A little bit about me

My name is Paisley Pruett and I am almost 20 years old! I have worked as an educator for a class of 16 month olds! I am the oldest of six, I have always played the role of caregiver/babysitter since before I can remember. I am confident working with kids, and I would describe myself as patient and understanding! I also have experience in the cleaning industry as well, that being said, whatever it is that you need help with around the house, I can assure you I will try my hardest to make your life just a tad bit easier 💗

A little bit about me

I currently work full-time at an elementary school in special education, but am looking to help babysit in the evenings or weekends as needed for families. Not necessarily consistently, but for date nights or events, etc. Depending on the situation I may be open to a more consistent schedule if needed. I have worked with all ages over the last 10 years and am CPR/AED certified.

A little bit about me

Hi, I’m ciara. I haven’t had much experience nannying but when I was younger I would watch all six of my sisters and I would watch cousins. One summer I went and watched my autistic cousin every other week. I have a Lotta experience with kids especially with six sisters that are younger than me I’m currently pregnant right now and looking to find ways to make money, to prepare for this this one. I’m really caring and ready to help and watch the kids that need to be watched as their parents/ parent are working. I do have a car and license so going to the park or pool is an option I’m just ready to prepare myself and watch kids.
