Hello my name is Wayna, I am 19 years old. I was born and raised in Jamaica I came to the U.S when I was 11 ever since I was young I always wanted to be a pediatrician because I love kids and love seeing them happy. I grew up watching all my cousins from feeding them to changing their diapers to them taking naps and also potty trained them. I’m really good with kids, I’m calm patient and very understanding. Babysitting is an absolute joy for me! I love it because it allows me to connect with kids, their innocence, and their unique perspectives on life. It's like opening a window to a world full of imagination and endless possibilities. Plus, their energy and enthusiasm are infectious, it can truly brighten my day. I also appreciate the responsibility that comes with it, as it helps me grow as a person. And let's not forget, the joy of seeing them learn new things and grow is beyond rewarding. It's a job that's filled with love, laughter, and life lessons.

I am a Career Development Counselor at Holyoke Community College. I use child development theory when working with children to meet kiddos where they are at developmentally. I love spending time with kids who are interested in drawing, doing crafts, reading books, and playing outside! I’m not a couch potato, so my focus would be on activities that involve the least amount of TV as possible :) I am fluent in Spanish & Urdu. As I have a full-time job, my babysitting availability is limited to date nights, weekends, and holidays.

Hi! My name is Stella and I’m a senior at Mount Holyoke majoring in Psychology and Education, about to graduate with Massachusetts Early Childhood Educator licensure. For the past two years, I served as a student and substitute teacher at Hadley Elementary School, where I developed bilingual Spanish/English lessons for a second-grader learning foundational English skills. Additionally, I have served as an Enrichment Teacher within the LAUSD, leading science, art, and physical education classes for children ages 4-11. In every role I step into, I facilitate play-based learning with creativity and warmth. I holistically enrich and celebrate students of all backgrounds and identities. This summer, I’m seeking a flexible childcare position before I dive into full-time teaching. Please do not hesitate to reach out for more information about my qualifications. I look forward to the prospect of working with your family ☺️ Warmly, Stella Genis
