A little bit about me…

Hi! My name is Ayon’e I prefer to go by Yon’e. I don’t have any paid experience with nannying or babysitting, but I do have experience growing up watching family members children and my youngest siblings and nieces and nephews:). I’ve taken care of children ages 1m-10yrs old. I’m currently working in healthcare doing caregiving but I plan on going back to school for sonography! I’m usually very on the shy side but with children I’m more extroverted! I have a lot of patience and I’m very gentle and understanding. I’m also CBRF aide certified if that gives more security! Some of my hobbies are reading, going on walks, swimming, writing poetry, and watching films & learning new recipes to make!

A little bit about me…

Hello! I am a Junior at UW-Madison studying Elementary and Special Education. My entire life, I have known I wanted to work with kids, and I began working as an elementary special education paraprofessional in high school and continue to go home and work over breaks from college. I also have been working at a daycare on the south side of Madison for over the past year and will be staying there through the summer as well. I have had tons of experience through classes in early childhood, elementary, and special education, as well as infant and toddler programming. I am hoping to find an occasional babysitting gig to help save up some extra money for school. Overall, I am excited to hopefully connect and find a family I can babysit for long-term throughout the rest of my college experience!
