A little bit about me

My name is Ceara, I am 18 years old I've been watching kids since my little brother was born which is in 2005. Yes I may have been young but I had my mother to aid me through it. Since then I have watched and cared for all of my younger cousins and children of family friends. I recently was a nanny for my mother's cow worker. But now she is a work from home mom due to covid, so she has the time to be a full time mommy and get work done

A little bit about me

Hello I’m a dental assistant that loves kids. I thought it would be perfect to get a side gig watching over kids and teaching them a few things as we go on. In combination I am an uncle to 11 nieces and nephews, so I’m well experienced with children.

A little bit about me

Hi, My name is Kamea , I’m 21 years old and I’ve been working with kids since I was about 16 years old. I’ve worked in 2 different daycares with many different age groups from 6 weeks to 6 years old. I truly enjoy working with and caring for children, I love that I get to be apart of their development and not only help and teach them, but also learn from them as well because every kid is different and can teach you something new.

A little bit about me

Hi parents! ✨
I’m looking for a FULL-TIME position (40 hours per week) starting in October 2020.
I’m 28, non smoker, People I’ve worked with would say I’m a responsible, loving and caring person. I consider myself outgoing, fair, organized and a really good driver. I also speak Spanish besides English.

I studied Business in my hometown (Colombia) and since 2018 I’ve been working with kids; I also had a great experience as an Aupair for 2 years, taking care of 3 kids, that taught me a lot and helped me to turn into a person I’m today, more resilient, more patient and that knows how to play it by ear in many situations.

I’ve also met some amazing mommies on this town that I’ve been helping as a babysitter and that can definitely give some references about my behavior towards children.

I’d be really excited to take of babies and toddlers to be able to speak Spanish all the time and teach them my language (but my english IS advanced as well)

My rate is $16- $20.

Thank you so much
