A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Taylor, and I am 19 years old. I currently live in Kentucky, but I am open and willing to relocate for a live-in position.
I have been working with children for nearly three years, with experience ranging from newborns to six years old. I strongly believe that structure and age-appropriate curriculum play an important role in a child’s development, and I enjoy helping children learn and grow through daily routines and engaging activities.
I am also happy to assist with meal preparation, light housekeeping, and other household tasks as needed. I have had my driver’s license for two years, am CPR certified, and have completed language education certifications in Spanish and Korean.
I look forward to speaking with you and learning more about your family. Thank you for your time and consideration!

A little bit about me
My name is Ismaelia Dejoie. I was born in New York raised in Haiti for 16 years. After the 2010 earthquake, I moved back to NYC where I finished high school. I then went to UVA to study Architecture. I’ve been in DC for 2 years. 1.5 months ago I was working with a Technology consulting firm called Level Access as a Customer Success Manager. Before that, I was working as a Babysitter and a Nursery-Caregiver for a couple of years. I really enjoyed it because it allowed a less stressful environment, and permitted the opportunity to have a good influence on these kids bright minds.
I speak several languages including French, Haitian Creole, Spanish and English. Just like in making art ( feel free to refer to my portfolio), I like to practice patience and good work ethic with my clients and coworkers.
I am very organized, punctual and flexible and I am always available to help in any way when my clientele needs it.
