Cyna W.
- 7 years 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 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!

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.

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!
