A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Joanna, and I’m 16 years old. I have work experience caring for children between the ages of 4 and 13. I truly enjoy spending time with kids—whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, or keeping routines on track. I’m responsible, patient, and always make safety and comfort a priority. I speak English fluently and am nearly fluent in Cantonese, which helps me connect with families from different backgrounds. While I’m not currently CPR or first aid certified, I’m always excited to learn and grow in the child care field. I see every opportunity as a chance to gain experience and support families in a meaningful way!

A little bit about me

Dear family,
My name is Meylin, I'm 29 years old. I'm from Indonesia currently living in the US.
I graduated from college majoring in hospitality. I am a helpful, friendly, and love children. When it comes to child care experience, it started when I was in high school. I used to help Sunday school teachers to teach kids dancing and singing for Christmas. I have helped my parents to look after my little brother since birth.

I can cook a little, I have no problem if you want me to help you with doing some housework and tidying for children's toys. I have driving license in Indonesia and would get another driving license here soon if one day you want me to take your children to school or somewhere else. I would be happy to have the opportunity to speak with you, to answer every question you may have about me, to learn more about your family, and to know more about what you expect from me.

I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,
Meylin
