A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Ariana, and I’m a bubbly, responsible, and energetic person who truly loves spending time with kids. I come from a big family and have three younger siblings all under the age of six, so I’ve had plenty of hands on experience with toddlers and little ones. Whether it’s changing diapers, preparing meals, playing games, or helping with nap time, I’m confident and comfortable handling it all! In addition to my experience at home, I also volunteer regularly with my church’s youth group. Through this, I’ve had the opportunity to lead fun and engaging activities for children of different ages, help create a positive and supportive environment, and build meaningful connections with the kids in my community. I love coming up with creative games, storytime ideas, or fun little projects that keep kids engaged and happy. I’d love the opportunity to bring that same energy and care to your family!

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Olamide! I’m currently a student as San Diego State University! I am studying public health in hopes to go to nursing school and pursue a degree as a pediatric nurse practitioner. Ever since I can remember, I’ve loved taking care of babies. It was what I was known for even as a child myself. I officially started getting payed for babysitting 6/7 years ago. I started off with family and got referred from there. I always get great reviews! I pride myself in having a great deal of patience and I’m an expert in cleaning and am always ready to offer my cleaning services as well! I’m pretty flexible and have been told I’m a people’s person! I would love to get more experience working with kids!

A little bit about me

Hi my name is Ana Maria and I am 24 years old. I am currently a certified health plan specialist who works with seniors. However, I have come to realize that what I am truly passionate about is working with kids and being their point of access when arriving to a clinic/ hospital. Therefore, I have decided that I want to go back to school to obtain my associates degree as a medical assistant. I have a very successful background as I started at an early age as a babysitter/ Home Maintenance, following as a baker, store manager, and currently a certified health plan specialist. Over time I have worked with a diversity of people and I can truly say that I find space everywhere I go. I enjoy helping people and being able to assist in the best of by ability.
