A little bit about me

Hi parents! My name is Montesha, I’m 23 years old and a college student studying nursing with experience caring for kids of all ages. I also have experience as a student teacher assistant, so working with kids comes naturally to me. I’m a proud godmom and bring a calm, patient, “big sister” energy.

I’m reliable, great with routines, playtime, and homework help, and I always prioritize safety (currently becoming CPR certified). I love doing fun activities like coloring and playing outside with chalk, and I’m happy to help with light meals and tidying. I’m available most days outside of my Tuesday and Thursday classes and always plan ahead to be on time. For each additional child, I add $1 to my hourly rate. I’d love to help your family!

A little bit about me

My name is Zaniya, I am 19 years old. I love working with children and enjoy seeing their unique personalities and characteristics as they grow and learn. My priority is always to make sure children are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they are under my supervision. I take the trust that parents place in me very seriously and work hard to provide a safe, supportive, and positive environment. I enjoy teaching young children important early learning skills such as numbers, colors, letters, shapes, and the alphabet. I also help guide them in understanding right from wrong and encourage good behavior. I am patient, nurturing, and attentive, and I also make sure children are comfortable during routines such as nap time. Caring for babies and young children brings me joy, and I strive to help them feel safe, happy, and supported every day.
