Lisa A., Child Care in Portage, PA 15946 with 5 years of paid experience

I am an experienced and dependable childcare provider with a strong background in caring for children of all ages. I previously operated a licensed daycare in New York, where I provided a safe, structured, and nurturing environment for multiple children daily. I am a parent of five and a grandparent of two, giving me extensive hands-on experience with infants, toddlers, school-aged children, and teens. I am CPR and First Aid certified and place a high priority on child safety, emotional well-being, and age-appropriate development. I am patient, attentive, and skilled at managing routines such as meals, naps, homework support, and engaging activities. I communicate well with parents and understand the importance of trust, consistency, and reliability in childcare.

I like being a sitter because I like getting to know people and I like helping out the parents/family. I babysat kids as young as 2 and as old as 15. I used to babysit my siblings, family friends kids, and other family’s children. I do enjoy spending time with them and playing with them as well as taking care of them. I know how to easily calm kids down, I am patient and am not easily provoked, and I like to help children that struggle open up more and allow themselves to have fun.

I started watching children at a daycare in 2014 in New Jersey and discovered I had a real passion for it. I did that for several years and then moved to Johnstown in February 2016. Recently, I had the opportunity to watch two toddlers locally for several months. Presently, I am volunteering at my church in my neighborhood in Westmont as an assistant for the religious education program. I am certified with the American RedCross in Adult and Pediatric First Aid/ CPR/ AED. I have a certificate of completion from the Diocese of Altoona-Johnstown for Protecting God’s Children’ , a Certificate of Completion through Office of Child and Youth Protection. All is clear on my driving record and background checks. All references and certifications are furnished upon request.

Joanna D., Child Care in Portage, PA 15946 with 5 years of paid experience

I’ve been babysitting since I was young. Last year because of COVID I began looking for a nanny job since I am majoring in education and wanted some hands on experience. I am looking for another job because my previous nanny job working with a female toddler fell through. I love working with kids and this is what I want to do for a living (education) once I graduate college!
