Shameena M., Child Care in State College, PA 16801 with 0 years of paid experience

Hi, my name is Shameena and I’m currently a senior at Penn State University. I’m majoring in pre-med and I hope to become a pediatrician. I love reading romantic novels and watching rom-coms movies. I’m looking for part time either babysitting or being a nanny. I have one year experience with babysitting. It consisted of taking the kids to the bus stop in the morning and the occasional evening where the parents would go out for a bit. I was also a kindergarten teacher assistant in high school for a semester as well. Yet, I would say that I did babysit my three younger siblings when growing up. I know that most would say that it doesn’t fall under the category of babysitting, but as being the oldest I had to watch and sometimes feed my siblings when my parents were away for a few hours.

I am currently a teacher at a local preschool and have been teaching since 2022. I graduated from Penn State August 2023, with a bachelor’s in Psychology and Early Childhood Education credits. I am working on completing my ECE schooling. I love working with children because there’s nothing better than being able to teach and guide them into a healthy and positive development. I also enjoy teaching them new things about the world that strikes their creativity and imagination. I have all of my clearances such as mandated reporter, NSOR, child abuse, etc.

Hi there! My name is Angela, but I prefer Angie. I am 27 years old. I have an amazing 11-year-old brother that I practically raised myself. I am an Animal lover, I have a dog, 2 cats, a few fish, a rabbit, and a hamster! During the past three year I have had the pleasure at working at some of the centers around town. While I was there I worked with a variety of age groups ranging from (1.5-2.5yrs), (3-5) (Pre-K) as well as infants (2mo-18mo). I do have all of my clearances, check ups, back ground checks, trainings (such as first aid and CPR) as well as training early childhood development. I am passionate about watching children grow and explain and learn the world around them. It takes a village sometimes, so let's build that village and connect to see how we can help each-other's needs! I look forward to speaking with you! If you have questions feel free to ask, Thanks!

Emily B., Child Care in State College, PA 16801 with 3 years of paid experience

Nurturing young minds and fostering their development is truly my passion. My three years of experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens, has solidified my commitment to providing a safe and engaging environment. I am patient, creative, and approachable, and I enjoy playing outdoor games, board games, and educational activities. I am very comfortable enforcing household rules and always prioritize open communication with parents through verbal updates or their preferred method. I hold current First Aid Training and CPR Training, and my early childhood development coursework further enhances my ability to provide quality care. I am happy to assist with light housekeeping and swimming supervision. Ultimately, I aim to be more than just a caregiver; I want to be a positive influence in your children's lives, and I look forward to discussing how I can best support your family.
