Hi, families! My name is Urashia and I am a current undergrad student in UB. I'm studying pre-medicine. I have over 6 years of experience caring for children, ranging from newborns to teenagers, many of whom I have met through Care and while tutoring. I was a Sunday School teacher for few years before moving to Buffalo. Not only that, i also got to babysit with special needs. Children are such a joy and it has been a privilege to work with many families. While I value safety, it is also important to me that kids simply have fun in a creative, loving environment. I enjoy all aspects of childcare, but I especially enjoy arts and crafts, outdoor play, and reading.

Hello! I am a previous nanny & daycare teacher who has been running an in-home daycare for 6 years now. Since having kids of my own, I have watched multiple other children both full and part time to eventually get my LLC. We have been truly blessed in welcoming little ones into our home as my children have made lasting friendships! I am currently looking for part time to full time sitter position within my home located on the West Seneca/Orchard Park border! Contact me for more information. Looking for a little one to begin Fall of 2023!

I am a compassionate, loving, go with the flow woman who adores children. I enjoy bringing my love of music, baking, and outdoor exploration to children. Empowering them to be confident in their own freewill while still being respectful and honoring of those around them. I love the opportunity to get messy, loud and energetic with children… and we clean up afterward, knowing that we had a good, eventful day!

Hi, My name is Jennifer. I am 45, a non- smoker with no children of my own. I went and graduated from St. Mary's High School in Lancaster, NY (1997). I also have a Degree in Early Childhood Education from Villa Maria College of Buffalo (2000). My degree primarily focuses on infants through preschool children, but I do have experience with older children as well. I completed two internships, through Doodlebugs Daycare (Preschool Program) and St. Agnes Grammar School (Kindergarten Class). I graduated from Villa with high honors and have a degree and portfolio to show. I am Infant, Child and Adult CPR Certified through The American Heart Association-recert class taken in June 2025. I have cards issued for both as well as an achievement certificate. I do drive and have a 2019 Kia Sorento AWD and would be willing to do any type of local transportation you may need or require for your child or children. I have a clean drivers license which can be verified, as well as a very recent copy of my driving record abstract. I keep up with defensive driving every three years through AAA of WNY to enhance my driving skills, as well as learn new driving techniques and current statistics. Any type of light cleaning and cooking is fine and completely acceptable. I am fun loving and have been told I have exceptional manners, as I attended all Catholic Schools. I am a nature enthusiast and love animals, especially dogs and cats. I have an outstanding relationship with the Erie County SPCA from past fostering of small animals for them. I especially love going for walks at the Reinstein Woods Nature Preserve and Losson Park. I do have references I can send through email as well. I previously worked for Doodlebugs Daycare, The Advisory Board For Lovejoy Elderly And Youth and The Visually Impaired Preschool. Looking for sporadic work when I am available, 8-16 hours per week. It would be great to continue to utilize my degree and do what I absolutely love! Thank you in advance for taking the time to read my profile. Fully vaccinated as of March 23rd, 2021! Always keep my background check and driving checks up to date. Received the newest Covid booster October 28th, 2025 ( 7 shots total), flu shot given August 27th, 2025 (2025-2026 season) and also had a TDAP booster in 2022. PPD done yearly as well. jmcef@aol.com
