A little bit about me

Hi, I'm Laine Kelly and I have a big heart for kids. I love to be hands-on and gentle with my approach to working with children. I am open to working with all kinds of children and parenting styles! I value giving children the room to play and express themselves. I have a little over a year of previous childcare experience. My biggest strengths are being a good listener, organized, time efficient, and kind. Let me know if you are interested in working together :)

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Jessie and I am looking for a summer babysitting/nanny job. During the school year, I work as a special education assistant in a middle school setting. Before this, I worked as an instructional aid at an elementary school, working with grades 2 and 5. Alongside being a school assistant, I have worked for YMCA childcare for 5 years. With the YMCA, I worked as an afterschool childcare assistant, and during the summer I worked as a summer camp counselor. My time with the YMCA was spent mostly working with grades k-2. Combined I have experience in grades K-8.

Because of my experience with both in school and out of school activities, I have great proficiency in many areas. I am very good with reteaching and tutoring if this is something you are needing or are interested in. I also love to have fun and I am very creative when it comes to coming up with crafts and games! I am also willing to help with meal prep and light housekeeping.

A little bit about me

I have been a caretaker for children since I was twelve. I'm a jack of all trades and master of one: childcare is one of the few skills I have mastered. I believe that children thrive with structure and so the first day I meet them (and parents) I develop a system that works perfectly for both. I have handled children of all types ages, and attitudes.
