A little bit about me

My name is Alma and I absolutely love caring for children. My husband and I have two children of our own, both of which have special learning difference that we enjoy watching learn and grow. I am a compassionate, loving, and creative Licensed Social Worker. I have years of child care experience, supporting youth in all stages of development. Discovering their unique personalities is a pure delight in my life. My goal is to meet every child right where they are at and to engage with them in a way that is mindful and respectful to them and their families. I seriously love hanging out with children. They are so full of awesome energy and such a joy to be around. I am passionate about children because you can learn a lot from them, like how to enjoy the simple things in life. Things that make my heart overflow with joy are cooking, crafting, dance parties when life meets the top of my capacity meter, reading books, taking walks and meeting people of all different cultures.

A little bit about me

I have lots of experience with children. I have done many summer nanny gigs, temporary nanny gigs, after school care and full time M-F Nanny gigs. It’s something I’ve been doing since I was 16 and I’m now almost 25. I have reference letters and references. I attended the university of Kentucky from [phone number hidden]. I love to cook and I love to plan fun activities! I like to serve as a mentor and watch kids grow. On the weekends I am a entertainment princess I sing dance and attend children’s events and birthdays. I am a small business owner I do photography sessions and videography. I also host self care work shops for Girl Scout troops and pageant workshops. There’s a lot to me but always too much to put into text, so feel free to ask me any questions. I am looking for something more flexible so I can still run my business and be an entertainment princess as well as a few trips. I am extremely flexible and willing to work with someone I would love to hang out with some kids this summer.

A little bit about me

I love to be a crafty and artsy person when I have the free time. I love watching both younger and older kids. I love when they explore and have creative minds. I used to work at a daycare in Powell Ohio and that was a very fun job. I watched little babies to about 3-4 year olds when I worked there. It was fun watching them play around with their friends. I've babysat kids all throughout high school before I graduated in 2013. I am currently working from 9am to 3pm through the week. I am free in the evenings and on the weekends. You can text me in the chats here or send me a Facebook message. I would love to watch your kids and watch them grow.

A little bit about me

Hi there! My name is Emery Artis, I’m 21 years old, and I have three years of hands-on childcare experience. I started my journey working as a teacher’s assistant at a daycare, where I discovered just how much I love working with children of all ages.
Caring for kids brings me so much joy, whether it’s playing, doing fun learning activities, or simply being there to support their daily needs. I believe every child deserves patience, creativity, and a nurturing environment to help them grow and feel loved.
I’m also currently expecting my first little one, and I couldn’t be more excited! This new chapter has made me even more passionate about supporting other families and helping children thrive.
If you’re looking for someone caring, reliable, and genuinely devoted to children’s happiness and development, I’d love to connect with you!
