A little bit about me
Hello! I have worked in childcare since I was 16 until 22 with the same center. I have been a stay at home mom for a little over two years now. Now that my little girl is getting older I have found a daycare that works great with her & am ready to get back to work! I have worked with kids from newborn up to high schoolers. I graduated high school in 2019, graduated massage therapy school in 2020 worked as a massage therapist while working at the child care center for 2 years as well. I am a clean person & if I’m not busy doing something you would see me cleaning, I’m very genuine & kind. Always willing to learn & always do what is asked of me. I look forward to hearing from you!

A little bit about me
Hey there! I am a single mama who moved to Lexington about a year ago. My daughter is currently 18 months old. I’ve been caring for children since I was in high school and now have one of my own. I also have experience with special needs children. Specifically Down’s syndrome (non verbal) and autism. I’ve always loved being around babies/kids of any age. I’m now 28 and would love to open my heart to a new family. I can also help with transportation to and from activities, meal preparation, cleaning, and anything else that would enrich your families life. I am currently enrolled in cpr training and will be certified before I start with your family. Don’t hesitate to reach out I can’t wait to meet you and your little ones!

A little bit about me
Hi my name is Emma. I am about to be a sophomore at the University of Kentucky. I have two younger brothers who are 8 and 10 years of age who I have practically raised since they’ve been born. I also babysit from time to time for family friends and neighbors. Last year I was the nanny for a family with 6 kids ranging from ages 2-16. I even went on vacations and weekend trips with them to allow the parents some free time on their trips. I love kids and pets and enjoy cleaning and cooking. I also am academically very smart as I had a 3.6 GPA at the end of this past year of studying civil engineering. This means that I am also very capable of helping school age kids with school work if necessary. I will be attending UK for the next 3 years so I am hoping to find a family I can help out for these next few years. I am in the honors college at UK and majoring in civil engineering. I love getting to meet new people and become acclimated into their lifestyle and family.
