Hello, my name is Meka. Your child can call me MS. MEKA. I use to be a full time Child Care Provider years ago, but due to daily pain I could not do it full time anymore. I still love helping parents out in anyway that I can along with teaching & adding structure. I also know it’s hard to find quality care and people you trust and those who will be an advocate for your child.. (children in general). I am a mother of 3... ages 29, 25 & 23. I have bonus children too…. Also my oldest just had a little precious one(My grand age 3). I was home with them majority of their early childhood & teen years being able to prepare them for school, help with school work, take them to their activities, take them to school, and making sure they completed high school and/ or college...(Honor grad/Cum Laude grad & many meetings/support for my child who has Dyslexia). I do believe “Learning starts at home”. I was a single mom most of that time. There were many times, I had to get 3 kids to 3 different events at the same time, but parents make a way & God will put the right people in your path to help you. Please let me know if I can be any assistance to you or your family. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have. Also, I am First Aid/CPR Certified & I have a background check through the state!! Along with completed requirements for Water Safety for Parents & Caregivers. Thank you... have a blessed day!

Hiiii ! I’m excited to offer dependable and caring babysitting services for your family. With over 15 years of experience working with children, including 8 years as a middle school math teacher, I’ve developed a deep love for supporting kids as they learn, grow, and express themselves. Families describe me as reliable, patient, and engaging. I love creating fun learning moments through games, crafts, and curiosity-driven activities, and I’m always happy to help with homework or routines that make evenings smoother. Your child’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and bring both classroom management experience and a calm, nurturing energy into every setting. I’m available on weekdays starting at 4:30 PM and would love the opportunity to become a trusted, consistent part of your family’s support system.

Hi, my name is Bre! I used to work in a daycare/preschool specializing in ages 6 months-5 years old back in 2021. Since I left, i've been babysitting/nannying at families homes full time since. I have experience with children with autism from ages 3-9, as well as sitting for up to six children at once, and I’m flexible with schedule changes and last minutes! I love kids and even have a little boy of my own now who recently turned 1 year old! I'm currently looking for a part time job with a loving family who is possibly needing childcare in the mornings before 11am or in the evening after 6pm on the weekdays (hours are slightly flexible). I am also usually available all day during the weekend as well. Message me for any other questions and have a wonderful day!!

Hello parents! 😁 I’m a proud mother of five children, three ladies and two fellas, ages 20 to 27. In 2022, I became a Grammy to each a girl and a boy and another grandson came along in 2024. Twelve years ago, I earned a Master’s degree in Education and have over seven years of teaching experience in public education at both the high school and middle school levels. In my early years of motherhood, I operated in-home daycares for infants to pre-school aged children. I have taught and assisted many times in church Sunday School classes (nursery to high school) and have led and assisted with Vacation Bible School (nursery to high school). I have also led and assisted with youth groups and activities to include attending week-long summer camps and weekend retreats. I’m a divorcee of a retired serviceman. For those military families reviewing my profile, I’m very familiar with life in the military and the challenges that are presented along the journey. Thank you for your dedication and service! Needless to say, I have a genuine love for children of all ages and enjoy teaching and nurturing them; helping each one grow and learn to be the unique person they are created to be. Activities I take pleasure in are walking, reading, crafting, healthy eating, spending time in the kitchen and listening to music (dancing to the music, as well, even if someone is watching!). These are also some of the things I like to do with children, and of course, encouraging them to find and pursue their own interests and participating along with them. Life is certainly meant to be enjoyed, but there are times the fun might need to wait. You can be assured that your children will be accountable for their personal responsibilities (when applicable) like chores and homework (which I’m more than willing to assist), but who says these things can’t be fun? It’s all about perspective and that’s what I hope to instill in your children should you give me the opportunity. I appreciate the time you have taken to review my profile!

My name is Junacie, and I am a U.S. Navy veteran originally from Los Angeles, California. After completing my military service, I chose to follow my passion for working with children, and I have now been a dedicated nanny for over six years. I also hold a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education, which allows me to bring both practical experience and strong developmental knowledge into my work with families. I have experience as a ROTA nanny and would love to continue in a similar role, though I am open to full-time or part-time positions with the right family. I’ve cared for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers, including preschool twins, children with special needs, overnight care, and larger groups of children. I am CPR and First Aid certified, bilingual in Spanish, and can provide my résumé, references, and background check upon request. I would describe myself as responsible, creative, and loving. I am especially passionate about supporting developmental milestones in young children through engaging games and Montessori-inspired activities. With older children, I enjoy planning arts and crafts, park outings, beach days, and other age-appropriate adventures. I also support school-aged children with homework, tutoring, and structured learning activities to help them build confidence and succeed academically. I look forward to finding a wonderful family where I can provide nurturing, dependable care in a ROTA, full-time, or part-time role.
