A little bit about me

Hi!
I’m Neelab! I’m a responsible, caring, and energetic college student looking for a summer caregiving position. I have years of experience babysitting my younger cousins of different ages and love creating a fun, safe, and positive environment for kids. I also previously worked at Lifetime Fitness as a kids instructor, where I supervised children, led activities, helped with routines, and made sure every child felt included and comfortable. Families would describe me as patient, dependable, organized, and easy to communicate with. I’m happy to help with playtime, homework, meals, light housekeeping, and keeping children engaged throughout the day. I truly enjoy working with kids and building strong relationships with families!

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Alexandra (Alex), I’m 18, and I genuinely love working with kids, they’re such a blessing, and being part of their day brings me so much joy. I’ve spent the past few months helping in Sunday school, creating a calm, fun, and supportive environment where kids feel safe and encouraged.

I’m a dedicated, patient, and warm-hearted person, and I love keeping children engaged with crafts, outdoor play, and simple games that spark creativity. I’ve had my driver’s license for over a year, I’m involved in student council, and I enjoy art and caring for animals.
