A little bit about me
Hi! I'm Chinedum, or Chi Chi for short. I'm a college student passionate about working with kids and positively impacting their early years.
I’ve spent the past few years babysitting my younger cousins and family friends’ children, gaining hands-on experience with kids of all ages, especially toddlers.
I’ve also had the chance to help teach and engage kids in a educational environment with fun, educational activities that support their growth and learning.
Now that I’m in college, I’m excited to take that experience and start babysitting professionally. I’m reliable and patient, and I always bring a positive, upbeat attitude. Whether helping with their routines, playing games, or aiding them, I ensure every child feels safe, heard, and cared for.
If you’re looking for someone responsible, fun, and genuinely great with kids, I’d love to chat and see how I can help your family!

A little bit about me
Hello my name is Qadira I have been taking care of children for 20 plus years specifically babies the last 10 years as a pediatric medical assistant and as a part time infant night nurse many parents tried to steal me from pediatric office I worked in the last 6 years. I have decided that I want to help more parents at home then in the doctors office I feel my pediatric medical proficiency is an asset as well as my love and dedication for children of all ages. Many parents can attest to my care and compassion for children as well as my knowledge about them and their development. I look forward to speaking with you to tell you a little more about myself and why I would be a good candidate.
