A little bit about me

Hello ! My name is Rachael. I am 27, and I am currently in school studying social work (BSW). I was a nanny for a few years before doing CNA work, and eventually landing an incredibly rewarding job in residential foster care, where I’ve been at for the last ~5 years. I still have a while before I graduate (3-4 years), and would love to be a stable caregiver for your kiddos! I know how important it is to make sure your children are in good hands, and I would love to be that person for a great family!

A little bit about me

My name is Calise Eatman and I never saw myself caring for children that is until my 14 years of being the only child came to an end. My sister enter my life and I found a love for kids and being apart of their growth and development. It wasn't until my freshman year of high school that I was in need of work. I began watching my mom's friends kids. 2 boys and they were a hand full but we had fun times and I realized that I'm really good with kids. My most recent Nanny job was my favorite, I was able to Nanny a child whose parents I was pretty close to but it was for a few month it was for a couple of years. I had the opportunity to see her go from 11 months to 4 years old this past year. With Covid and her not being able to go to school the parents needed some kind of schooling so I was able to create lesson plans, have craft time and really come up with a in home school schedule. I say all to say I've been stretched in my Nanny duties but for the kids it's really all worth the work.
