Hello, My names Christina I’m reaching out in response to your need for a babysitter for your children. I am a retired RN. After retiring from nursing, I decided to return to my first passion, childcare. I began caring for children at the age of ten and have never stopped, I love all children. There is nothing more beautiful than the sound of a child's laughter. As a caregiver, I will provide a safe and stimulating environment for your child. In addition to being certified in CPR and first aid, I have also been educated regarding stages of child development. My lifestyle does not include smoking, vaping, or drinking alcohol. The presence of pets is fine with me, and I have my own vehicle. My undivided attention will be given to your children while I am with them; you will not find me on my cell phone. Upon request, I am willing to provide copies of a recent comprehensive background check and references. You can be confident that I will give your children the level of care and attention they need to grow and thrive. It would be my pleasure to discuss how I might be able to assist your family. You are welcome to contact me at your earliest convenience. If you would like to speak with me. Your consideration is greatly appreciated, Christina.

Booked by 8 families in Ama, LA

Hey, I'm Destiny, 28 years young and armed with 4-5 years of experience in the trenches of daycare centers. My most recent adventure was at the Jewish Community Center summer camp (2026). What makes me a great caregiver, you ask? Well, I'm all ears, and I don't mind lending a hand with light housework and pet care. Looking forward to speaking with you soon.

Destiny was so great with our twin four year olds and had perfect instincts for how to keep them engaged, how to distract them when we were leaving, and how to make them feel safe in a new city with a new caretaker. I would highly recommend her!
