Christy R., Child Care in Southaven, MS 38671 with 10 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Christy. I love babies and children more than anything! I’ve been blessed with 5 children. I have 2 daughters (25 & 27) and 3 sons (18, 22, & 24). Much of my childcare experience comes from being a stay-at-home mother to all of my children. I also have many years of experience babysitting, and I’ve worked in a daycare center, church nursery, and as a nanny. My experience includes premature babies and caring for children on the autism spectrum, children with ADHD, and Type 1 Diabetes. I love animals, so your pets will get lots of love and attention, too! I have 2 dogs and 4 cats. I am a non-smoker, have reliable transportation, and I’ve taken an online CPR class through The Red Cross. I’m happy to answer any questions and I look forward to meeting you and your family!

Larrisa  H., Child Care in Southaven, MS 38671 with 4 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Risa, and I’m a nurturing, dependable caregiver with hands-on childcare experience that started long before it became a job. I come from a big family with eight siblings—five older and three younger—so caring for children of all ages has always been a natural part of my life. I’m confident working with infants, toddlers, preteens, and teens, and I adjust my approach to meet each child where they are developmentally. I’m very patient, attentive, and emotionally aware, which helps me connect easily with children and respond to their individual needs. I believe in engaging kids through age-appropriate play, reading, music, and creative activities while maintaining structure, safety, and consistency. I’m also comfortable with light child-related housekeeping, meal prep, and helping maintain daily schedules. Families describe me as trustworthy, calm under pressure, and someone they can truly rely on. I take pride in being present, proactive, and communicative with parents, and I treat every child in my care with the same love and protection I would want for my own family. I would love the opportunity to support your family and be a positive, dependable presence in your child’s life.

Devin D., Child Care in Southaven, MS 38671 with 6 years of paid experience

Hi! I’m Devin, an early-childhood educator with 6 years of experience in roles ranging from babysitter to teacher. I am diligent, adaptable, and compassionate, and I consider my investment in young minds to be an investment in a better future for us all. I am comfortable caring for more than one child and have looked after children ages 4 months to 14 years old. I love reading, playing outside, and cultivating other fun, creative, and developmentally appropriate educational experiences. Babysitting/nannying is not just about caring for your child, but also your home and pets. I am an experienced pet sitter, including pets with special needs. I am also comfortable cleaning, running errands, and preparing meals with any dietary specifications. I am attentive to your parenting styles and preferences; I take the time to learn each family and child’s needs when they come under my care. And of course, my most important consideration is providing a physically and emotionally safe, educational, and caring environment for your children while you are at work or away.

Lauren L., Child Care in Southaven, MS 38671 with 18 years of paid experience

I have always had a deep love for babies and children. I began babysitting at the age of 13 and quickly realized how much I enjoyed caring for and nurturing little ones. Over the years, that passion grew into a lifelong career. At 24, I accepted my first professional nanny position, caring for five children on the weekends for up to 12 hours a day. During that time, I was also blessed to occasionally bring my two-year-old daughter with me, which helped me learn even more about balancing individual needs, managing routines, and creating a nurturing environment for multiple children at once. I bring 18 years of experience in childcare, with a strong focus on infants and young children. I am certified in First Aid and CPR, and I am also a Certified Medical Assistant, which gives me an added layer of confidence when it comes to safety, health, and emergency care. I pride myself on being warm, patient, dependable, and attentive, and I truly enjoy supporting children’s growth while providing families with peace of mind.
