Hi! My name is Paiton I am 20 years old and in the process of getting a degree in languages studies with five years of experience providing childcare for families. My passion for working with children stems from a desire to positively impact their lives and support families in need of reliable care. I believe in creating a nurturing and stimulating environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive. I'm a creative and friendly person.

My name is Crystal. I am 40 years young with lots of time in childcare. I have two grown young men both looking into being in the arts. One loves music and making sounds. The other a graphic arts designer. As high schooler, I took Child Development because I've always loved children. I would say I want ten however, I was only able to have two. I am looking to foster a child and adopt. I was adopted at two weeks old so I learned to love unconditionally at an early age. I love to teach. I took seven years of Spanish in school and I'm refreshing as I continue to teach. I'm also learning sign language. I have numerous clock hours and CPR training from my current and previous jobs. My goal is to open my own center and retire watching all my babies grow in productive and respectful individuals. I AM VERY COVID CAUTIOUS! My son is diabetic and lives at home.

I have experience as a YMCA Camp Attendant and a full-time Summer Camp Counselor at Camp Ondessonk, making me CPR certified.

I’m currently graduate in languages and worked as a teacher for a year before moving to the US, worked with many different ages. Came to work with a family taking care of 5 kids (2,3,3,10,12) for a year. Was responsible for all the kids’ needs like cooking, taking and picking them to school, baths, bedtime, play time etc. Just stop working for them because I got married and needed different documents to work. When got my documents I found out I was pregnant so didn’t go back to work. Now my daughter is 10 months and I’m wanting to go back to work so I can help more at home. So I’m currently looking for a job that I could take her with me.

My name is Sandy, I am 38 years old. I spent the first 10 years of my career life as a traveling AuPair and I absolutely loved it. I took time off after having children of my own and went into the exciting world of customer service. Since the Covid-19 pandemic I went back to my roots and started working in child care again. I began to realize all that I missed about it. I loved homeschooling my own children so I am willing to do that. I am very comfortable with babies so infant care is also something I am open to. I am most looking forward to bonding with a child and caring for them as I would my own and giving the parents I work for the peace of mind and security that is needed when leaving for work and putting your kids in the care of someone else. I would like to start asap and I would like to work with a family who wants a commitment- not a short term arrangement.

I am a dedicated and responsible childcare professional with a strong background in early childhood education.

I find being a sitter fulfilling because I love working and caring for children. I love building connections with kids and being someone they can rely on who can help them feel safe, heard, and loved. I have experience with elementary age school children ranging from ages five to eleven. I worked as a teachers assistant and an afterschool program teacher at an elementary school. During my experience with these programs I learned how to manage a curriculum, assist with student meal preparation, give personalized reading lessons, and supervise classrooms of up to thirty students.I am confident in my ability to comfort, soothe, and teach children of all ages, while loving every second of the process.

I’m the eldest of the children in my family, so I discovered my natural caregiving nature at a young age. I have been a caregiver of people ages 3 through 93! The elderly are such treasure troves of wisdom and history, and the children are good for my soul; they amuse me, surprise me and fascinate me. I like watching them grow, I like teaching them and getting the satisfaction that I have helped a young one learn learn. Currently I am caring for sisters—a three-year-old, and one who turned six years old last month. I most like to play and interact with them in way in which they learn. For example, the girls’ first language is English, and I am teaching them to speak Spanish. Of course, what I’m able to teach them depends on age and what a parent wants in that regard. I’m willing to do light housekeeping, and I am also an experienced house sitter and pet sitter. I’m extremely flexible, I have references, and I’m looking forward to having an opportunity to get acquainted with some parents to see if our needs mesh!
