Hi! I’m a college student in the nursing program looking for a part-time sitter job over the weekends! I am CPR certified and a CNA, so I have the skills and patience to care for the little ones :) My previous experience was volunteering at my local church to teach and care for third graders, 1st graders, and kindergartners a few years back. Although I don’t have a lot of childcare experience, I would love to be given the opportunity to care for them and get to know them!

Hi I’m Ayla, I’m a 24 year old, I’ve loved and cared for many siblings, families and a vast variety of pets. I have had some experience with special needs. I’m great with routines and can do mild cooking and cleaning. I have my own 1 year old daughter that I would be bringing along in addition to my services. She is amazing and I would love for her to be able to socialize more as well, I do not have my own childcare so having her with me is my only option.

Hello! My name is Runa, I believe that caring for a child is one of the greatest honors. It's a role that fills me with happiness and provides a genuine wonder for the world. I approach childcare with a philosophy of mutual learning, knowing that children are not just students, but also incredible teachers. I have a background in both group and individual care. I previously worked in a gym daycare, caring for a wide age range of children, from infants as young as 6 months to pre-teens. My most recent experience has been as a live-in nanny for a wonderful baby, where I lived in a separate unit connected to the main house by a breezeway. This long-term, one-on-one experience has been a true delight and has deepened my skills in infant care. Beyond my passion for childcare, I am a dedicated professional who owns and operates a health and wellness business and a non-profit. I am deeply committed to helping others on their personal journeys. I look forward to connecting with a family who values a dedicated and well-rounded caregiver.
