Myllene Plano
$16 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Woto but I go by my middle name Myllene. I come from a family of eight children, and as the firstborn, I developed strong caregiving skills from an early age by helping care for my younger siblings. This experience was not out of obligation, but from a genuine passion for supporting and nurturing others. Over the years, my love for working with children has continued to grow. I enjoy creating a safe, caring, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable and supported. I am patient, responsible, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. I would be honored to assist your family and provide dependable, compassionate care for your little ones.

Lauren Carrollton
$18 per hour for 1 child

I bring 5 years of hands-on childcare experience through babysitting, church nursery care, and youth volunteer work. I’m a certified lifeguard trained in CPR, First Aid, and AED, and I also teach swim lessons, which helps me stay calm, confident, and safety-focused in any situation. I’m currently working toward my B.S. in Child Development so I can continue building my career supporting children’s growth and development. Along with caring for kids, I also have a strong love for animals—especially dogs. I’m experienced with pet care, walking, feeding, and providing companionship, and I’m always happy to help families with their furry friends. I also enjoy supporting elderly individuals and have a natural patience and compassion that makes me great at offering company, help with small tasks, or just being a comforting presence. Whether I’m caring for children, pets, or older adults, I bring warmth, reliability, and genuine care into every home I’m welcomed into.
