Hi there! My name is Lana, and I’m currently pursuing my Master’s in Middle Grades Education with a focus on science. I’ve always loved working with children, and I have experience caring for kids from 3 months old up through middle schoolers. I worked in a daycare setting where I gained hands-on experience with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, and I’ve also taught and led activities for older kids through camps and school programs. Services I Offer: Child care, tutoring, homework help, meal prep, light cleaning, and pet care if needed. Child Care Experience: I’ve worked with infants as young as 3 months, helping with bottle feedings, diaper changes, nap schedules, and early developmental play. For toddlers and older children, I love planning engaging activities like arts and crafts, story time, outdoor games, and hands-on learning projects. My background in education helps me connect play with learning in fun ways that keep kids curious and happy. Special Skills: Tutoring (especially science and reading), classroom management, and creating enriching activities for all ages. I’m also skilled in meal prep and can adapt to any child’s routine or needs. Certifications/Training: I’m trained in child development and classroom management through my education program, and I’ve completed coursework in inclusive and special education practices. I also maintain current CPR and First Aid certifications. Pet Care: I’m comfortable caring for all kinds of pets — I have a beagle, 2 cats, and a bearded dragon myself! I’m used to animals that shed, and I can handle feeding, walking, and playtime with no problem.

Hi, my name is Madinah W. I’m from Oakland, California and currently attend Tuskegee U. where I study Animal Science with plans to become a veterinarian. Coming from a large family, I started caring for children at age 10 and have consistently supported younger siblings and cousins with whatever they need. I naturally enjoy creating nurturing, structured environments—whether that means reading, meal times, play, or nap schedules. I’m a very caring, dependable, and attentive person who prioritizes the well-being and comfort of those around me. I also have strong experience caring for pets as a dog mom of two, giving me skills in responsibility, patience, and understanding animal care needs. Additionally, I’m organized, reliable, and able to assist with household services, like errands being ran to help out around the house. Overall, I bring compassion, maturity, and genuine dedication to caregiving.
