A'Neishia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to view my profile. I bring over five years of experience supporting families with children ranging from infants to school‑age. I’ve worked with families both regularly and on an as‑needed basis, adapting as their schedules and needs changed. I currently work in the school system with Pre‑K through 5th‑grade students, where I assist teachers with interventions and provide support to students with a wide range of academic, behavioral, and social‑emotional needs. This experience has strengthened my creativity and ability to connect with children at different developmental stages. When working with families, I love getting to know each child’s personality, routines, and interests. I enjoy planning engaging activities such as arts and crafts, painting, dancing, homework help, trips to the park or museums, library visits, and supporting bedtime routines. I’m also comfortable offering light potty‑training support when needed. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with light household tasks—tidying up, running quick errands, house sitting, or pet sitting (I have a few pets of my own). I can also assist with simple meal prep or light cooking. My goal is always to make your day a little easier and ensure your child feels safe, supported, and cared for.
