Lacey R., Child Care in Ocklawaha, FL 32179 with 33 years of paid experience

Hi My name is Lacey. I am 42 years old. I am a married, stay at home mom. My kids are 7 months, 2.5 years, 16 years, 18 years & 20 years old. I am drug, alcohol, tobacco and vape free. I am non religious. I loved helping to care for my baby brother when he was born when I was 10 years old. I started babysitting for other families at 19. I worked 7 years in a daycare. I have a degree in Criminal Justice. I thought I wanted to go into that field as my dad is a retired police chief. However, I ended up being satisfied being a full time wife, mother and babysitting :) I have a clean background, ask me to send it to you via email. I have a valid drivers license, newer vehicle and clean driving record. Feel free to message me if you have any questions :) Have a great day ☀️ Lacey

Cynthia S., Child Care in Ocklawaha, FL 32179 with 7 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Cindy. I moved from Delaware to The Villages a few years ago. Upon moving to The Villages I worked as a nanny for a family that had 2 sons - 9 months old and 2 years old. Unfortunately the father had a job transfer and they relocated out of state. Since then I have had several babysitting jobs for children ages infant to 13 years old. I am college educated and retired as a personal care assistant for children with special needs in the pre-school through 6th grade school level. Prior to that I was a pre-school teacher and worked with 2-5 year olds. I am a very healthy, reliable, loving, caring, friendly and upbeat person. I am also very creative and I will bring fun and excitement to your child's day. I am CPR/First Aid certified, TB tested, non-smoker, and I have a clean driving record. I am an animal lover and have a Maine Coon cat named Bodie (although he thinks his name is Mommy's Baby). I also cook, clean, garden, do laundry, will walk a dog and use my car to drive around locally to do errands for you. I will also pick up your child from school or after school activities and help with homework. I am eager to hear from you regarding this position. References will gladly be provided to you upon request. Thank you for reading my story.
