A little bit about me

I have several years of hands-on experience working with children of various ages, from infants to school-age kids. I truly enjoy being part of their growth and development — whether it’s helping them learn through play, supporting their creativity, or encouraging positive behavior and social skills. I’ve worked in both group and one-on-one settings, which has taught me how to balance patience, structure, and fun in every situation. I take pride in being reliable, nurturing, and attentive to each child’s individual needs while also maintaining open communication with parents. Beyond child care, I believe in being a positive role model — showing kindness, responsibility, and consistency in everything I do. Working with children has strengthened my ability to stay organized, think on my feet, and create safe, engaging environments that help them thrive.

A little bit about me

Hello my name is Bianca Lomax, I am 21 years old. I grew up in Philadelphia. My passion when it comes to caring for the youth started at a young age, I was 10 yrs old always wanting to hold a baby or play with them, and as I got older I realized I was great with kids. They loved me and I loved them, so why not work with kids as a career. I’ve worked with all kids with disabilities, to young infants, to middle schoolers you name it. If you ever need a break or a fun night out I’m your girl I pretty much never go out I like to read and relax at home I also love nature I’m an open book.
