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!

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.

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.

I absolutely love working with children of all ages. I am very energetic, i have a positive attitude, and a lot of patience. I like to feel as if i am making a positive impact in the lives of the children i care for by showing compassion, comfort and understanding. I am not afraid of the different challenges that can arise while taking care of children. I believe in active supervision. I have over 12 years of verifiable experience in working with children ages 0-17 years old. Every year I attend various training including First Aid and CPR, as it is required. I also have experience working with children that are Autistic and children with behavioral issues.

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 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.
