A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Ayasheia, and I am a caring, responsible, and hardworking person who enjoys helping others. I have always loved being around children and have experience caring for my nieces, nephews, and younger family members. I enjoy creating fun activities, making kids feel comfortable, and being someone they can trust.

I am currently studying to become a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), which has helped me develop patience, communication skills, and a strong sense of responsibility. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, being creative, and learning new things. My favorite animal is a cat, my favorite color is pink, and my favorite food is tacos. I’m excited to meet new families and provide safe, caring, and dependable childcare.

A little bit about me

My name is Jatavia Perkins, and I’m a 16-year-old high school student who has a passion for caring for children. I started babysitting at 10 years old, so I have several years of experience with kids of different ages. Being an only child has taught me to be very independent and responsible, which I bring into every babysitting job. I enjoy making sure children feel safe, happy, and supported—whether that’s through play, helping with homework, preparing meals, or bedtime routines. Families can count on me to be patient, reliable, and caring.
