A little bit about me

Hello, I’m Blanca. I love children. I am a Catholic woman, and my church is Holy Rosary. I worked at a bank for many years, but I’ve grown tired of working in banking; now, I want to take care of children. I have experience: I looked after my nephew when he was very young, and I have a grown son of my own. I truly have experience with children.

A little bit about me

I’m Jordyn — a calm, intuitive, and deeply nurturing caregiver who shows up with patience, structure, and genuine warmth. I’ve worked in caregiving, DSP support, housekeeping, and childcare, so I’m comfortable balancing emotional needs, daily routines, and household flow all at once. Kids tend to connect with me quickly because I’m grounded, playful, and consistent.

I believe in creating an environment where children feel safe, seen, and encouraged to explore their own little worlds. I’m big on communication, gentle guidance, and keeping things running smoothly so parents can breathe easier. Whether it’s helping with routines, supporting big feelings, or keeping the home tidy and peaceful, I bring reliability, compassion, and a steady presence.

If you’re looking for someone who blends structure with softness, and who genuinely cares about the energy in your home, I’m a great fit.

A little bit about me

Hi! I have over 10 years of professional childcare experience, in addition to raising my own three children. I’m young enough to keep up with active little ones, yet experienced enough to provide the consistency, structure, and learning opportunities children of all ages need to thrive.

I believe in creating a safe, engaging, and supportive environment where kids feel confident and encouraged every day. I value clear communication with families and strive to be a dependable extension of your home. I am currently in the process of renewing my CPR and First Aid certifications.

I look forward to connecting with a wonderful family!

A little bit about me

I’ve been caring for kids most of my life. I started babysitting when I was 10 and continued through my teens and early adulthood, working with families who trusted me to handle everything from after-school routines to bedtime. I also worked as an AVID tutor for middle and high school students, helping them with organization, study skills, and subject-specific support.

I’m currently transitioning into becoming a high school science teacher, and childcare has always been a natural part of my personality — I’m patient, calm, reliable, and genuinely enjoy helping kids feel supported, understood, and capable. Whether it’s homework help, creative projects, or simply keeping their day running smoothly, I bring structure, warmth, and good communication to every family I work with.
