I’ve been teaching in grades 1-6 for the past 17 years. I have daily experience working with 25+ children. I am dependable and hardworking. I currently have two pitbull dogs but grew up mucking stalls for our horses, taking care of various types of birds, reptiles and fish. My mom is a senior who is on oxygen so I am familiar with the frequent doctor visits and needs of seniors. I am a full time teacher so I am currently looking to work during the summer months and extended holidays.
I am a caring, reliable, and patient Head Start Teacher Assistant with over a year of hands-on experience working with young children (3-5) in a classroom setting. I am currently a college student pursuing a degree in Early Childhood Education, which has strengthened my knowledge of child development, safety, and age-appropriate learning activities. I enjoy creating a nurturing, structured, and fun environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to grow. I have experience assisting with daily routines, educational activities, behavior guidance, and communication with families. I am responsible, attentive, and passionate about helping children thrive.
Hi, my name is Kyle and I am a 30 year old well experienced caretaker. I love working with children and dogs. I am allergic to cats. I’ve been a Respite, Habilitation, Attendant Care Provider since I was 19 working with Neural-Divergent and Neural-Typical Clients of all ages from 3 years old to 45 years old. I am CPR/First Aid Certified and have my Level 1 IVP Fingerprint Clearance card as well as prevention and support training and an Article 9 certification that are all current and up to date as of June of Last year 2025. I am currently in the process of getting my RBT Certification and furthering my education as a BCBA in ABA Therapy.
I’m a dependable, patient, and caring person who genuinely enjoys helping others. I understand how important it is for families to have someone they can trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m attentive, responsible, and respectful of each family’s routines, expectations, and home. I’m also easygoing and approachable, while knowing when children need structure, patience, or extra attention. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and positive environment where children feel cared for and parents can feel confident that their family is in good hands.
Hiii! I grew up in a divorced household with mostly just my dad around. I was left unattended a lot with my older sister and I always felt unsafe. Now as an older teenager, I just want to provide that safety and comfort of having someone there to children. I really want to be a teacher for younger kids, that’s why I try to babysit to get as much experience as possible. I love to do hands on interactive activities and I also love to be outside. I can also cook, bake, and clean!!
