Hi! My name is Emilia, and I am a college student at Harding University with a strong passion for helping families create calm, organized, and supportive home environments. I have experience in both childcare and household management, including cleaning, organizing, laundry, meal prep, and running errands. I’ve worked with families to help take stress off their day-to-day responsibilities so they can spend more quality time together. I also grew up helping care for my younger brother and cousins, which naturally built my love for working with kids. I am dependable, flexible, and communicate my schedule clearly and in advance. I thrive in both structured routines and situations that require adaptability. I bring a fun, positive energy into the home while also prioritizing peace, order, and efficiency. I am calm under pressure, proactive, and always look for ways to be helpful. In addition to my home experience, I’ve worked as a server and barista, where I developed strong communication skills, attention to detail, and the ability to multitask in fast-paced environments. I also have a natural eye for organization and enjoy creating systems that help homes run smoothly. I love staying active and being outdoors, and I enjoy engaging with kids in ways that are both fun and enriching. I have previously been CPR certified and would be happy to renew my certification if needed. I truly enjoy working with people and take pride in creating environments where families feel supported, cared for, and at ease.

Emilia was a wonderful asset to our family this semester. She was hired to take care of laundry in the beginning as well as lighthouse work throughout the semester. She picked up doing some kitchen work in addition to the laundry for our family of eight. She was always dependable showed up on time and was very trustworthy.

Hello! My name is Jordan. I am currently studying Early Childhood Education and minoring in Special Education (SPED) and Psychology, with the long-term goal of becoming an Applied Behavior Analyst (ABA) therapist. I absolutely love working with children and helping them safely explore, create, and learn about the world around them. I bring four years of professional childcare experience working with all age groups, from infants to 12-year-olds. Because I navigate personal allergies myself, I am incredibly vigilant, experienced, and comfortable managing strict allergy constraints for children. I am CPR and First Aid certified and happy to provide proof of credentials upon request. I view myself as a true "mommy's helper" and am always glad to go beyond standard babysitting by assisting with grocery shopping, meal preparation, and household tasks. My current availability is highly flexible, including evenings, weekends, and overnight care.

I have my Associates Degree in Early Childhood Education. Over the past 10 years, I've gained experience working with infants all the way up to middle school age children. I enjoy working with children and seeing them grow each and every day. Currently I'm a nanny for two little boys, and have been with the family for the last 3 years. During my nannying with this family, I have relocated with them twice to 2 different states. So its been awesome exploring new environments with the children and seeing their excitement.

I’m a recent master's graduate from Duke, where I majored in marine science. I gained previous experience in childcare during my summer as a daycare teacher for 0-2 year olds at the Noor Academy in Columbia, MO. I assisted in supervising a class of 7 bright and energetic toddlers. I found a lot of fulfillment and love in interacting with and caring for them while creating a safe environment that nurtures their individual growth. I recently received my CPR/First Aid training, have my own car, and am comfortable with pets. I’m happy to chat more if you have any specific questions. Please don’t hesitate to reach out!

Why do you love being a sitter? I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy working with children and being someone they can feel comfortable and safe around. I love getting to know their personalities, keeping them entertained, and helping make their day a little easier for both them and their parents. I also enjoy creating fun activities, playing games, and being involved in their routines while making sure they feel cared for and supported. What experience do you have? I have experience working with children in both childcare and behavioral settings. I worked at a child development center where I cared for children, helped with daily routines, supervised activities, and created a safe and positive environment. I also have experience as a Registered Behavior Technician, where I worked one-on-one with children and gained experience with communication, behavior support, patience, and individualized care. These experiences have taught me how to work with children of different ages, personalities, and needs. What skills and training do you have? I am a Certified Registered Behavior Technician and have training and experience in child development, behavior support, communication, and maintaining a safe environment for children. I am patient, responsible, dependable, and comfortable handling different situations that may come up while caring for children. I’m also comfortable following parents’ instructions and routines and communicating with parents about their child’s day.
