A little bit about me

Hi my name is Ra’kyiah I have been taking care of children ever since I was 5 years old, and I have always been responsible. I have always cooked, clean, made sure the kids ate, gave them a bath, help them with school work, anything I can do to keep things smooth and organized... after taking care of all of those kids for so long you would think I would be tired of babysitting because I am now 16, but I actually want to take this thing further and make it business wise since I enjoy helping others. I’m working on getting my license and I will do my best to help you with your child. I lived in Chicago originally and then I moved to Memphis, and now I am back if you could just please help me out I need the money I will make sure your children are safe and happy. Whatever you want to do is fine by me, love Ra'kyiah Moore-

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Alyssa! I worked with kids from late middle school through out high school and then left state for college finished there and relocated here... Due to covid I’m having a hard time getting a solid part time of even full time position in the culinary industry as that’s what I studied for in college. I am now looking to nanny again as I’m a part time student online getting my bachelors degree online through Purdue Global & would love to work with kids again during this time. If would like to know more and get to know me more please reach out!
Thank you,
Alyssa C. Osinga
