A little bit about me

Hi, I'm Morgan I'll be a freshman year in college this fall. I have always loved working with kids and my long term goal is to become a pediatric neurologist. I love working with all ages but I do have a soft spot for littles under 3. If you have a child who seems to always ask you why I'm your girl. I love to help teach curious minds. My goal is to not only provide top of the line childcare but to help flower creativity and inquiry with the children I work with.
I have had previous certification in CPR and First Aid but I need to renew it. I plan to do this as soon as possible and before taking on a position.

A little bit about me

My name is Abi and I have tons of experience with kids of all ages. I grew up as the first born niece, so the designated free babysitter. Aside from that, I started teaching swim lessons when I was 15. I did this for three years up until this last May, at the YMCA and also as a traveling swim instructor meeting parents in their personal pools. I also started lifeguarding at 16 and did that for two years until this last summer, so although I'm not certified in first aid and CPR anymore, it is something I am familiar with. I am a very social person and I love working with children and getting close to families.

A little bit about me

Hello! I have many years of experience working with children, beginning in middle school through childcare programs at my church. Since then, I have continued to build on that experience as a preschool teacher and now as a foster parent. These opportunities have helped me develop patience, strong communication skills, and an understanding of children’s developmental and emotional needs.

I strive to be dependable, flexible, and supportive for the families I work with. I’m happy to work with your schedule and aim to be a positive, responsible role model for your child. I also understand that every family has its own routines and expectations, and I’m always willing to learn and adapt to what works best for your household to help create a safe, caring, and consistent environment. 😊

A little bit about me

I am a fresh graduate from Ball State University, where I majored in Theatre Education and Women and Gender Studies. During my time there, I focused on empowering students through creativity and literacy. In doing so, I was able to participate in the creation of a theatre-based curriculum that has been proven to accelerate creativity, leadership, and literacy in grades K-6th. I am licensed to teach middle and high school, but have a soft spot for working with struggling young readers. Throughout my time in Muncie, I primarily worked with high-risk students in need of this individualized instruction. I hope to continue to do so well into the future. I appreciate your time!
