A little bit about me

Hi my name is Cindy. I am 53 years old and have one son who is 27. I have pretty much spent my entire life taking care of children. I started when I was 16 as a baby sitter. I've been a nanny for three two families (not at the same time) lol!! I was a teachers aid, I was a daycare provider, I have done foster care. I've taught we bible school to children, and VBS. I love children and am really longing to be back around kids again as that is where I find healing for ones heart and it seems when all is NOT right in the grown up world it becomes much easier when being around children.

A little bit about me

I do not have much experience in this industry. The only times I’ve looked after children are my family member’s kids. I love working with kids because they are so fearless and enjoyable to be around.

A little bit about me

Hi I'm Nadia,

I am a mom to two kittens (almost 3 whole years !! ) & am one of 7 children in my family. I am the first girl born which quickly equated to "mom's helper" to my older brothers when it came to making lunches, and changing diapers when it came to my younger siblings. I have had many babysitting experiences, and have worked with newborn infants to 13-14 year olds. Crafts, excursions, & imaginative play are some of my favorite activities.

I used work at a Boys & Girls club as a youth development leader during summers. My class ranged from 36-45 K-1st graders (IT WAS ALOT OF YOUNGSTERS & FUN) which is the age I have had most experience with and I favor. I mean who doesn't favor those adorable toddler years when their personality is really coming out, and every word out of their mouth is pure comedy. We were a collaborative staff which meant I did get the opportunity to work with all the kids who are enrolled in the club at times. I planed activities & worked to make each day an enjoyable one for everyone.

I absolutely love working with kids, I've realized they often teach us much more about ourselves than we could ever teach them, and it's important that every interaction they have with adults, should be positive to help them grow and develop with confidence. I have a huge passion for the way our mind develops and I strive to be a behavioral neuroscientist, for me babysitting has opened my eyes to see how different every child's home life is. The experiences each child has in their home shapes them for who they become as adults. I am extremely proud to get the chance to be a part of so many lives.
