Holly K. - Seeking Work in St. Petersburg

Part-Time Child Care Provider Available in St. Petersburg, FL: Holly K.

My career in child care actually started growing up in a house of two educators. Both of my parents are teachers. My dad was also a coach, I became the designated caregiver for all the families' children at every sporting event. That is truly where my love for helping others began. My mom specializes in special needs education. Through her, I was fortunate to be introduced to families who needed extra, specialized support. Caring for those children became my very first job and gave me foundational skills in patience, adaptability, and inclusive care. Since then, I’ve worked as a flight attendant, which really elevated my professional childcare skills. In that role, I underwent rigorous training to earn my CPR and First Aid certifications, perfected safe meal preparation, and mastered the art of managing high-stress situations calmly. Making sure your children are completely safe, engaged, and supported would be my number one priority.
