A little bit about me

Hello my name is Brooklyn Wingert. I’m 17 years old and I’m a senior at Jefferson Forest High School and take part time classes at CVCC. This allows me to have a very flexible schedule when I’m needed! I love kids and I make it my personal goal to make sure they are well taken care of, while also ensuring they are entertained at all times. I always put their safety and well being first and would always make sure they’re following rules their parents set in place. I can work anywhere after 10:30 all days of the week except for Tuesdays and Thursdays where I can work starting at 4 due to my CVCC classes. I would be able to start right away and would be very excited about any job opportunity!

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Katrina, and I’m someone who truly enjoys working with kids and helping them feel safe, supported, and cared for. While I don't have paid babysitting experience yet, I’ve spent a lot of time caring for younger cousins and volunteering in Sunday school classrooms. Through those experiences, I’ve learned how to engage children with patience and creativity, whether that’s helping with crafts, playing games, or offering a listening ear. I’m dependable, kind, and always focused on making sure children feel secure and encouraged. I take direction well, am happy to help with routines like nap times or meals, and I’m also very open to learning any specific preferences your family has. If you're looking for someone with a heart for kids and a responsible, helpful attitude, I’d love to connect and see how I can support your family!
