I have over 4 years of experience as a caregiver, supporting children, seniors, and pets. I’m compassionate, patient, and dependable, with a strong focus on creating a safe and positive environment for everyone I care for. Over the years, I’ve provided childcare that includes homework help, meal preparation, and planning fun, educational activities. I’ve also assisted seniors with daily tasks such as cooking, medication reminders, light housekeeping, and companionship. In addition, I have hands-on experience with pet care—feeding, walking, and maintaining routines. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, very organized, and known for my reliability and excellent communication. I truly enjoy helping others and making a difference in their daily lives. I can provide references upon request.
I love children and animals! I enjoy caring for them and i enjoy teaching kids and helping them grow. I’ve been a babysitter all of my life and i’ve recently got into caring for animals! My schedule is a little weird right now as I am currently still working full-time as a 1 year old teacher but looking for more flexible hours and i’m willing to work around my schedule to accommodate the families as well!
Hello everyone 🤍! I’m Aleah. My love for childcare began through caring for my now 3yr old niece & 5yr old nephew since infant age. Since then, I’ve cared for 25+ children in Brevard County ages 6 weeks to 12 years old as well as being a member of my church’s nursery ministry. I currently hold a position as a Preschool Aftercare Teacher M-F 12-6pm, so my availability is mornings, nights & weekends. I’m an EFSC and Keiser University graduate residing in West Melbourne, FL that is dedicated to keeping your children safe & sound while following any routines set in place. I have reliable transportation, non-smoker & good with friendly pets. I’m able to meal prep, change diapers, potty train, do dishes & laundry, assist with homework & other light household tasks. Plus, I am cpr/first aid certified. I’m excited to connect with new families & I’m looking forward to your interest. Thank you 😊!
Bio I have 3 children of my own, and was a stay at home mom for 12 years, managing the home, and schedules. ( cooking, cleaning, errands, Doctor appointments, play date etc…) I received a degree from the school of Early Childhood ED in fall of 1997. My philosophy for working with children ( school or nanny position) is heavily based on the child’s social emotional being. My beliefs is this provides a foundation for our lives as we grow and develop. Early childhood is a passion I have shared with children ranging from infants to 6. I am looking forward to new opportunities outside of a classroom setting while relocating to West Melbourne, Florida. I am looking for full time(6:30-5:30)part time (3-7pm) employment starting in September. I am CPR/first aid certified and non smoker I also love animals:) I have two dogs of my own.
