A little bit about me

I just graduated highschool this last June, looking forward to going to CPTS to start my Surgical tech journey!
I do have plenty of siblings & younger cousins that I’ve helped taken care for, as well as had jobs where I’d care for kids. I used to be a swim teacher for about 6 months, was actually one of my most favorite jobs but I had to quit because I didn’t like what the chlorine would do to my hair. I love to do lots of arts and crafts, and I don’t mind helping around the house:)!

A little bit about me

I have currently been working in fast food, trying too get out of that industry and dip my foot into something new. I’m great with kids, I have been watching my siblings for years and well as nieces/nephews. I like too go on adventures help kids learn, as a child I wanted too be a teacher but that soon changed. I’m very dependable and a great listener. Anything you want done I will do and that’s a guarantee. I will always show your kids and you the upmost respect and care. I have never been in trouble and don’t plan too. I am a 20 year old female doing schooling but plan too stay on this path for a while. Thank you ! :)

A little bit about me

I have been working in childcare ever since I was young. From baby sitting positions starting in middle school, and even earlier when helping my mom with my special needs little brother. Since then I have had 7 years of experience working for daycares and nannying for families.

I love to spend time outside every day, and being from Montana, I am used to dealing with a large variety of weather. I don't let a little bit of cold or rain stop us from having fun. I also love buckling kids up and taking them to activities, whether that be lessons and practice, or fun outside the house; like the library, swimming, or whatever else the area has to offer.

My current nanny family is moving away in the summer, but I'm excited for the opportunity to help more families! Thank you for your time, and for considering me for the position!

A little bit about me

As a childcare provider with over 13 years of experience, I'm passionate about nurturing children's growth and development. My previous babysitting roles have been incredibly rewarding, and I'm thrilled to continue making a positive impact on young lives.

I pride myself on being patient, calm, and creative. I understand the importance of communication with parents and will happily adopt your preferred method, whether it's verbal communication at pickup, regular text updates, or phone calls.

I'm very comfortable enforcing household rules and ensuring a safe and structured environment for your child. When it comes to playtime, I love engaging in outdoor sports, board games, puzzles, and educational games that make learning fun.

With some college education under my belt, I'm comfortable caring for one child at a time and am happy to assist with cooking, meal preparation, carpooling, light housekeeping, and supervising swimming activities.
