cameo $20 per hour for 1 child

My name is Cameo, and I am a devoted caregiver with extensive experience caring for children and pets. I have three children aged 3 to 11 years, which has deepened my understanding of child development and the importance of a nurturing environment. Additionally, I helped raise my little sister from the age of 16, further enhancing my caregiving skills. I genuinely love working with children and animals, fostering a compassionate and engaging atmosphere for everyone in my care. I prioritize creating a safe and fun environment while promoting growth and learning. I am looking for clients who would also be open to me bringing my 3-year-old with me to jobs, as I believe in fostering strong family bonds and can provide care that accommodates my child’s needs. I am patient, nurturing, and dedicated to making every caregiving experience enriching for the little ones and pets I look after.

Hey y’all Parents of little People!

Manning children’s events at trade shows, and company picnics throughout Georgia, California and Washington.  Great at multi tasking, story time, outdoor activities and helping little people to see their world and themselves in imaginative and creative way. I used to be a helicopter parent, that 3rd one at 35 slowed my roll!! Now I just love to see the babes that belong to someone else!
