Hello, my name is Meka. Your child can call me MS. MEKA. I use to be a full time Child Care Provider years ago, but due to daily pain I could not do it full time anymore. I still love helping parents out in anyway that I can along with teaching & adding structure. I also know it’s hard to find quality care and people you trust and those who will be an advocate for your child.. (children in general). I am a mother of 3... ages 30, 25 & 23. I have bonus children too…. Also my oldest just had a little precious one(My grand age 3). I was home with them majority of their early childhood & teen years being able to prepare them for school, helping with school work, taking them to their activities, taking them to school, and making sure they completed high school and/ or college...(Honor grad/Cum Laude grad & many meetings/support for my child who has Dyslexia). I do believe “Learning starts at home”. I was a single mom most of that time. There were many times, I had to get 3 kids to 3 different events at the same time, but parents make a way & God will put the right people in your path to help you. Please let me know if I can be any assistance to you or your family. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have. Also, I am First Aid/CPR Certified & I have a background check through the state!! Along with completed requirements for Water Safety for Parents & Caregivers. Thank you... have a blessed day!

Meka was great at communicating from the beginning and easy to coordinate with. She was so kind to our baby girl and great at incorporating educational activities. She sent updates and pictures and gave a full report at the end of her visit. Would recommend her to anyone and would love to have her over again!

I'm a reliable and dependable mature women that has many years of experience with children of working and military families in the area. I'm a fun and exciting woman that love's to read, sing, dance and encourage educational and social development for your child. I'm a old fashioned caregiver that pays total care of your children . I know the importance of knowing that your child is safe and secure while you are working. With this day and time technology is good in many ways, but not your cargiver on their phone texting or watching TV. But interactions with your child. I have worked with twins, infant's, school age children and teenagers. I'm a proud mother of three myself the are all college grads now, as I was a divorce single mom. So I do understand the importance of professional care. I have medical background (Med-Tech,Medical Assistant, Nursing assistant) also was a caterer of good and healthy meals. Thank you for reading my bio, if I could be of any assistance to you and your family fill free to notify me to talk further about your childcare needs. Thank you

Both my baby and I had a fantastic experience with Bonita. She arrived early, which immediately showed her professionalism and reliability. From the moment she arrived, she was warm, friendly, and attentive to my baby. The best part was how quickly my baby took to her. My baby was comfortable, happy, and clearly enjoyed spending time with her, which gave me peace of mind. It's not always easy leaving your child with someone else, but she made the entire experience stress-free. Bonita was caring, responsible, and communicative throughout the visit. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable babysitter, and I look forward to having her watch my baby again.

An adult, responsible Gramma/mother that loves children! I started babysitting at the age of 11 for infants and young children. I have a college background in early childhood education. I have been AED/CPR certified by the American Heart Association, pending renewal. I have many years of mothering experience with children from infant to teen. I have worked a little with special needs but do not have professional training, but I am willing and have the patience. I am an nurturing, organized, mature, neat, tidy, responsible, caring, loving, creative "cool" mom, and will watch your children as if they were my own. I am artsy, fun but firm, I have my own transportation, and am available on short notice. I have a cleared background check with my current employer, with my daughter's school district, and local youth recreational sports league. I don't have a curfew and can stay out late on weeknights! I also love animals, so your pets will feel safe with me too! You can be assured your children will be well cared for while you are away. I can cook, and am also willing to help with light housekeeping. Thanks for reading!

Jean was great! My 6 month old is definitely a mama's girl, and has only been with a sitter once before, so I was a little nervous to see how she would do with out me, and Jean did wonderful. My 11 year old son was happy too. They watched movies and had popcorn. Needless to say, I would feel very comfortable having her watch the kiddos again.

In the past, my mother owned a licensed, at-home daycare, where I helped take care of many different children. It was during this time that I realized that I love teaching toddlers their ABCs and numbers, as well as helping them learn how to read. So, even though I am in college at the moment, I would still like to continue doing my part in providing positive development to younger children. I have experience working with kids who have autism or other special needs—I've mostly worked with children ages 2-4, but have plenty of experience with infants as well. In addition, I can drive!

Hello! My name is Yaslin. I am a recent graduate who completed my training as a Physician Assistant and am currently awaiting certification. I’m excited to begin working as a PA soon, and in the meantime, I’m looking to babysit as I truly enjoy working with children. I have several years of experience caring for children in both medical and educational settings. I worked as a Medical Assistant for four consecutive years at two private pediatric practices in New York City, and I have also been a summer camp counselor and a daycare assistant. During my training, I continued volunteering as a daycare assistant, where I helped children with homework, assisted with feeding, and supported their daily routines and care needs. I have experience working with children ranging from six months old to teenagers, and I feel very comfortable adapting to different age groups and needs. I am CPR and AED certified and have also worked in after-school programs with children from kindergarten through 8th grade. In that role, I provided tutoring support, helped children transition between activities, and ensured their safety while offering guidance and structure throughout the day.

I believe childhood should be filled with curiosity, kindness, and joyful learning through play.

I am bilingual (English/Spanish), CPR and First Aid certified, and a graduate of Mount Holyoke College. Throughout my career, I've developed my own nature-inspired learning activities that help children build language, creativity, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning.
