Hi !! Im Kay the oldest out of three siblings so taking care of kids has pretty much been in my DNA since day one. I’ve got over 10 years of experience with little ones — especially infants — and now I’m a mom of three myself, so I know what it takes to keep babies happy, safe, and on a good routine. I’m super hands-on, patient, and always bring good energy wherever I go. Kids usually warm up to me fast because I treat them like my own. And when it comes to pets, I’m all for it — my husband runs a pet training and boarding business, so we’re big on animals and know how to handle them with care. Your babies (and fur babies) will be in great hands with I do prefer to provide care from my home so I can offer a comfortable, family-style setting for your child. With three little ones of my own, I’ve built a space that’s safe, engaging, and full of love kind of like a mini daycare! Your child will have plenty of playtime, social interaction, and a caring environment while you’re away.
I have been working in childcare for over twenty five years, very passionate about it. I am patient and understanding of children. Love to explore the out doors doing nature walk and exploring bugs, entertaining and amusing them with stories, puzzles artwork and crafts.
I work full-time in architecture and have over 20 years of experience caring for children of all ages and needs, from newborns through teens. I enjoy arts and crafts, science experiments, cooking, and active play, and I thoughtfully adapt my care to each child and family. I’m CPR certified with a clean driving record. My experience includes light household chores, meal prep, school pick-ups and drop-offs, bedtime routines, homework help, and supporting multiples and children with special needs. I currently volunteer with Big Brothers Big Sisters (6.5 years) and serve on the board of NOMAct, where I chair K–12 outreach and lead fun, hands-on architectural learning for kids.
Hi! My name is Alyssa and I’m new to this site and a little unsure of how things work but I’m gonna tell you a little about myself. I’m currently in school to get my nursing degree and I have 3 more years to go! I’m originally from Ohio and moved here around 8 months ago and am expecting my first child in January. I don’t have over the table experience but I’ve grown up raising my siblings and little cousins. I absolutely love toddlers, even the terrible two’s because they’re brand new to the world and just need understanding and time to learn how to express how they feel. I prefer working with younger kids but older children are absolutely okay too! One of my passion’s definitely includes animals. I love them all! I’ve had experience with cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, and also baby animals like kittens and puppies. I was raised on a farm and so I’ve grown up taking care of animals. I don’t typically do housekeeping, but I can absolutely do a little cleanup while I babysit and of course clean up any mess that is made while I’m there! Having any stranger in your home while you’re away can definitely be nerve wracking, especially to watch your children or animals. You’re taking a risk. I promise anyone I work with, that I am safe and trustworthy and I would never put anyone in my care at risk. I expect the same courtesy of insuring my own safety as well! Thank you so much for reading, I hope to work with you soon!
