My name is Makayla and I worked full-time at Action Behavior Center providing therapy for kids with Autism while also babysitting and nannying on the side.I graduated at the University of Texas at Tyler with my Bachelors in Kinesiology and my Masters in Business Administration while playing softball. I worked at a day care for 2 years and babysit/nanny on my free time. I have a total of 10 years of experience with kids ranging from ages newborns to 10 and up. I am looking for a Full-time Nanny position!

Hello! My name is Anna and I'd love to be your weeknight and weekend sitter. I have 9 years of experience babysitting kids of all ages, from infants to teenagers. I do my best to provide a fun time when I'm with your kids while also making sure that all of your rules and routines are followed too. My disciplinary methods for younger children (toddler age to 4, 5 years old) involve distraction and explaining why something isn't allowed. I always want kids to understand why rules are in place and why they need to be followed if they ask. For older kids (6 + years old) I prefer using positive reinforcement, giving them a treat when they do well, over negative reinforcement, taking away something they already have, because I find the carrot works much better than the stick, so to speak. I am flexible in accommodating to whatever methods of discipline you use for your children while I am babysitting them. I love babysitting because it helps bring out my inner kid and play with kids and teach them what I know! Kids are very curious, and I love answering their questions about how things work. Working with kids helps me to be a more nurturing and patient person, and I love engaging with and playing with kids while I'm watching them. I'll monkey around on the playground with them, play hide and seek, Monsters, Lava, etc. because I enjoy myself and love feeling like a kid again. One of my favorite activities to do with kids is to take them to the park if it's still light outside. I find that it's very easy to have kids sucked into screen time because it provides easy distractions for them, and I prefer for kids to not have too much screen time while I'm with them. I love playing games with kids, and especially love reading to them. They love the character voices I make while reading to them! I have had pets my whole life: dogs, cats, rabbits, and chickens alike, and am happy to work with all pets. I am happy to do light housework when the kids are asleep or when there is down time. I know being a parent is hard work, so coming home to a clean house is always a nice feeling, and I'm happy to help when there is time for that.

Dear Family, I hope this message finds you well. I want to take this opportunity to share my experience and qualifications as a childcare provider. I understand that finding a reliable and trustworthy nanny can be a daunting task, and it is essential to foster a genuine connection with someone who can care for your child with compassion and understanding. With over twenty years of babysitting experience, I have had the privilege of looking after children ranging from newborns to 12 years old. My journey as a parent has enriched my understanding of the joys and challenges of caring for children. This unique perspective has instilled an unwavering commitment to the well-being and development of the children I care for. My extensive background has equipped me with the skills to organize engaging and age-appropriate activities. I am proficient in managing feeding, napping, bedtime, bathing routines, and other essential needs, including colic, bottle feeding, congestion, illness, and teething. Additionally, my experience as a pre-K teacher has further solidified my abilities in fostering a nurturing and stimulating environment. I pride myself on retaining a clean criminal and driving record and possess advanced certifications in Infant and Adult CPR and First Aid. Moreover, I am a non-smoker and have developed skills in teaching basic American Sign Language and introductory Spanish. I passionately believe that providing childcare extends beyond fulfilling basic needs; it is about cultivating an environment that promotes growth and development. I am enthusiastic about organizing educational games, arts and crafts, music activities, and outdoor play. My approach to childcare centers on kindness, respect, and empathy, ensuring that each child receives personalized care and engagement. In addition to childcare, I can handle errands, meal preparation, light housekeeping, organization, and overall household management. My educational background includes an associate's degree in business, theater, and real estate. I continue to pursue further education in early childhood development. Beyond my professional pursuits, I enjoy traveling, engaging in outdoor activities, and immersing myself in the arts. Thank you for considering my candidacy as a caregiver for your child. I can provide references upon request. Sincerely, Debbie
