Hi! My name is Sheena and I can assure you my qualifications, personality, and attention to detail will make the pay worth your while. My experience ranges from all over. It began when I started volunteering at my church with the childcare center! I knew I had a passion and decided to go to college for early childhood education. I finished my schooling in 2022 and wanted to explore a teaching career. I then worked in a preschool for almost a year and a half. I became CPR/First Aid certified there and still am! I had my own T-K classroom with 24 children and loved finding fun ways to lead them to learn. This included social studies, math, science, writing, language/literacy, dramatic play, as well as social and emotional in my daily goals. When attendance was low I would “float” to different classes and spend time with all ages, giving me experience with the entire school that was varying from ages 1-2, 2-3, and 3-4. The director of the school would love to give me a great reference. I have been told I have a calming presence yet spunky character so it works out great for children and I to bond! Additionally, I have a younger sister with extreme allergies and a mom with disabilities so I can understand special circumstances and will prioritize your needs and directions with the utmost respect. I want you to know that I was raised “treat others the way you want to be treated“. I will leave an area looking better than I found it, ask questions so I get things done right, and value your family and home as if it was my own.

Hiii! I’m Aubrey, some of my important qualifications I would say are responsible, caring, and reliable. I have a natural ability to connect with kids, keeping them engaged with fun, age-appropriate activities while also maintaining a safe environment. I am patient, attentive, and quick to respond in any situation, which helps me handle everything from everyday routines to challenges. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing meals, or simply offering a warm and trustworthy presence, I’m dedicated to providing the best care possible. One of my experiences with children is that I have a 6 year old little sister, who I take care of all the time! I have changed diapers, made her dinner/lunch/breakfast, gave baths, taken her to school, packed lunches, put her to bed.

Hello, My name is Karlina, I’m a happy, patient and caring person, I’m originally from Costa Rica I speak English and Spanish, married for 28 years and mom of 3 amazing kids ages 13, 18, 21. I have been a stay at home mom for the last 20 years, but now since my kids are older I’m looking for part time job in child care, senior care and household services. I love children and spending time with them, playing and reading, helping them with their homework and other activities, I have experience with all ages. I can also assist with some cooking for your child, driving them to school, parks and other activities. Also I have experience taking care of my own elderly in laws by being their caring companion helping them with shopping driving them to doctors appointments cooking, cleaning and running errands.
“I’m very happy to recommend Karlina for any babysitting or nanny position. She is a genuinely caring, kind, and thoughtful person who connects naturally with children. She is experienced, dependable, and highly capable, with a calm presence that puts both children and parents at ease. She is fun and engaging, and would do a great job balancing play, creativity, and structure. Children truly enjoy spending time with her. What really sets her apart is her reliability and good judgment. She takes her responsibilities seriously, is consistently dependable, and creates a safe, positive environment for kids. She brings warmth and professionalism to everything she does. I would confidently recommend her to families looking for a trustworthy, capable, and engaging babysitter. Thank you, -Sandra”
