Pricila is a rare find. She is a wonderful person who is extremely competent at what she does. She is very patient, understanding, and kind to the littles (1-3). Our kids LOVE her and got excited when she came around. She effortlessly worked with our autistic son and was able to communicate with him and help him out when he was struggling. We'd hire Pricila again in a heartbeat.

My name is Pamela Coats, I go by Pam. I find working with kids fulfilling because there are so many things to learn and explore with them every day. I love being able to inspire their curiosity and excitement in small and big ways throughout their day. Your job stood out to me because it sounds like your child or children are one of my favorite ages to work with (believe or not!) and your schedule works great for me. I available on short notice if need. I maintain my First Aid skills. I also have a very good driving record. In addition to child care, I’m able to do light housekeeping and laundry. There would be very little TV or Computer time. As we would go for walks, do art and crafts and other fun activities. For baby’s we would have time on the floor doing many baby activities. I hope to hear from you soon and look forward to getting to know you and your family. Thank You

Pam was truly a blessing to my family! She watched my 5 month old and 21 month old about 10 times, sometimes at our house and sometimes at hers. Her husband helped too, and they treated my kids like family. She was patient, engaging, and proactive in creating positive habits. She didn't just watch them, she bonded so much that my toddler adored her and didn't want to leave! Pam gave them her whole heart, was available last minute, and so supportive of me as a mom. She remembered everything and I was so thankful to find her. I highly recommend her!

I have experience caring for children of all ages—from babies to teenagers. I’m a calm, patient, and reliable person who enjoys spending time with kids, supporting their routines, and making sure they feel safe and cared for. Over the years, I’ve helped with a variety of tasks like meal prep, playtime, homework, bedtime routines, and keeping things organized. I try to adapt to each child’s needs, whether they need more attention, encouragement, or just someone to have fun with. I also have basic knowledge of first aid and try to stay alert and responsible at all times. I know how important communication with parents is, and I always do my best to follow their instructions and keep them informed. Taking care of kids is something I truly enjoy, and I always aim to create a positive and respectful environment where they can feel comfortable and happy.

I have a genuine passion for working with children, backed by both personal and professional experience. As a parent of five, I’m very familiar in the joys and challenges of raising kids, and this has given me a solid foundation in understanding their needs. Professionally, I’ve spent over two years babysitting, caring for a toddler and a baby, and I was also a nanny for two years before that. In addition to my childcare experience, I’m also fluent in Spanish which is my first language. My previous role, which I held for more than two years, allowed me to develop strong multitasking skills and a strong ability to stay attentive to each child’s needs. I’m excited about the opportunity to bring my experience, enthusiasm, and bilingual skills to a new family.

I have a degree in Elementary Education. I have been a teacher of first graders, four year old children and worked part-time in the infant room of a daycare. I recently tutored children in elementary school and enjoyed that immensely, but unfortunately the program stopped. I enjoyed teaching but I had to leave teaching full-time. I have had CPR training for children and babies and adults. I have had many babysitting jobs, especially in high school and college. I was a nanny for two children in Chicago for two summers while I attended college. I have had a great deal experience with the children of all ages. I grew up in a family of ten children and was responsible for the children, babies and for the household chores as well. I have no children of my own but I feel I have had many experiences with children it feels like I have had children. I know how important in development a child needs to interact with other people to learn basic skills. Small motor skills are extremely important for babies and children, such as playing, reading, role playing is vital for growth in development. Being loving, showing affection is necessary for the child's self esteem. I especially want to find a babysitting job with babies or small children,I loved that the most and miss it
