A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Autumn! I’m originally from Western Pennsylvania, but have lived in Annapolis MD for the past 10 years. I am a teacher of 7 years of students from 5th-8th grade.. I’ve taught mostly art, home ec, and language arts. For the last 10 years I’ve worked at summer camps, but now I’m looking to use my skills with kiddos to allow me to explore! I am a Christian & that reflects in how I live my life. I also love coffee, running, & the color yellow. Fun fact: I can juggle & solve a Rubrik's cube. Hope to chat soon!

A little bit about me
I recently moved to Illinois from Pennsylvania. Before I moved, I was working at Magic Cottage Preschool as a pre-kindergarten teacher assistant. I am skilled at managing classroom, as well as homes. My other past work experiences include internships at a public school with certified teachers in a first and second grade classroom. I have babysat, live in nanny and did tutoring when I was a teenager. I love spending my days with children and be part of their growth. I am excellent at minimizing misbehaviors and encouraging healthy behaviors through positive reinforcement. I encourage children to learn and improve in every aspect through productive play and interactive activities such as arts, crafts, sensory play, puzzles, games, singing, dancing, playing with balls, fun projects, etc.

A little bit about me
I'd describe my personality as bubbly, creative, and warm
I like working with kids because it's so entertaining and fun to see their personalities, and it feels so good to see that you're making an impact on them
I'm looking for a job that has a close environment, prioritizes the health and happiness of the child, and clear communication and understanding
I started working with kids when I was nine after getting Red Cross certified for babysitting. I briefly worked at an after school care center, and I've worked at a summer camp for the past two years (primarily kids around age 6). I have a younger brother so I learned about developmental stages in young children growing up
In my spare time, I like to do art, learn about animals (especially sharks), learn about psychology, both in adults and children
One thing you should know about me is that I'm looking into a career as an elementary art teacher
My skills include de-escalation, finding screen-less activities, and patience

Hello all! My name is Priyanka and I’m a 19 y/0 nanny/caretaker. I have been working at a daycare for the last 5 months but unfortunately I have to leave that location because it did not fit with my school schedule. I have worked with babies all the way to adults.

A little bit about me
Hi my name is Autumn and I am currently finishing up my senior year of college!! I have 10 years of babysitting experience. As of right now I currently watch a set of 2-year-old twins one boy and one girl. I have been with them for a year at this point and absolutely love them and their family. I also have worked for a few other families long term one, and have experience in working in a day care. I have several certifications when it comes to child development that I would be willing to share with you if necesary as well as my CPR and First aid Certificate.
When I am not in school or watching the twins, I am usually coaching kickboxing or at the gym working out. I love traveling, being outside, and learning new things. Something that I am currently learning right now is Spanish but I am not fluent in it yet.
