A little bit about me

My name is Jazmin, and I have a great passion for working with children. I am a very patient person, and I enjoy teaching them new things, watching their progress and development. I have approximately 2 years of experience in childcare, and I currently work at a daycare. Additionally, I hold a CDA (Child Development Associate) which supports my training and commitment to early childhood education and care.

My experience, along with my certification, has allowed me to develop essential skills in group management, planning educational activities, and handling challenging situations with calm and efficiency. Over the years, I have learned to adapt my teaching methods to meet the individual needs of each child, ensuring they feel safe and motivated to learn.

My goal is to continue growing in this field, providing a positive and enriching learning environment for all the children I work with.

A little bit about me

Our names are Rachel and Jael we are 13 & 11 years old and we want to babysit. Why? Because since kids we've always had a passion of taking care of kids whenever we have time, and it also brightens our day. Not to confuse you because we are still young, but have experience by taking care of many kids at once in the babycare section of our church. We have worked with kids from ages 1-8 and grew bonds with them. Our cousins whose ages are between that range we take care of when they sleep-over, visit, or when we go out together. The time we would really suggest for us to work is 12 PM to 6 PM.( Usually on weekends, unless we get a break)
(WE DON'T DO RATS, SPIDERS, ROACHES. basically insects)
