A little bit about me
Hello my name is JaKyra Whaley I am 19 years old and I grew up in the DMV area. I graduated from Stephen Decatur High school class of 23 after high school Ive spent my summer working at a kids go kart track and also volunteering at my local recreation center when they had food and clothing drives. My experience is in relationships I’ve built with the children at the recreation center over my time volunteering, Also helping kids deal with issues that they faced at school . I’ve had teachers that cared for me so much when I was younger that I still remember them to this day. Mrs.Bullock was the best teacher I ever had she was interesting and kept learning engaging and I would like to provide that for future generations so one day a kid can write about me and hopefully get the same fun experience as I did!

A little bit about me
Hi, my name is Kaxoriyah. I’m a caring, reliable, and enthusiastic college student at Howard University with a strong passion for working with children. I began babysitting in high school, caring for infants and older children for families in my school community, as well as family and friends. I also volunteered with the Boys & Girls Club, where I enjoyed creating a fun, safe, and positive environment for kids.
I’m patient, responsible, nurturing, and a natural leader.
I’m seeking a childcare position that supports my growth while allowing me to support a family. I value responsibility, accountability, and time management. I’m open to communication, can assist on short notice, provide references, and am willing to obtain CPR and First Aid certification. My skills include patience, communication, and empathy. Also I’m sorry to inform I do not drive, but I do plan on uber or public transportation.

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Ali, I'm 23 years old, from Utah, and am graduating with my Bachelor of Science in Communication Disorders this December (2024). I come from a family of 7 (5 kids) and grew up babysitting my own siblings and many families in my community.
I love being with kids and can't wait to have a family of my own someday:)
I have also always loved working with individuals who have special needs, and have taken many opportunities over the past 8 years to volunteer in the special needs community, which has provided me with many wonderful and life-changing experiences.
