Michel $12 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Michel, but everyone calls me Kells. For the past two years, I’ve had the privilege of serving as a Co-Junior Church Leader, where I’ve worked closely with children of all ages. This role has helped me develop strong leadership, communication, and teamwork skills while teaching me the importance of patience, encouragement, and creating a safe, positive environment for kids to learn and grow. Working with children on a regular basis has given me valuable experience handling different personalities, resolving conflicts calmly, and being someone they can trust and look up to. In addition to my church experience, I’ve also spent many years helping care for my disabled grandmother. Being one of her caregivers has taught me responsibility, compassion, reliability, and the importance of putting others’ needs first. It has required patience, attention to detail, and a willingness to help with daily tasks while ensuring she was cared for with dignity and respect. These experiences have shaped me into a dependable, caring, and hardworking person. I enjoy helping others, work well with people of all ages, and always strive to bring a positive attitude wherever I go. Whether I’m working with children, supporting those who need extra care, or contributing as part of a team, I take pride in being someone others can rely on.

Aleah $13 per hour for 1 child

I’m a compassionate, dependable, and CPR/First Aid-certified caregiver with years of experience caring for children, seniors, and individuals with special needs. As a mother of three (ages 20, 17, and 7), I understand the importance of patience, safety, and creating a loving environment where everyone feels comfortable and supported. Since age 10, I’ve worked with infants through preschoolers through my church, and since 2013, I’ve built a career in social services. I currently work with youth ages 0–21 at Pressley Ridge, supporting those with behavioral health needs. I also have experience assisting individuals with developmental disabilities, providing senior home care, and supporting residents in independent living facilities. I’m caring, trustworthy, attentive, and adaptable. Whether it’s childcare, companionship, household help, or supporting daily routines, I bring compassion and a helping heart to everything I do. I’m also a proud pet parent to a dog and two cats, and I’m happy to help with pets, too! My goal is to give every family peace of mind by treating your loved ones like my own—with kindness, respect, and genuine care.
