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

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!
