A little bit about me

Hi ! My name is Kaique but everyone calls me Ike ( my nickname ). I have good experiences with kids because I worked as a voluntary for a shelter of kids that for any specific reason were sent to the shelter because their parents could not give them the minimum of life ability, safety etc. I worked for this shelter for 2 year d . Also I work as am au pair for an American family. I take care of 3 kids ( boy-6 Yo, boy-11yo and girl-9yo). But I decided leave the program cause from here (us ) I would go to Germany to stay with my boyfriend and as an au pair I don't make a lot money or at least enough money to do it .

I like outdoors activists; art & craft; theater , museum; reading books and math and biology.

I am a calm and open minded guy . Flexible and who does not care about learning every single day . Also I like to keep everything organized and clean .

A little bit about me

I’m Daisia and I’m a fun, energetic, passionate, caring & loving individual from North Carolina . Like seriously, to know me is to love me. I recently obtained my degree in Child Development and Family Studies. I’m a runner. I’ve competed in the sport of track and field & cross country since middle school. I’ve also competed on a collegiate level while obtaining my degree. My freshman year, I made cuts as the number four runner of seven girls on the team. So with this being said, running after your little ones should be no problem at all. I have a variety of experience when we are speaking on children. I’ve been engaged in private day cares, five star development centers, community events & child care events for parenting programs & so much more. I truly enjoy being with children. Discovering their unique personalities, offering my talents and desire for fun & wonderful memories...always mindful, with respect, that I take my responsibility to you and yours very seriously. I always look forward to meeting each new family. Working with kids for so many years, I have come to understand that children come into the world with a blank slate. The experiences, environment, adults, as well as surroundings are what shape them into who they become. I feel our responsibility as a nanny, child care provider and educator is to provide children with the best possible education, knowledge, and choices so they are able to grow to their maximum potential. I believe that children should be given the ability to become independent individuals by setting limits with positive discipline, praise, and encouragement. I enjoy being surrounded by children because of their imagination, innocence, and creativity. I look forward to being the positive role model your children can reliably depend on.

A little bit about me

I have a dual degree from North Carolina Central University. I have an extensive background in childcare. I have experience working with children 6 weeks-18 years old. My specialty and preference is caring for Infants. I have a great love for infants because they are so pure and require continuous attention. I love seeing them grow and develop right before my eyes. I have two children of my own, a 9 year old and a 3 year old. I have only nannied once, for 7 months, for a one year old. It was a great experience. We loved taking stroller rides to the park, doing arts and crafts, and especially snuggle time. I hope that I get the opportunity to nanny for your precious bundle of joy.
