Hello Families! My name is Gina, I’m an experienced and nurturing caregiver. I am truly passionate about early development and always look for fun and engaging ways to connect with the children in my care. With safety as my main priority, I’m a hands on caregiver ! I love to get down and play, read, sing 🎶, dance or paint. I’m always available to facilitate and inspire fun! My goal when I’m caring for children is that they feel safe, heard and loved. My experience ranges from group care, newborn, overnight newborn care, live-in, infant/ toddler and mixed age siblings. I just updated my CPR/First Aid and I have updated vaccines, so I look forward to supporting all of your care and coverage needs. Sincerely, Ms Gina-Weena ☺️

Hi!! It’s so nice to meet you. My name is Ludi though everyone calls me Ela. I am currently in my last year of college at Howard University where I am studying Radiation Therapy. I would describe myself as kind, reliable, responsible and energetic which makes taking care of children a responsibility I greatly enjoy. I was born in Eritrea and grew up in Seattle where I enjoyed hiking, going on walks, and visiting some amazing bookshops and cafes. I first starting helping care for children when my sister was born. While I can’t believe that she is nine now (!!!), I have enjoyed helping take care of her since she was born. Since my mother was a contract worker and my father worked doubles, taking care of her was a responsibility I took very seriously and found to be beyond rewarding. The skills and patience I gained when helping her learn to read or understand her frustrations when she couldn’t verbalize them are ones I use now as I study patient care. Since taking care of her, I have been trusted with the care of children of all ages and varying needs. I personally enjoy reading together, going on walks, working through homework, playing games, cooking, and making origami animals with kids. I am very health conscious and have received both Covid shots as well as three boosters along with my yearly flu shot. It is important to me that I develop long lasting, and meaningful connections with families I can provide services to. I can’t wait to meet you!!

I am in my final year of teacher training, and as I look back on my journey so far, I realize how much working with kids has shaped who I am. Over the past year, I’ve had the opportunity to teach in both elementary and high school, and it has been amazing to watch students grow, learn, and gain confidence in themselves. For eight years, I have also babysat for several families, caring for children ages 2 to 12, which taught me how important it is to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment where kids feel comfortable being themselves. My involvement in scouting has been another huge part of my life—over the past ten years, I’ve worked with kids from 6 to 18, guiding them through challenges, adventures, and leadership opportunities. I even spent time in Colorado working at the YMCA, leading outdoor lessons for kids ages 8 to 16, which combined two things I love most: teaching and being outside. Across all of these experiences, one thing has become clear—I am most fulfilled when I’m working with kids. Being outdoors, learning alongside them, and helping them discover their strengths makes me feel like I am truly following my passion in life.

I am a 49-year-old bilingual Spanish-English mother and a legal permanent resident. I hold university degrees from both the United States and abroad, and I bring a fun, calm, and responsible approach to working with children. I have raised three children, now aged 15, 27, and 29. I began babysitting well before becoming a parent, when I cared for my cousin’s baby from six months old for nearly a year while my cousin was undergoing intensive medical treatment. For the past two years, I have cared for toddlers and children through word of mouth, and I am now registering with this platform. I enjoy reading to children, discovering music together, and spending time at the park. I take cues from children and adapt to their interests and play. I am calm and resourceful in emergencies or unexpected situations and use good judgment. In addition to childcare, I also offer: - Driving children and seniors to and from appointments, activities, and errands - Meal preparation - Pet sitting for dogs and cats

I have over 20 yrs of experience working with infants,newborn and toddlers. I love being a baby sitter watching infants newborn and toddlers. I have also been a caretaker watching my aunt and uncle. And I can cook and clean.
