A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Mika. I've been babysitting for as long as I can remember. In 2021, I started an internship at an infant and toddler center. I began working there a few months later. I specialize in infants (3 months - 12months). I have also taught 12 months up to 3 years old. I am CPR and first aid certified. I have 12 ECE (early childhood education) units which include my infant and toddler units. I would like to switch to nannying because I believe it is safer and more developmentally friendly environment for infants and toddlers. I genuinely enjoy doing house chores and I am also a pet lover!

A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Tina and I have substantial experience being around children. I have little cousins and nieces and nephews, and I have taken care of all of them at some point in their lives. My experience ranges from as little as 3 months old to as old as 13 years old. I love kids and hope to impart a positive experience on their growing up. I hope you can choose and trust me with your little ones with great faith. I grew up playing instruments in a school orchestra, and have many hobbies to date. I can cook, bake, sew, and play the ukulele. I pick up hobbies quickly, and am always in the mood to play. However, I can be serious when I need to be, so that is not a problem. I hope to collaborate well with the parents in raising your kids to be excellent humans. If that sounds of interest to you, please message me and we can talk! Cheers.
