A little bit about me
I have over seven years of experience working with children. During my time in Colorado, I had the opportunity to babysit for a wonderful family, caring for their two daughters and one son for two years prior to relocating for college. While in their care, I facilitated a variety of activities, including games, cooking, outdoor adventures, and more. In addition, I provided consistent childcare for my two younger sisters, now aged 14 and 10, throughout middle and high school. I am currently pursuing a degree in theater and have spent four years teaching acting workshops to children, further enhancing my ability to engage and educate young minds through creative expression.

A little bit about me
Hi, my name is Grace and I am currently a 22 year old in grad school for Occupational Therapy at St. Louis University. I have had over 11 years working with children of all ages and abilities and still keep in touch with almost all of them.
I have found that children thrive off structure and fun. I’m a big advocate for limiting (or fully eliminating technology) and planning out magical days filled with crafts, science, and outdoor time. I grew up playing sports in a super athletic family and I believe fostering learning through nature, play and creativity allows children to believe they are limitless and can become whoever they want to be. I also believe in organization and tidiness.
My families have always appreciated how clean I keep the house and I am always happy to help out with chores and help model/foster an environment where your kiddos feel excited to do the same. I am so excited to potentially hear more about your family!

A little bit about me
My name is Cathy, a 24 years old girl from Montreal/Canada.
If someone asked my friends to describe me, I think they would say that I'm a very cheerful and friendly girl. I am always there to help others no matter what they need help for. I don't count the time spent helping people. I do it because I love it; because it makes me happy. My imagination is another thing that I use a lot. Whether your kid is a girl or a boy, a toddler or a teen, I will find a way to amuse them. It's the kind of challenge that I like to be put up to. The last thing that my friends would say about me is that I'm very patient in every aspect of my life.

A little bit about me
Hi! I am a 20-year-old college student at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa. I am from Washington State, where I worked with children for the last three years before transferring schools this previous fall. I have cared for children from 6 months to thirteen years old. I have worked as a preschool/ daycare teacher and had all the responsibilities this position included from changing diapers, feeding infants, creating educational projects for students, making snacks..etc. Prior to transferring to UHM, I was a full-time nanny to two boys, eight and three years old. I spent most days with the three-year-old taking him to various places for educational purposes, cooking a variety of meals for him, as well helping him to become potty trained. The three-year-old had a form of autism and I am more than comfortable working with special education children. With the eight-year-old, I assisted with homework, made meals, and was responsible for school drop-off and pick-up at his school.
