A little bit about me
When I wasn’t younger , I wold babysit my baby cousins and loved it ! I was the eldest of them all and having a large family with many babies meant I had to be the babysitter but I kept them entertained and never got tired of being with them . I liked babysitting so much that in middle school, I volunteered with the YMCA as a teacher assistant and all my little students became my besties whom I couldn’t wait to see everyday for work . I feel kids need genuine and specific care at all times because they are constantly learning and growing . From previous experience I can say I am great at taking specific instructions, and am also good at taking the initiative and make best decisions during any situation with any child. This isn’t a job this is a passion and an important task. I have beauty school from Monday to Friday from 9AM to 3PM , and am free other than those hours. I hope to see your lovely faces soon 🌞💖

A little bit about me
Hello! I’m a Benedictine graduate fluent in English and Spanish, currently learning Assyrian. I’m looking to babysit for more flexibility to pursue my passions. I have experience caring for three kids—a baby and two in grade school—for a non-related family, plus I grew up in a large family with 14 nieces and nephews. In my family, I am known as the babysitter!
From 2019 to 2022, I nannied two of my nieces while following my sister's preferences, like no TV and specific routines. I enjoy being creative, especially drawing, and I love fostering a positive, fun environment for kids. I also use a Montessori approach to support their individual development.
I’m transitioning from a dental administrative career, and babysitting will allow me to focus on my creative goals. I’m excited about the opportunity to work with your kids!

A little bit about me
Hi! I have experience nannying in private homes, household management and working in daycares/youth centers caring for children ages 6 months-17 years old.
I enjoy arts & crafts, dancing, laughing, teaching, playing sports, providing meals, engaging in all activities and tidying up afterwards.
As a nanny my duties have included playing, feeding, bathing/changing, pick up/drop off, trips to the park/library/zoo/museums, as well as some light household tasks.
My goal is to be the best mentor and give parents peace of mind that their children are happy, learning and loved in a safe environment.
Outside of work I enjoy spending quality time with family and friends as well as dancing and traveling. Comfortable with pets as well.
Happy to answer any questions!

A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Bailey, and I'm a 26-year-old experienced grade school teacher with four years of teaching experience. My Master’s degree in teaching and classroom experience means that I have unique insight into developmental milestones and classroom readiness tools, as well as my CPR certification and exceptional preparedness in case of an emergency. Right after high school I worked as a CNA, so I have a minor background in healthcare as well.
In addition to my work in the classroom, I have a passion for caring for children of all ages, including toddlers as young as 1.5 years old, which I have mainly cared for in the summers between school years. In addition to looking after children, I'm also open to assisting with cleaning duties and meal prep, and I'm a great cook with excellent multitasking skills! I would love to bring my nurturing, educational approach to childcare while ensuring a safe, fun, and learning-filled environment for your little one!
