A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Caelle, and I’m a loving, patient, and energetic caregiver with years of experience working with children from tiny newborns to curious pre teens. I’ve always had a natural passion for caring for kids, and that’s a big part of why I’m currently a nursing student. I love creating safe, fun, and nurturing environments where every child feels seen, happy, and cared for.

I’ve worked as a camp counselor, supported children with different needs, and have babysat for families of all ages. Whether I’m helping with homework, reading stories, creating activities, doing arts & crafts, or calming a fussy baby, I always bring patience, warmth, and positive energy.

Parents describe me as dependable, responsible, and incredibly caring. I always show up on time, follow routines, and communicate clearly. I’m also very flexible and available whenever you need me
I truly love working with kids and would be excited to support your family. I can’t wait to meet you and your little ones!

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Ashley. I’m a college student with a strong passion for working with children—especially infants and toddlers. I grew up in a big family, so caring for younger kids has always been a natural part of my life.

I have two years of daycare experience, where I started as an assistant and worked my way up to becoming a certified teacher. I’m fully trained, patient, responsible, and love creating a safe, fun, and learning-focused environment.

I’m also bilingual in English and Spanish, which has been a big help for families who prefer communication in either language. Parents can count on me for reliability, clear communication, and lots of positive energy. I truly enjoy helping children learn, grow, and feel cared for.
