A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Mikhaela, I love music, art, and animals. I’ve worked at a daycare for 2 years now, and I babysat for a family friend for a few years at an earlier age. I love the kids I work with as if they were mine, they have healed a part of me I never knew was broken. I plan to go back to school in the fall for social work, and early education. I’d love to be of service to your families!!

A little bit about me

Hi! I go by Lola, I am 16 years old, I cheered for 10 years and played a season of tackle football. During this, I used to student-coach the younger kids in football n cheer. I am very outgoing and love connecting with others! I am also creative with a love for nature, cooking, cleaning, exercise, reading, n animals. I have sitted my little brother and cousins since i was 12. Personal care is important to me so I try to be as healthy as can be. I tend to cook healthy nutrition balanced meals for myself but I do still enjoy eating unhealthy foods! Therefore me putting together meals or snacks would never be an issue. I’ve grown up with all boy siblings and cousins so naturally i’m a conflict deescalater. My brothers autistic so I work well with kids on the spectrum. Under my watch, i’d love to engage in playing games, making crafts, helping with younger kids homework, or getting in some movement. I could do mornings or afternoons depending on the day, and I’d love to be your babysitter!

A little bit about me

I work full time already but am interested in doing some babysitting on the side. My schedule is not set so my availability is not always consistent however my schedule is created 3 weeks in advance so I am able to plan around my full-time. I’ve babysat before for ages ranging between new born and 10 years old and would like to work with the same age group again. I’m great at keeping kids entertained while honoring requests such as healthy food, homework, night time routines, etc. I always make sure to clean up after myself and have no problem helping with extra cleaning tasks.
