A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Michele and I am new to the Martinsville. I've relocated from Fredericksburg, Va where I have lived and worked for more than twenty years. I am a mother of five happy, well-adjusted children of my own that are now grown. I have experience with autistic as well as behavioral challenged children as well as teenagers that need special understanding, care and guidance. I am attentive, fun loving and enjoy getting down on the ground to play as well as providing structure for outdoor enjoyment. Parks, sports games, bicycling, arts, etc. are all on my list of can and will do. I am currently enrolled at Southern Virginia Community College studying substance abuse counseling with my classes being taken on line and flexible.

A little bit about me

Hi, I'm Alteria also known as Teri. I'm 19 years-old. I am an only child, I've always wanted younger siblings. I've baby-sat many different children (disabled or not). The oldest child I've baby-sat was 14. He had two younger brothers. One was an infant and the other was two years old who was also autistic. I've watched five children at once, which is the most number of children I've watched. When I babysit, I normally follow any instructions that were left for me to do. If not then I'll do what's expected of a babysitter. I'll prepare food, clean up after myself and the child/children, fed them if they need me to, help wih homework, and whatever else needs to be done. One thing you can definitely expect from me is that your child will be taken care of. Another thing is that I'm a talker, so you child or children will be entertained.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Kailyn, and I’m 18 years old. I currently work as a phlebotomist in a hospital, but my true passion has always been working with children. I have been caring for kids since I was 12 years old and have experience with children of all ages.
I have also worked as a lead teacher in a daycare, where I cared for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, including children with special needs. My experience has taught me the importance of creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and feel supported.
I am patient, dependable, responsible, and love building meaningful relationships with the children and families I work with. Whether it's helping with daily routines, planning engaging activities, or simply being a caring and reliable presence, I always strive to provide the best care possible.
I look forward to meeting your family and creating a positive, safe, and loving environment for your little ones!
