Hello my name is Amanda aka Mandy! I have 2 of my own children (teenagers) and am looking for a side gig to make some extra cash. I’ve been a toddler teacher for many years and enjoy being creative in my teaching, using art activities and open-ended opportunities. I love building relationships with my students and helping them develop their independence and creativity. I would describe myself as a nurturing loving person that loves to care for and help others.
I’m a caring and reliable caregiver with experience as a daycare assistant teacher working with children up to age 5. I’m also a mom to an 8-month-old, so I understand patience, routines, and child development firsthand. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for kids and am comfortable with feeding, diapering, playtime, and bedtime routines. I’m also fluent in English and Spanish.
I’ve worked as a pre-k teacher for the past 4 1/2 years, frequently babysit and used to have 2 nannying jobs. I’m pretty decent with special needs kids and have worked with them before. I have been CORI checked, have no criminal background and am CPR, First aid and teacher certified. I’m playful and creative with children and encourage learning, boundaries, playing pretend, creativeness, and just fun all around! I am experienced, ambitious, organized, a good listener, / great rule/boundary follower, and kind, respectful, accommodating, outgoing and energetic. I’ve mainly only watched children but have also watched pets before. I have no experience watching seniors but am willing to learn and do it. I’ve also never house-sat but am again, willing to and am very responsible and great at cleaning and taking care of things and keeping it in check. I have a background with psychology and social work from college so I’m very good at reading children’s heads and understanding their personalities. I am also very protective of them because of my schooling in social work so I know how to watch and take care of them. I am currently going to college for nursing and am doing multiple interviews for more teaching positions at other schools because I recently got laid off because there was too many staff members.
Hi my names is vanessa and I’m a nursing student I’ve always loved taking care of kids and creating a fun, safe and supportive environment for them. I enjoy doing creative activities like coloring and painting and playing , I’m always happy to help with homework, school projects and crafts . I’m patient , responsible and attentive and I try to make sure kids feel comfortable and engaged while in my care . I also have experience as a household assistant , I can help with light cleaning and keeping things organized around the house . I am allergic to cats and dogs.
Hi, my name is Aneila! I’m a student that just turned 21 years old and I love being around children! I grew up watching kids my whole life so it’s all I’ve ever known. I’ve babysat family & friends children’s but never as an actual job. I have also worked at boys and girls club with kids throughout many different ages, working with over 20+ children even alone. I say that me being able to enjoy a job working and being able to provide for children makes me a great caregiver because I’ll never not enjoy it. I hope you can trust me to be your caregiver! :)
