Hello Host Family, Nice to see you. My nickname is Pia. I am a Kind, Calm, Patient person. I just graduated from Nursing program and now I just passed NCLEX exam. I like to travel and reading when I have a free-time. And I also like to do out door activities. I have been taken care of a lot of children age about 4 month to 12 years old. And I also took care of the twin boys. I can help to prepare meal for the kids, I can cook easy food like Spaghetti, Curry, Macaroni and cheese, and I can help to do light Households.When I take care of the kids, I like to take the kids to play at the park or do activities outside. Because they can learn a lot of things and get fresh air. When I stay home with them, I like to play puzzles, Play-doh, drawing, reading with them. I like to take care of the children because I like to spend time with the kids, have fun together and I can learn new things from them as well. So I hope you will give me opportunities and I will do my best. If you need some references from my host family, I feel free to give their references and their number to you. Thank you very much.

My name is Jaida, I am 20 years old, and I am current employed part-time at Sneaker Flavorz in the Empire Mall. I am not currently CPR certified but am willing to re-certify. I have been a babysitter since I was 13-14 and have 3 years of CNA and customer service experience. I love to be outside, especially in the summer, so i’d love to take your kiddos with me to have some fun! :)

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
