Avery B., Child Care in Opelika, AL 36801 with 5 years of paid experience

I am a junior at Auburn University and I am a nursing major and just started my upper division nursing classes! I have always loved being around children and have been working with them for quite a while. I went to a private high school that had a child care center and I worked there every week from my sophomore year to my senior year of high school! The age range of the child care center was 6 weeks to 3 years old. I also had around 15 families that I got to babysit/nanny for regularly until I left for college! I still get to babysit for them when I go home for breaks! Those ages ranged from newborn to 12 years old. In addition, I also got the opportunity to intern at the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta for a summer! I would describe myself as very calm and comforting! My goal is to provide reliable child care while also being a safe and loving space for children when their parents or guardians are not present! I strive to nurture and create fun memories for children while we are together and to create a peace of mind for parents while they are away from their children!

Petra A., Child Care in Opelika, AL 36801 with 7 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Petra, and I’m a senior at Auburn University studying Biomedical Sciences on the pre-med track. I will be graduating this December, so beginning in the spring, I’ll have a very flexible schedule and would love to find a family to nanny for! I have many years of experience caring for children of all ages, including nannying for the same family for over six years. During that time, I cared for their four children ranging in age from newborn to preteen, so I’m comfortable with everything from infant care and daily routines to homework, activities, meals, and keeping busy kiddos entertained! In addition to my childcare experience, I have completed EMT training and am CPR and First Aid certified, so safety is something I take very seriously. I’m dependable, responsible, patient, and genuinely love being around kids. I also understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust and feel completely comfortable leaving their children with. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and see if I could be a good fit!

I am a current college student at Auburn University and I absolutely love kids. Throughout my childhood and high school I was a dancer. In this role, I was often with and caring for younger children, including teaching young children during my 7th-8th years! While my paid experience involves hosting and waitressing, I am happiest when spending time with children. Through my time with cousins and family friends, I feel I am ready to take on the position of caretaker and babysitter.
