A little bit about me
Hi my name’s Melissa, I am 19 years old and originally from Dallas Tx, but moved to Missouri to start college to receive a degree in nursing. Back home I would watch kids mostly aged 2-9 years old in my neighborhood when parents had work or needed a night out. I love getting the opportunity to babysit/ nanny for for parents, and can’t wait to help out in anyway necessary for you and your family!

A little bit about me
My name is Karen Lara, I am 20-year-old. I speak both Spanish and English, love to bake and sometimes cook, but with a passion for working with children. I begin volunteering with children at my church during my freshman year of high school. After completing my high school education in 2022, I decided to venture out and gain more experience in working with children. I traveled to Colorado Springs and became a counselor at a traveling summer camp, where I had the opportunity to engage with children from various backgrounds and create meaningful connections with them.After coming back I was able further my career in early childhood education. I got a position as a teacher assistant at a private preschool.My dedication and commitment were quickly recognized, and I was offered a lead position for the early preschool classroom after just a few months.

Hello! My name is Ava. I am currently a CNA/CMA, and also CPR certified. My job right now is working with geriatric residents. I’ve work with them for about five years. I enjoy working with them, but I feel like it is time for me to move on. I have experience watching kids. At the moment it is my nephews and nieces, and they mean a great deal to me. I enjoy doing things outdoors, whether that be hiking, riding horses, and going swimming.
