Hi, I’m Shadeana ! I’m studying Early Childhood Education at the University of the District of Columbia. I’ve worked as an assistant teacher in daycare settings in DC and Maryland, and I also have experience working with school-age children in an after-school program. I’ve completed CPR, First Aid, and Basic Health and Safety training. I’m patient with kids who need a little time to warm up, and I like getting to know what each child enjoys. I’m happy to read together, play games, do crafts, or help with homework. I’ll follow your family’s routines and keep you updated on how things are going while you’re away.
I am a college student majoring in Elementary education. My work experience includes daycare teacher for the past year and a half, specifically a MD state certified Toddler teacher. Prior to work, my experience has been babysitting my families and friends’ families children! A few traits about me is that I have grown up to love teaching, and working with children. I love music, bright colors, and turtles. My dream career has always been becoming a teacher. I have always enjoyed seeing the smiles from children when they’re having fun, or excited to learn. I will always make the environment safe so all children can feel welcomed and seen.
I'm a college student, just finished with my freshman year at Florida State University, and someone who has a genuine passion for caring for kids. I am both First Aid and CPR certified, and ready to create a fun and engaging environment that supports your family's needs. I have experience babysitting for events such as weddings, working at a summer camp, volunteering as an elementary school helper, and also assisting friends and family with childcare. Whether it's creating arts and crafts, doing homework, playing fun outdoor games, or creating meals together, I am ready to help kids learn and grow. I have my own car, have experience with children of all ages and caring for pets as well. Feel free to contact me for references or to set up a call!
Hi! My name is Reyna. I am a paralegal by profession and I am fluent in both English and Spanish. My experience with childcare began through helping care for my younger siblings and children of friends and family over several years, starting with babies as small as three months. This experience taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and creating a safe and nurturing environment for children. In addition, I am very active and enjoy hands on activities and being outdoors. I do work full time during the day so my availability is mostly evenings and weekends.
“Reyna was awesome with our two boys ages 4 and 2! They got to practice their Spanish and read books together. Our kids really liked her and we look forward to working with her again.”
