A little bit about me
Hi! I am a 20 year old first time mommy. My baby girl, Evangeline was born January 16, 2026. I am pet friendly. I am a Christian but I am loved by many religious and non religious. I have baby sat almost my entire life for extra money for school. I love kids so much that I have my baby. I need a job that allows me to bring my baby to work. I currently baby sit 2 girls ages 3 and 1 (with my baby), but that is only on Fridays or occasional weekends of vacation. I want a stable job that allows me to build a future for my baby. She deserves the best. I drive, have my own license, and it has insurance. I havent gotten in a car accident, however some high schooler hit my car while being parked. He had no insurance. Anyways. I can help cook for the little ones, drive them anywhere, and I even teach piano(thats an extra cost). Please call me and leave a text [phone number hidden]

Hi there, my name is Emily! I’m a caring and creative educator who loves helping little ones learn and grow. I’ve spent several years working with children of all ages, from infants to preschoolers, and I truly enjoy creating fun, hands-on experiences that make each day exciting and meaningful.
I’m CPR and First Aid certified and have completed Early Childhood Education coursework, so I bring both professional training and a lot of heart to what I do. Families I’ve worked with say I’m patient, reliable, and easy to communicate with. I really value getting to know each child’s personality and helping them feel safe, supported, and confident.
Whether we’re exploring outside, doing art projects, or reading together, I always aim to create a warm and positive space where kids can be curious, happy, and themselves.

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Vennencia, and I'm 17 years old, but don't worry I turn 18 in 3 months . I come from a big family with four younger siblings, so I’ve had a lot of experience taking care of kids of all ages. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children—whether it's playing games, helping with homework, or just making sure they’re safe and happy.
I’m responsible, patient, and I understand how important it is to follow family routines and rules. I’m also able to cook, so I can help prepare meals or snacks as needed. I always try to keep things fun and positive while making sure your child is well taken care of.
I’m available during the summer from Mon-Wed , and in my free time I enjoy hobbies, like drawing, baking or doing crafts. I’d love the chance to get to know your family and help out however I can!
