A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Yvette, I'm 26 years old and currently a stay at home mom to two wonderful kids. I'm passionate about working with children and hope to one day work in a daycare. I'm looking for an opportunity to gain more experience by caring for children in a home environment. I love creating a fun, safe, and nurturing space for little ones to play, learn, and grow. Since I don't currently have daycare for my daughter I would need to bring her along with me. She is very sweet, easygoing, and loves playing with other children. I believe this could be a great opportunity for her as well, as I'm working on getting her comfortable in preparation for (TK). I will provide everything she needs; food, snacks, toys, so my attention can remain focused on your children. I'm reliable, patient, and truly enjoy being around kids. I'd love the chance to support your family while building the experience I need to grow in this field.
Thank you for considering me
Yvette

A little bit about me

Just recently graduated from college, and have been doing freelance on my downtime! I love kids and have been helping my mom with supervising young kids since the 6th grade! She is a preschool teacher and I had the privilege to help out with daycare after school and summer school before I went to college. So it’s been many many years of just volunteering my time to spend time with kids and teaching them to play games and learn to write some abc’s as well. It’s always a joy letting a kid be a kid and engaging with them as much as possible without the use of phones or tablets. I can meal prep, and clean up after them and even do more cleaning for you if needed!

A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Paty, and I love working with children. I believe that every child is unique and deserves a safe, caring, and stimulating environment where they can grow and learn. I have experience caring for children between the ages of one and six, helping them explore the world through play, arts and crafts, and other recreational activities.

I am comfortable enforcing household rules while maintaining a structured yet fun routine. I can also supervise swimming and handle light housekeeping tasks related to the children. I speak both English and Spanish fluently, which can be helpful in bilingual families.

More than just a nanny, I strive to be someone parents can trust and someone children can rely on for support and care. I would love the opportunity to care for your little ones and be a part of their daily lives.
