A little bit about me

Hello! I've been taking care of children for as long as I can remember. I like you play little games & teach little things here & there with children. Feeding them & making sure there is no additional mess is never an issue for me. Kids will be kids! I am very patient and understanding with children and do my best to get to know them so that everyone gets along just fine.

A little bit about me

Hello! I am so excited to introduce myself to you as a potential caregiver for your littles! My name is Desirae I have cared for and loved on little one’s for about 7.5 years going on 8. I fell in love with providing care for children when I was just a child myself. I’ve tried other lines of work but this is just where my heart lingers to be. I’ve had years of daycare experience and babysitting but I’m not looking for a more full time intimate setting. I can’t wait to meet your family and hopefully join in and share all the wonderful things I have to offer!

A little bit about me

Hello parents my name is Amber, I have worked in early childhood education for over 20 years. I have also worked as a nanny/sitter through agencies as well as private. I also work as an Autism Behavioral Therapist. I have plenty years of experience and plenty references and I can guarantee you will get nothing but the best about me my passion for children came at an early age. At 13 I had my first job at a daycare through the workforce center in Texarkana which is where I’m originally from. My relocation back here to Tx is a fresh start for me from Arkansas to grow my cake business as well as my catering business . But although i have a passion for baking my biggest passion has always been children. I have plenty great references and I can’t wait to hear from you all.

"Amber is a very intelligent and incredible person. My kids and I really loved her as a nanny. She was always one call away when I needed her. I trust her with my children. She moved away to see the world but we always keep in touch and she always call to check on the kids. I really grateful that I had her as my nanny for the time she was here."

A little bit about me

I’m a first time mom looking to gain a more detailed experience working with children of all ages. I grew up always watching & caring for children younger than me since I was 9 & took a class in high school that worked along special needs children. I believe children are also teachers and there’s always something we can learn from them while having fun.

"Priscilla is a dedicated worker that is always willing to help new employees. Her adaptability is evident in her ability to work in any position effortlessly. She is very personable and created many work relationships with both colleagues and customers. Priscilla is very punctual as well and often times took the initiative to run errands for the store when we were in need of supplies. Her ability to multitask and not stress under pressure was an immeasurable asset on the job. Priscilla earned everyone’s trust with her work ethic and kind personality. She was also one of the few workers who had a personal set of keys to open and close the store, displaying the immense trust the owner and management have for her. Priscilla was a wonderful coworker and would make a positive addition to any position."
