39 child care near you

I have been a babysitter and nanny for over ten years. Even before that I was watching kids at my church, and shepherding younger kids to and from different activities and then over ten years ago I started babysitting a couple neighbor kids. Later, I was a nanny for twin 5 year old boys for a couple years, and babysat children in the M.O.P.S. program at my church whenever possible. Throughout college I babysat a 4 year old, and then I babysat three children, 4, 2, and 1 last fall. The last five summers I have had the opportunity to work at Camp, a residential camp affiliated with the Church. For three summers I was a small-group counselor for children grades 1-12, and one summer I was the Day Camp Director for children in grades 1-6. I have also helped with other programs such as Big Brothers Big Sisters and Safety Town. For many years I also volunteered at Camp as an aid and then as a counselor after I had previously been a camper there since Kindergarten. This camp served girls from K to 6th grade. I currently am an after-school nanny for two school aged boys, and then a morning babysitter for a 9 month old baby girl. All these various experiences have taught me how to engage, play, and entertain children, while also supervising them. I enjoy reading stories, playing games, coloring and doing crafts, cooking and baking, as well as cleaning up after a fun day.

I have been caring for children since my own childhood. As I have grown up, I have come to see children as intelligent little bundles of curiosity and potential. My favorite part of my day is when I get to show the child in my care something new. It is always a personal blessing when I hear them some time later re-explain or repeat what I had taught them. I am passionate about kids. Each one is so special and watching them grow and learn, and getting to be a part of it is why I do the job that I do. You can ask any of my past employers and they will tell you that I love kids and they love me. Should you decide to put your children under my care, I can promise that we will all come away from the experience satisfied.

I was a live in Nanny for about a year for a 13 month old and a 2 year old. I have babysat for multiple friends and family members for 8+ years of children from newborns to 10 years old.

I took care of kids, take them to the park, do art crafts at home, baking, read books, some cooking, light housekeeping (laundry, straighten rooms) just when the kids are taking a nap, personal hygiene

My parents have a 3yr old goddaughter that I have babysat since birth. I was there when she was born and was there for the fist couple of weeks. I have watched up to three kids all under the age of three. Also, my parents are take in kids when needed (7-8yr old, infint-1yr old) and I was always there to watch them when my parents had work.
