Hi my name is Bernice and I am 25 years old. I am from San Antonio Texas but moved here because of the Army. I have been in for 7 years, but my job is currently at a clinic 4 days a week. I’m looking for a side job for occasions and weekends. I can drive and have a Toyota Corolla cross, but I have no car seats. I was a sitter for 2 families during COVID and did weekend and even baby sitting at my old duty station. My experience with these families was amazing because I got to help kids become active and enjoy being creative. I have experience with special needs children, helping with homework, and creating planning parties and hosting activities. One of my families that I baby sat weekly had 3 kids ages 2, 4, and 8. I have worked in the medical field for 7 years and have my CPR and first aid certificate that I must re-certify for every two years. Currently, I am in college and need 7 more classes to finish my bachelors degree in health sciences.

I am the proud mom of two children (one 28, and one 9). My son is with me 50% of the time, and my daughter is off doing her own thing. I miss the times when they were infants/toddlers, and because of that, this seemed like a great solution to fulfill the desire to still spend time with little ones as well as fill the void when my son isn’t home. I love to do crafts, play outside, and go on adventures (this was my son’s term for when we took trips to the zoo, beach for a day, went on a hike, etc.) I am a veteran of the USAF where I served for 5 years as a Russian linguist. I am bilingual in Russian and English, and have enjoyed teaching my son and daughter’s friends the language over the years. I am extremely patient, and have worked with children that have behavioral issues, and can deal with separation anxiety when their parents leave while the child adjusts to me. Lastly, I am incredibly respectful of parent’s rules, routines and structure. I don’t have the attitude that just because I raised and am in the process of raising my children, that “my way” is best. It also helps that I had a “helpful” (read meddling) mother in law who liked to “impart” her wisdom and knowledge for me to apply to my parenting skills. Thank you for taking the time to view my profile- I hope to hear from you soon! Best, Melissa

Hi! I’m responsible, caring, and dependable babysitter with several years of hands-on childcare experience. During college and into young adulthood, I worked as a nanny and babysitter for multiple families, caring for children of various ages. I hold both a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree, which reflects my strong sense of responsibility, organization, and commitment. I’m also very comfortable around pets both cats and dogs and happy to help with light cleaning, meal prep, and keeping things tidy while caring for your little ones. I understand the importance of trust and clear communication and always aim to give parents peace of mind while they’re away.
