A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Jaidan!
I’ve worked closely with children of all ages for the last 6 years. Really, childcare has been my only job! Although I’ve been unable to further my education in childcare, I keep up with all I-Lead educational courses that surround and positively promote the emotional, physical, and sociological development and needs of children of all ages! I’ve been First Aid and CPR trained for 4 years in the past. Although I haven’t renewed them this year or last, I am confident in my abilities to handle whatever situation might arise!
Right now I am a work-from home single mother. I have an (almost) 2 year-old boy, Sy, who would need to come along! Everything for him will be provided by me!
One value I hold closely is to always leave a place neater than when you arrived. I do light housekeeping, anything we use will be cleaned before you come home! I also can help with homework or tutor!
Your child is safe and loved when they are with me! At ALL times!!!!!!!

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Jill. I come from a long line of teachers, which naturally sparked my love for children and all things fun and playful. I truly cherish those sweet "Can you play with me?" moments. I understand how much working parents need both support and a break, and I'm here to help. My experience with children goes back to my high school days when I interned at Wanamaker Early Learning Center and New Bethel Elementary in Franklin Township. My long term goal is to have a 3rd grade classroom of my own. Whether it's caring for your little one or assisting with daily tasks, my goal is to provide comfort, joy, and dependable care. Thank you for trusting me with your bundle of joy!

I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and helping them learn and grow in a safe, nurturing environment. My hobbies—reading, cleaning, watching educational shows, and teaching children new skills—naturally align with the responsibilities of a nanny and allow me to bring creativity, patience, and structure into every day.

A little bit about me

Im 23 about to be 24. I have been helping take care of my 4 nephews and one niece. The ages range from 14 to 2. I even had a 6 year old myself. I have experience just not paid experience. I do want to find someone close to me so I can walk to you if need be. There is a car for transportation where i am living but it can be a little hard with 6 kids plus other adults needing to go places sometimes. That is why I am looking for someone close to me or someone possibly willing to help me with transportation. If willing to help with transportation I would want it taken out of my pay. I will clean any areas around the house you are wanting me to. I can help with laundry and anything else you might need help with. I personally never really did meal prep but I can learn and pick up on it really quick. Im hoping you are willing to give me a chance
