A little bit about me

I have a lifelong background in childcare, from running my own in‑home daycare to working in multiple childcare facilities, and I bring the calm, nurturing energy that comes from raising four children and loving on five grandchildren. I’m experienced with infants through school‑age kids, comfortable with routines, bottles, naps, developmental play, and the everyday chaos that comes with little ones. Families describe me as reliable, compassionate, and easy to connect with — the kind of caregiver who becomes part of the home and makes life smoother for everyone.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I ran my own in‑home daycare years ago and also worked in several childcare centers, both while my children were younger and after my youngest started school. I’m a mother of four and a very active grandmother — not the “old” kind, but the full‑of‑energy, always‑moving, kid‑loving kind. I provide a structured, dependable environment while still keeping things fun, engaging, and developmentally appropriate. Caring for children has been a major part of my life, and I bring maturity, patience, and genuine joy to every family I work with.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy a wide variety of activities with children, both indoors and outdoors. Depending on their ages, I love doing outdoor play, walks, parks, sidewalk chalk, bubbles, and simple nature activities. Indoors, I enjoy games, crafts, reading, sensory play, building, and even relaxing movie time when it fits the day. I’m very hands‑on, full of energy, and genuinely love spending time with kids. I always keep things fun while still providing structure, routines, and responsibility.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny is creating a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where children feel secure, happy, and excited to spend their day. I believe in building real connections — when the kids take to me, I take to them, and everything feels natural. I value structure, consistency, and responsibility, but I also make sure there’s plenty of fun, laughter, and moments that make them feel seen and supported. Being a nanny isn’t just a job to me; it’s being a steady, positive part of a child’s everyday life.

My experience with special needs children...

I previously cared for two children for a single mother, and one of them was a special‑needs little girl. She connected with me quickly and did extremely well in my care. I focused on patience, consistency, and creating a calm, structured environment that helped her feel safe and supported. That experience taught me how important individualized attention is, and it’s something I carry into all my caregiving.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite nanny moments are always the ones where everything just clicks — when the kids take to me, I take to them, and we all feel comfortable and natural together. I love those days filled with giggles, little conversations, playing, learning, and just genuinely enjoying each other’s company. When the kids feel safe, happy, and excited to spend time with me, that’s when I know I’m exactly where I’m meant to be.

Part-Time Child Care Provider Available in North Port, FL: Aaleeah B.

Hi!

My name is Aaleeah and i’m 19 years old. I have a full time job Monday- Thursday as a nanny and would love to find someone for weekends. I would describe my personality as outgoing, fun, helpful and loving.
I like working with kids because it honestly just makes me happy and it gives me an opportunity to grow for my future. I was in college to be a teacher and absolutely love children! I did end up dropping out but am planning on going back to online college.
I started working with kids when I was 10 years old and have been babysitting infants- teenagers for years but have a lot of experience because my first year of college I was able to be in and out of different classrooms often! With that I was able to learn and grow as not only a teacher but a babysitter!
In my spare time, I like to do anything outdoors!
I am CPR certified and would love to talk if you are interested:)
