A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Olivia, I am 17, almost 18 years old, and I'm looking to work with children like I used to. I'm good with children of all ages. I am a kind, caring, and understanding individual, but I can carry out any rules you may have for your children at the same time. As I am unable to drive yet, I hope you understand that I may have to bike or uber to your location. I will be sure to keep the house clean, and things put away, (I don't mind doing laundry and dishes too!) I am CPR and first-aid certified, and I will be sure to contact you, and emergency services if any emergencies were to happen. I am currently in high school, so my hours may not be as flexible after summer break is over. I look forward to working with you and your children. Thank you, and have a good day! :)

A little bit about me
Hello, my name is Sara Griffin, but I prefer Skylar Griffin. I am currently 17 years old but this August 24th, 2025, I will be 18 and I'm in 12th grade and will be graduating May 22nd of 2025. I have experience with all ages, but I prefer 4+ because I do not contain the stomach to change diapers, so I prefer they be potty trained. I grew up with 3 sisters and I am the eldest. The second Eldest in my family is 14 almost 15. I can do girls and boys. I also know how to take care of dogs and cats if needed. I can also cook most foods and clean any sort of messes; I can also handle chemicals if needed cleaned chemically. I also know how to calm panic attacks and temper tantrums. I can also discipline and be stern WITHOUT laying any hands on the kids. And I do have constant communication with the parents with a checkup every hour, questions, and anything reportable. I can also help with homework in any class and grade.

A little bit about me
My name is Antonella. I am 42 years old. When my father passed away I moved in with my mother to help her take care of things and have this time left together. I have one younger brother and sister. Growing up I was always the one taking care of my siblings while my parents worked. Homework, meals, baths, bedtime...I enjoyed doing it all. Being a mother is what I've wanted most in this world and unfortunately the stars didn't aline for me. I have many friends with children and have constantly cared and been involved since their births. I feel very comfortable around children and feel they reciprocate those feelings. I am very involved and hands on and would care for any child as if they were my own.
