A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Payton and i’m currently 21. I’m from a small town that’s about 3 hours from the city. I love cats, I’m OK with dogs and of course I love kids. I don’t have any of my own but I grew up with my older sisters kids. I have helped take care of them since they were born and they’re currently 7 and 4. I’m willing to love and care for your kids as they are my own. I do not have a set schedule yet as I will be moving to the city in April of 2024. I may start night classes in the summer but I have no other obligations as of now. Ask me anything you would like to know. You can find me on facebook as Payton Ann, if you would like to take a look at my life!!

A little bit about me
Hi, my name is Imaninia, and I am a part-time student. And I have a lot of uncles and aunts who all have children, so I have been watching over kids between the ages of 0 - 9 since I was 12 years old. Since I love kids and want to have a job that won t bring a lot of stress while I am in school, I feel that babysitting will be perfect for me.

A little bit about me
Hi,
My name is Alyssa, I am a second year college student with a passion for childcare and performing arts. My favorite thing to do is connect with my community anyway that I can. In my free time you may find me taking a dance class, trying new foods, or even traveling around the world. I am a jack of all trades when it comes to hobbies and I love trying new things. I can be very creative and fun but being there when you need the extra hands is my biggest concern. A child is not a reflection of you, they’re just a mirror of what you can create.
