A little bit about me

Hi I’m Rylee! I am an energetic, highly dedicated caregiver who truly loves what I do. I bring 4 years of professional childcare experience working with kids aged 2 to 10. My approach is entirely hands-on, play-based, and educational. I specialize in turning everyday moments into fun learning experiences, whether through creative arts, outdoor and everyday activities. Fostering strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents is the foundation of my care. I am incredibly reliable, highly organized, and committed to providing a stable, nurturing environment. I also have hands-on experience supporting children with autism, which has deeply taught me how to be patient, adaptive, and attentive to unique sensory and behavioral needs. I would love to connect and see how I can support your family!

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Maya, a dependable and nurturing childcare provider with a background in early childhood education. I bring a calm, patient, and emotionally aware approach to caregiving, and I focus on helping children feel safe, supported, and confident. I am CDA certified as well as CPR and First-aid.

I’m comfortable with daily routines like meals, naps, and transitions, and I love incorporating creative play, art, and outdoor time. Families appreciate me for being reliable, communicative, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. I use gentle, respectful guidance to support big emotions and positive behavior.

During my free time I enjoy hiking with my boyfriend and two dogs, doing arts and crafts projects, and learning all kinds of different hobbies. I first started working with children when I was 13 volunteering at my church’s Sunday School leading Sunday activities.

I’m looking to work with a family who values consistency, trust, and open communication.

A little bit about me

Hello! I'm 20 years old and just moved here from Utah! I was nannying for a couple years and worked in a daycare for 9 months right before moving out here. I am first aide and CPR certified and can provide both documents as well as my background check. As far as my stronger traits go, I'm extremely outgoing and very patient. I am very much so a people person and I adore working with children so much! Being outdoors and doing activities are my favorite thing to do with kids, but I do enjoy some fun art and crafts projects too. On my free time I enjoy sports, movies, and hanging out with my dog.
