I love working with kids because it reminds me of how amazing and exciting the world can be. I started working with kids when I was about 13 years old. I started working with kids of special needs about 4 years ago. I have been working with infants for about 4 years as well and since then I have been working with children of all ages. In my spare time, I like to volunteer with the special needs community along with local events. When I'm not volunteering I enjoy reading and studying. One thing you should know about me is I work well with children that have special needs, and work well with larger groups of children. My skills include patience, enthusiasm, compassion and empathy.

I have always loved working with children which is why I am currently earning my elementary education degree. I have worked at a daycare primarily in the infant and toddler rooms. Currently, I am a paraprofessional at an elementary school while also working at a daycare with children ranging from infants to second grade. I am CPR certified and have done a lot of other training for the school where I work. I really enjoy working with children and helping them grow. I am good at time management and I have a lot of patience.

I am able to provide care in your home. As a disabled veteran, I have access to Fort Riley. I am a retired federal employee wanting to care for children. I love interacting with children; playing, singing, teaching, and doing arts and crafts. I have worked with children at schools, daycares, Girl scouts and churches. I have been a nanny for multiple families over the past 10 years working full-time for several months at a time. I mostly do occasional care and have been a care provider for several families in the Junction City, Ft Riley, Manhattan and Ogden area for over 10 years.

Hi! Being the oldest of 3 kids, I've helped my busy mom with my 2 younger sisters from each of their births since I was 11. I'm also the oldest of first cousins and helped my aunties (mom's sister and dad's sister) with their children on separate occasions. One has 4 kids, the other has 2. With all this experience, one key skill I've acquired is patience. Knowing that every baby and every child's needs are different, I'm willing to learn and adapt to what helps them feel comfortable and safe. I'm willing to do light housekeeping and also enjoy doing crafts. I'm a lover of animals and do well with pets, personally growing up with big dogs, as long as they're friendly. Paid experience with families other than my own since September 2022 with ages 3 and up. I’ve done wake up, bedtime, and everything in between. Including school drop offs and pickups. Helping families get through their day with ease.

Hi! My name is Trinity! I have always had a heart for working with kids of all ages. My mom ran a daycare while I was a kid so I grew up helping her love and watch her kiddos. I just graduated from K-State with a degree in Elementary Education and will be teaching 1st grade in a couple of months! Many have described me and working with kids as “They are drawn to her, she has a heart for loving all kids, and knows how to make any child feel loved and seen.” In the simplest form I can say this is that I love working with kids and making them feel loved and seen and give them opportunities to have fun and grow and I would love any opportunity to watch and make your child(s) feel seen and loved!
