A little bit about me

My name is Callie and I have experience at a daycare. I absolutely love and adore children. One of the reasons I went to apply at the daycare wasn't because I wanted to be around children.. but helping them learn and develop skills and talents that are hidden from the outside world. My goal is to make sure that every child has a chance at something great!

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Chera. I have been living in Fort Smith for 6 years or so. I have worked in a day care, and baby sat for many of the families from the day care. I haven’t recently been in the nanny business, but I would like to get back in to it. I am not CPR certified but I am willing to get that taken care of. I am currently a server at Bricktown brewery. If I were to find a family that would want me full time I would be willing to leave Bricktown. I am a 400 hr certified yoga teacher. I am currently going to UAFS to get my social works degree. I am a sophomore currently. I love children. They bring the child in me out! I am very loving, outgoing, patient and understanding. I have two younger brothers that I took care of a lot as a teen. I am very hardworking and would do anything to care for children.

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Faith Rizzo; I am seventeen years old and fresh out of high school. I don't have much paid babysitting experience, but I am the oldest of five children (ages 3-15) and I spent many years taking care of them on my own. I speak English, American Sign Language, and conversational Spanish. I love cleaning and prepping meals and following schedules/to-do lists, interacting with children (playing, teaching, helping, etc.); I am often regarded as quick-witted, creative, understanding, nurturing, responsible, and fun. I enjoy going places (parks, theaters, schools, museums, etc.), arts and crafts (I have a lot of supplies at home that I could bring if that's wanted), and learning about different people and their lifestyles/beliefs/cultures/norms/etc. With all that said, I would love to help out your family!
