A little bit about me
Greetings my name is Heaven Johnson I am 21 years old. I have one son his name is River and he is 2 months old. I love kids no matter what age they stand. I've been working with kids since I was a kid I started at the age of twelve and worked my way up. In the beginning, I wasn't getting reimbursed but when I turned eighteen I got paid. Once I started getting paid I worked with kids in a daycare center which was called love and care educational center located in Washington DC. I’ve worked with children ages 2-5 and I’ve learned a lot through out my time being there. I’ve helped with children personal hygiene also with maintaining cleanliness in the activity areas. I’ve also read to the children during reading time and also provided mental stimulation to babies and toddlers through games and activities. I also help with homework I’m very good at math.

A little bit about me
My name is Marilyn Sierra, I'm Spanish speaker but I speak English well enough to hold a conversation.
I'm 23 years old, I have a degree as speech pathologist and I consider that as a plus in my job.
I have more than 2 years of experience with children 0-10 yo. at work (I'm currently working with the family, the contract will finish in October after 2 years with them) I take care of 3 kids ( 1, 5 and 10 yo ).
Duties:
Feeding them breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks, organizing toys, kids laundry, indoors and outdoors activities, drive them to school, put the kids down for a nap, baths, etc.
I'm open to something else depending of what you would like for your kids.
I have experience teaching baby sign language and Spanish to the kids , so speaking just in Spanish to the kids could be an option as well.
I finish in October 15th
after that I'll be able to move and live close or with the family if needed.
-Payment in cash
Feel free to ask me what you need.

A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Sanjuana and I recently moved to Washington DC for college. I am currently studying to become a Nurse at Trinity Washington DC with hopes of becoming an NP in the future! Im very optimistic, open-minded and love working with kids. I began working with kids since I was in 8th grade by volunteering as a teacher assistant at my elementary school. I then went on to become a science coach for middle school kids at Duke. I find that I can learn from them just as much as they can learn from me. I hope to find a loving family who's children I can take care of as well as help them learn new skills and do fun activities with!
