I have been working in childcare centers for 3 years now. I am currently studying early childhood education at UAB! I love working with children of all ages. I have experience in ages birth through 10 years of age. I also have experience in tutoring and helping with homework. My priority is to make sure every child feels loved and cared for! I don’t mind doing any household work while babysitting as well. I have experience as well with pets and pet sitting. I have a multitude of pets myself including a dog, cat, turtles, guinea pigs, a hamster and a few more. I have a love for all animals!
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.
Hi my name is Sadie! I am 18 and in college currently. I love working with kids and also animals. Some experience that I have had include, running birthday parties for kids aged 4-12 yrs old at my old job, babysitting my younger sister as she has grown up, and volunteering at a summer camp for kids with special needs. Some experience with animals include, working at a doggy daycare and also growing up with four cats. I have also taken a CPR course before taking a life guarding course. I quite enjoy spending time with kids and helping out parents in any way! I can also cook and clean. I would say I am quite attentive and caring!
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.”
