Hi! I am Hailee. I'm currently a sophomore who is taking college course online. To get personal, I am an older sister myself so I take younger children's safety very seriously as I have experienced first hand how important it is that a parent feels confident their child is safe. To follow that, I have currently been a nanny for one year, but also have my own job outside of that, serving! I have volunteered at after school programs, I truly do have a passion for becoming a safe space for children to share their creativity and a reliable resource for the parents. While I have two years of experience working with children ages 6-11 in an afterschool program, I also have been an older sister for almost nine years. I have experienced nighttime cries, bad attitudes, fights between siblings, organizing toys, clean-up after dinner, etc. I enjoy providing excellent care while ensuring the child's safety is my number one priority, like it would be the parents. I would be more than happy to assist this family with their daily needs and become someone they can rely on. I offer an energetic and education safe space for your child with years of experience in schools with kids of all ages. Thank you for your time and consideration!
“Wonderful to work with and amazing with my daughter. I will book her again and again! ”
I knew at an early age that I wanted to be a caregiver. And now, after a 25+ year nursing career, I want to help parents who need childcare that's convenient and affordable. Not in a daycare setting per se, but on a one-on-one basis in a beautiful, quiet setting in my home. Are you a first-time parent experiencing anxiety and worried about where your new baby will be during this first year of their life? Well, let's not wrap the baby in bubble wrap just yet! Rest assured, your child will be in loving, caring and very capable hands. Questions? Probably a hundred, and that's just fine. Relax and let me ease some of your concerns. This first year will be a wonderful growing and learning experience and you can feel confident your baby is safe ( CPR trained infants) and well taken care of.
I am a very experienced cat lady! I have lived with and cared for cats my entire life - being owned by 5 of them now. I also have volunteered at our local Humane Society for 9 years which has taught me a lot on the medical and behavior sides of cats. I am experienced with giving meds and following special dietary and medical needs. I also have experience with rats, rabbits, hamsters, ferrets, and dogs
Hiii, my name is Caitlin and I am currently a senior at The University of South Alabama majoring in anthropology and double minoring in biology and sustainability. I will be offering child care services for all children, senior and animal care, as well as household support and services. I absolutely love children and watching them grow and develop! I have had child care experience since I was 12 years old and have successfully managed any emergency that arose while I was watching the child. I am very vigilant while also respectful of boundaries that the children may have. I am a loving, caring, playful caretaker and children have always enjoyed my company. I have handled school pickup, grocery shopping, prepared the child for school and navigated them safely to the bus stop and chaperoned baseball games. I also double as a household assistant. I am able to clean common areas such as kitchens, living rooms and play rooms. I am also adapt in building household shelves and furniture. I bring all of my own materials and will converse with the client first to ensure safe spaces and prevent toxic chemicals from entering the home. I am an experienced care taker for the elderly and have had great success with them. Bathing, cleaning, organizing are essential tasks that they require and that I am able to fulfill. I will be honored to take them for a walk or simply talk with them as well. I am not allergic to any cats or dogs and absolutely love them both! I have no experience with other animals but am open to it! I am an optimistic, lively person that will follow your instructions to the T while also being respectful and treating your family like my own. :)
