Hi there! My name is Anisa, and I have a deep passion for working with children. Growing up in Jamaica and currently being a college student, I've had the joy of interacting with children from diverse backgrounds, enriching my understanding and approach to childcare. I love working with children because of the joy and energy they bring into the world. There's nothing more fulfilling than witnessing a child's curiosity and creativity blossom. I believe in creating a nurturing and stimulating environment where children feel safe and encouraged to explore and learn. I have significant experience in childcare, including babysitting and volunteering. During high school, I volunteered at a nursing home in Jamaica, where I developed essential skills in patience and compassion. Additionally, my academic pursuits have given me valuable insights into child development and effective communication.

I’m a 22 year old with a genuine love for children. My passion for caring for kids has been shaped by multiple experiences, from babysitting to looking after family members. I bring an energetic and loving approach to childcare, ensuring that children feel safe, happy, and engaged during our time together. I've had the privilege of working with children who are autistic, allowing me to develop patience, understanding, and a tailored approach to their unique needs. In addition to providing a nurturing environment, I'm equipped to handle practical aspects of childcare. I can prepare meals, keep a clean and organized space, run errands if needed, and assist with homework. I'm committed to creating a positive and enriching experience for the children under my care, while offering peace of mind to parents.

Hello! My name is Dhespina, and I babysit three children (ages 6, 11, and 14) every weekday morning, Monday through Friday. I started babysitting the kids in January 2025. My responsibilities include waking the children up for school, helping the youngest get dressed and brush his teeth, making sure they’ve had breakfast, packing their lunches, and getting all three to school on time. In the afternoons, I pick them up from school, take them to appointments when needed, and occasionally stay after school to babysit. I love babysitting because I genuinely enjoy being around children. It doesn’t feel like work to me, but something that comes naturally because of how much I enjoy it. ***CERTIFIED IN ADULT, CHILD AND INFANT, PEDIATRIC CPR/AED & FIRST AID***

I have worked with children from ages infants to eight years olds in a variety of child care settings for over 40 years.
