Taylor Birmingham
$17 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am Taylor and I am 34 years old. I am originally from Montevallo, AL area and recently moved back to Birmingham. I fell in love with childcare about 16 years ago when I worked in a daycare and since then have been a nanny, worked as a substitute for k-12 and worked in the nursery at my church. I am currently employed at a local preschool and work with children aged 6 weeks to 6 years. My passion is working with infants and toddlers but I also have experience with older kids as well. I am applying through Care. com to hopefully pick up more work because I am saving up money so that I can go back to school.

Irondale
$16 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Callee, and I have a deep passion for caregiving that has developed over the years through various experiences. I’ve worked closely with infants, newborns, and NICU babies, and I understand the special care and attention they need, particularly in those early, delicate stages. Alongside my experience with infants, I’ve had the privilege of supporting children with special needs, toddlers, and elementary-age children, tailoring my care to meet their unique requirements and ensuring they feel supported and understood. Additionally, I have extensive experience working with elderly individuals, particularly those living with dementia. Patience, empathy, and consistency are key traits I bring to these roles, helping create a safe and comforting environment for those in my care. My personality is rooted in compassion, patience, and a strong sense of responsibility. I genuinely love building connections with the families I work with and making sure their loved ones receive the best care possible. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and your family! Thank you, Callee Cross

Callee is such a sweet, my kids love her, she is definitely like a family member, she always makes sure to feed, dress them ,and keeps them busy with her craft activities. Both of my children are bilingual and she has caught up with a few words too, so thats a plus ❤️ We definitely recommend Callee.
