Hello parents! 😁 I’m a proud mother of five children, three ladies and two fellas, ages 20 to 28. In 2022, I became a Grammy to each a girl and a boy and another grandson came along in 2024. Twelve years ago, I earned a Master’s degree in Education and have over seven years of teaching experience in public education at both the high school and middle school levels. In my early years of motherhood, I operated in-home daycares for infants to pre-school aged children. I have taught and assisted many times in church Sunday School classes (nursery to high school) and have led and assisted with Vacation Bible School (nursery to high school). I have also led and assisted with youth groups and activities to include attending week-long summer camps and weekend retreats. I’m a divorcee of a retired serviceman. For those military families reviewing my profile, I’m very familiar with life in the military and the challenges that are presented along the journey. Thank you for your dedication and service! Needless to say, I have a genuine love for children of all ages and enjoy teaching and nurturing them; helping each one grow and learn to be the unique person they are created to be. Activities I take pleasure in are walking, reading, crafting, healthy eating, spending time in the kitchen and listening to music (dancing to the music, as well, even if someone is watching!). These are also some of the things I like to do with children, and of course, encouraging them to find and pursue their own interests and participating along with them. Life is certainly meant to be enjoyed, but there are times the fun might need to wait. You can be assured that your children will be accountable for their personal responsibilities (when applicable) like chores and homework (which I’m more than willing to assist), but who says these things can’t be fun? It’s all about perspective and that’s what I hope to instill in your children should you give me the opportunity. I appreciate the time you have taken to review my profile!

We adore Karla and have had the best experience with her. I have a 18 month old and Karla has worked for us for almost a year now. She is so sweet with her and i feel like she just understands babies and kids so well. Shes never distracted and is always attentive to Reese, which was something I really was looking for in a nanny. She has been flexible with our schedule and is always reliable. I would recommend her over and over again. She feels like family for us.

Jelina was a dream come true. I immediately felt comfortable with her; she is articulate, kind, and has seemingly endless patience with my 10 month old. My daughter LOVED her from day one and Jelina went out of her way to make sure she was alwasy engaged and learning new things as she played. She is also very prompt, communicative, and ensures that we are on the same schedule and that all expectations are clear. I would highly recommend Jelina.

I cannot say enough good things about her. Finding someone you truly trust with your children—especially when you have a mix of needs—is not easy, but she has exceeded every expectation I had. She is incredibly attentive, patient, and genuinely caring with all of my children. My neurotypical kids absolutely adore her and constantly rave about how much fun they have when she’s around. My daughters especially love her and are always excited when they know she’s coming, and my toddler son is comfortable and happy in her care. What means the most to me, though, is how she shows up for my autistic daughter. She is calm, understanding, and meets her exactly where she is. There is a level of patience and compassion she brings that you simply cannot teach—and it truly shows in how comfortable and happy my daughter is with her. My autistic daughter is genuinely happy when she’s here, and that peace of mind is everything as a parent. She is reliable, communicative, and brings such a positive, warm energy into our home. I feel completely at ease knowing my children are in her care. She doesn’t just “watch” them—she connects with them, supports them, and creates a safe, happy environment. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your children as if they were her own, she is truly a gem.

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.

Yaslin was absolutely amazing. She played with my son and made sure he got to bed. The next day he said he really likes Yaslin and enjoyed his time with her. I highly recommend her.

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, 26, and 24. I have bonus children too…. Also my oldest just had a little precious one(My grand age 4). 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!

Ms. Meka is amazing! She was so kind and patient with both of my girls. She worked with my oldest on writing her name and got my six month old to drink from a bottle and started sleep training in the crib. She’s fun and engaging and played music. The girls absolutely adored her! I would absolutely recommend her!

I was a certified EMT prior to leaving my job to being put on bed rest due to my pregnancy, and becoming a stay at home mom. I am a stay at home mom of 2 boys... one is 2, and the other is 7. Would love some other littles for my youngens to play with. Pricing varies depending on need. I have 2 recent (within the last year) references upon request.
