Hi my name is Jessica, I am 26 years old, I am applying to graduate school to become a speech therapist. I can speak a fair amount of ASL as I have taken ASL 1, 2, and 3 in college. I love animals of all kinds, I love working with kids, and I have a lot of experience working with kids as well. I have experience working with kids with autism, Down syndrome, and cerebral palsy. I volunteer at my church with kindergarten to 5th grade kids, I was a gymnastics coach at Browns gymnastics and Ace gymnastics for a year, I volunteered at freedom ride, I babysit for a few families, I was a nanny for a boy with a disability, I also was a nanny for a 3-year-old girl, I was an ASL teacher for children 6 weeks to 5 years old, I have experience as a registered behavior technician, and I am currently a speech therapist assistant. I am great with kids and they tend to love having me watch them. I am also CPR and first aid trained. I hope to hear back from you. Thank you for your consideration.
I’m a warm, dependable, and experienced caregiver with a lifelong passion for working with children and supporting families. I grew up on Long Island, New York, with my parents and brother, and from a young age I was very active in dance, gymnastics, skiing, ice skating, and soccer, which I continued through college. Staying active and enjoying the outdoors are still a big part of my life today. For the past 24+ years, I’ve been a devoted stay-at-home mother raising three children while also volunteering at school, coaching soccer, and assisting with other youth sports. We currently have two boys in college and an 11th-grade daughter attending Bishop Moore Catholic High School. I’ve been happily married for 27 years and truly value family, health, nutrition, sports, swimming, outdoor adventures, and creating a positive home environment. My childcare experience began around age 10 as a mother’s helper, and I worked closely with several families from ages 18–30. Caring for children has always come naturally to me, and I genuinely love spending time with little ones. I’m positive, easygoing, patient, consistent, and enjoy laughing, playing, crafting, baking, reading, and making everyday moments fun and engaging for kids. I also have personal experience parenting a high-functioning autistic son, now 24, which has given me added patience, understanding, flexibility, and compassion when supporting children with different personalities and needs. While I’m not overly focused on technology, I appreciate the ways it can be useful and prefer building real, meaningful connections with children and families. My goal is always to provide a safe, nurturing, active, and dependable environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and cared for.
Hello everyone! my name is Genesis and I'm 32 years old. I have lived in the United Estates for three years and I have worked for five years as a babysitter. I also have 4 wonderful nephews and I took care of them since they were babies. I am a kind and sweet person. I love music, yoga and being in nature. I am currently doing my CPR and first aid certification and also I have medical background because I have a bachelor’s degree in Histotechnology ( I graduated in my home country) so I have an strong sense of responsibility and safety. Working with children is a very rewarding job for me because I have an opportunity to be creative and joyful. I like to have a good communication with the parents and I always follow the rules of the house. I'm currently improving my English, but I'm putting all my effort :) feel free to contact me with any question. thank you!!!
Bio: Hello! My name is Olivia, and I am passionate about caring for children and pets alike. With over 5 years of experience as an assistant preschool teacher, I have developed a deep understanding of child development and the importance of nurturing a safe and engaging environment for little ones. I’ve also been babysitting since I was 12, allowing me to build strong, trusting relationships with families. In addition to my childcare experience, I have been a dedicated pet sitter for the past 3 years. Having grown up with pets, I understand their needs and behaviors, ensuring they receive the love and care they deserve while their owners are away. Whether it’s caring for children or furry friends, I am committed to providing a reliable and compassionate service. I look forward to meeting your family and ensuring your loved ones are in great hands!
“Olivia has worked with children for many years starting in middle school. She participated in the big buddy school program, volunteered in church nurseries and Sunday schools, babysat many families over the years, was a camp counselor, and all her high school jobs were working with children. Kids love her enthusiasm and passion. She is well trained and a lot of fun.”
Hi! I’m Kamilla (this is my middle name). I’m originally from Brazil and moved to the U.S. with my family in November 2024. I worked as a registered nurse in Brazil and plan to validate my nursing license in the U.S. in the long term. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Nursing and a postgraduate degree in Neonatal Nursing, with over 15 years of experience in neonatal intensive care. I also serve in the children’s ministry at my church (With babies from 0 to 2 years old) for over a year, at least two Sundays per month, and I take paid weekday shifts there as well. I have a lot of experience caring for newborns, infants, and young children, including premature babies and newborns with special medical needs. I’m also a mom of two boys (ages 7 and 13), and I truly enjoy caring for children of all ages. I like spending time with kids through reading, playtime, outdoor walks, and calm activities that support their development. I always focus on creating a safe, loving, and relaxed environment. Thanks to my nursing background, I’m calm and confident in emergency situations and able to provide first aid or follow specific care instructions when needed. I’m reliable, organized, have a clean background check, a valid driver’s license, and my own car. I’d be happy to care for your child and support your family with warmth, responsibility, and professionalism.
“Luanna was great. Very punctual, professional, and excellent with kids.”
