Kim $16 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I am Kimberly. I just received my Associate Degree in Early Childhood Learning. I will be soon working to get my Bachelors next. I am a devoted mother of 6 children and a wife. I have experience working with children from newborn to school age. With me having children from 3-14 years old, I am experienced with dealing with different personalities as well. I know it takes time and patience with dealing with children. I also know that you have to learn each child individually. I love to sit down and get on their level while playing and learning. My favorite idea of children is that being an adult, we might think we know a lot, but children teach us new things everyday. I also recently worked at a senior care community for 3 years. I love learning the senior community just as I love learning from the children. While working at the senior community, I was responsible for checking on each person day to day, scheduling activities, and I also loved learning different history that each person went through. Cleaning is also a specialty that I have. I would be available for cleaning duties like dusting, laundry (drop offs and pick ups as needed), bathroom cleaning, kitchen cleaning, organizing, etc. I would love to work with you today!

Alexis $13 per hour for 1 child

I’m Alexis but everyone calls me Lexi, I’ve been a certified babysitter since I was 13, I’m 18 now. I’ve been CPR certified, and am working on my infant certification. I have a basic understanding of Spanish, and German. I do immense research on child psychology, and behavior, and multiple types of parenting techniques. I’ve worked with children of all ages infants to preteens. Even handle multiple at once, which I actually found entertaining. I’m good with emotional outbursts, meltdowns and find myself to be a calm, grounded person. I love running, and outdoor fun, as well as board games and arts. Like singing, drawing, and dancing. I graduated early, so I am very good at tutoring, and homework. I’m an excellent cook, and fairly good baker. I also have a spotless driving record. I believe that structure and rules are important, but a fair amount of play is also necessary for childhood development and growth.
