they require. Thank you for considering me as your babysitter. I am available to interview and to answer any further questions you may have. I can provide additional references upon request. Warm Regards - Debbie

Hello! Please note - I do not have availability for recurring daytime work. Only able to help with one-time/sporadic date nights and some weekend sitting. I have been continuously babysitting for 25+years! I started young - that's what happens when you grow up with 7 brothers. Busy households are nothing new to me. I am experienced with children ages newborn through teen-aged, have spent years working for the same families, and have been a live-in nanny. I have done overnights, extended stays, and traveled with families. I also student-taught and completed all requirements for an elementary teaching certification from Wellesley College, which enhances my perspective on children, their learning/emotional needs, and how to best care for them in a variety of settings. If you would like details on specific jobs or experiences, please don't hesitate to ask. I love providing great care and helping parents feel at ease when they leave their children with me.
