A little bit about me

Hi there! I am an energetic, reliable, and patient caregiver who loves working with children and helping them grow, learn, and have fun in a safe environment. I graduated high school early in January 2026 and bring four years of hands-on experience looking out for the safety and well-being of kids.
My background includes four years of working as a lifeguard. Through this experience, I have developed strong communication skills, exceptional situational awareness, and a sharp eye for safety. I excel at keeping kids engaged and active while maintaining clear boundaries, staying calm under pressure, and serving as a dependable, positive role model.
Safety is always my top priority. I hold up-to-date certifications in First Aid and CPR, giving parents complete peace of mind when their children are in my care. I am punctual, adaptable, and excited to build a supportive, trusting relationship with a great family!

A little bit about me

I am an energetic, responsible 19-year-old with three years of professional experience caring for children of various ages. Growing up with siblings has given me a natural ability to connect with kids and handle the daily routine of a busy household. I truly love being active—whether it's planning creative projects, playing games outdoors, or reading—I ensure every day is a fun and stimulating experience. My top priorities are safety, reliability, and clear communication with parents.

A little bit about me

I’ve had the joy of caring for multiple children under the age of 10 and have worked closely with 3 to 4 families over the years. Each experience has taught me something new about patience, communication, and the unique personalities that make every child special.

My passion for caregiving stems from my own upbringing. I was raised by a strong single mother, and growing up as an only child gave me a deep appreciation for the care, attention, and love that children need to thrive. As I’ve grown older now in my late 20s I find myself naturally drawn to the joys and responsibilities of parenting, which I get to experience through caregiving.

Families often tell me they appreciate the calm, warm, and thoughtful energy I bring to their homes. Whether it’s managing bedtime routines, planning activities, or simply being a dependable presence, I find true fulfillment in helping children feel safe, happy, and supported.

A little bit about me

Hi,
My name is Namita, and I have been teaching students with autism for the last 7 years until November 1st. I worked as a nanny when I was earning my bachelor's degree, and once I completed my bachelor’s and master’s degrees, I started to teach.

Now that my kids are grown up and the house is empty, I’m looking for a change to fulfill my life, and I know that working with kids will bring that needed change.

I can work as a live-in, but I want to go home on weekends. I am vegetarian and teach cooking to adults, so I am happy to prepare meals for the kids and clean up after them. I would do this only for the kids. I will do children’s laundry too but not adults'.

I am clean, organized, and well-educated.
