Hi everyone, my name is Shelby. I'm currently a 5th-8th grade educator but have taken care of newborns, and worked professionally in environments with children as young as 3 and up to 17. I love creating fun and inclusive spaces for children which is why I've dedicated the last 8 years to working with them! I'm also a huge pet lover (with a rabbit and pug of my own) and would love to meet any fur babies of yours 😄. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about my qualifications or experiences. I'm CPR/First Aid/AED certified.
hey! my name is Perla and i’m currently finishing my year as an au pair. I’m offering child care and household services. I’ve been babysitting for multiple years now. I’ve been a pool supervisor in a summer camp for one season when I was 18. I took care of different kids before coming to the US to be an au pair. And also a have a younger sister. My responsabilities with my current host family are helping helping with the morning routine, lunch prep and getting them ready for school. After school i prepare them dinner, play any boardgames, watch a movie, or anything that comes at the moment. it really depends on the day and the kids mood. I don’t have a drivers license, i mostly manage via public transport or uber. I feel comfortable working with animals. We have two cats here where i live and i have one cat on my own back at home, so i love animals a lot🫶🏻
