Cyna W., Child Care in Opelika, AL 36801 with 7 years of paid experience

Hey! My name is Cyna (pronounced like the "cinna" in Cinnamon) and I am currently a student at Auburn University majoring in Fine Art and planning to get my master's in Early Childhood Education. I love being a sitter because seeing a child's imagination bloom and capacity for love grow just amazes me. In the future I plan to open an art studio, so I hope to cultivate the artistic abilities of all children in my care. I currently share transportation with a family member, so I wlll be dropped off at and picked up from your residence. Please keep this in mind!

Cynae worked as a sitter for my son from the time he was 1 until he was 4. She even made time to care for him when I was being called in to work at odd hours. She was around so often, my son started calling her his sister and he still does at 6 years old. That's a bond that can't be replaced. If you want a babysitter who will treat your child with love and care, I definitely recommend her.

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!

Kailey H., Child Care in Opelika, AL 36801 with 4 years of paid experience

Hi families! My name is Kailey! I recently finished working full time as a preschool/pre-k teacher with 2-5 year olds for a local Head Start program. I am originally from California; my husband and I moved to this area last summer to be close to his family. I have 3 Associate's degrees from Santa Barbara City College in child development and early childhood education, a Bachelor's degree from San Diego State University in child and family development, and tons of experience through internships and field experiences throughout my education. I have also held various nannying/babysitting jobs in my hometown. A majority of my experience is with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, but I do have experience with older children as well! I am CPR/first aid certified for infants and children. I am very comfortable with pets, and would love to be of help with housekeeping duties too!

I have experience caring for children ages 1-11 through babysitting, where I've assisted with bottle feeding, homework, creative activities, and active play. I've also supervised outings to parks and water attractions. In addition, I've volunteered with elementary-aged children in classroom settings and gained hands-on experience observing pediatric occupational therapists in clinics and summer camps, strengthening my ability to engage with children of different ages and developmental needs.

Ayda M., Child Care in Opelika, AL 36801 with 14 years of paid experience

I LOVE kids! I grew up in a huge family with tons of little cousins, so I’ve been the designated babysitter for as long as I can remember. I’m currently a sophomore at Auburn University majoring in Elementary Education, and I’ve always known that I wanted to work with children. I have experience working in after-school care at an elementary school back home in Birmingham, as well as working at a local church daycare. I’m a hard worker, dependable, and genuinely love being around kids. I would love to find a job that allows me to work around my class schedule while still being able to help whenever I’m needed!
