When I was 13 my aunt ran a daycare. I would help with the cleaning, supervise the kids when my aunt couldnt, the cooking, and taking care of the babies. When I was 21 I would occasionally watch my friends child from the time she was 6 months till 8 years old. When I was 23 I worked for the school district as a substitute noon duty. When I was 26 I worked for Elizabeth Gomez for 8 months. She had two kids. A boy who was 10 and a girl who was 5. My responsibilities were to pick up the kids, help with their homework, drive them to their extracurricular activities, clean, and cook them dinner. When I was 27 I worked at a church in their baby room. I would help supervise them until the end of church. I worked for them 2 months. After that I worked for Jennifer Couch. She has two boy who was 7 and 4. I would supervise them, cook them lunch and dinner, and put them to bed. When I was 28 I worked for Craig and Catharine Hamilton. They have a boy who was 5.

Cheryl $20 per hour for 1 child

As a mother of four sons, with two still at home, I understand the patience, love, and dedication it takes to care for children of all ages. Raising my boys has been the most rewarding experience of my life, and I truly enjoy watching children grow, learn, and gain confidence. I am a dependable, caring, and nurturing caregiver who creates a safe, fun, and supportive environment. Whether it's helping with homework, planning engaging activities, driving children to school, playdates, or sporting events, or simply being a positive and reliable presence, I'm happy to support your family's needs. I believe every child deserves encouragement, kindness, and someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with them. I look forward to building a trusting relationship with your family and providing the same level of care I have always given my own children.

Hello! I'm a full-time college student studying Biology. On my time off, I like to read, bake, and binge a show. I come from a bigger family so I've always helped take care of people when I can. I enjoy helping others with academics since I've had roles as a mentor/tutor from middle through high school. I'm comfortable in the kitchen and cleaning up around the house.
