Hiya! I'm currently in college for Elementary Education, and with my 6 years of experience babysitting, tutoring, and working in a Montessori daycare center, I know that childcare is where I am meant to be. I am certified in Adult, Child, and Infant CPR and First Aid. I have experience with all ages 4mo-15yrs, and while littles are my favorite, I love spending time with kids of all ages! I am happy to help care for pets, from cats to dogs to hamsters or fish, and adore cooking/meal prep. When I'm not working, I love to spend my time outdoors, whether that's swimming with my little sister, exploring the woods with friends, or biking to town, and I could also talk your ear off about ECE pedagogy! Can't wait to meet you (:

My personality is very valuable in childcare. I am a kind, responsible, and honest person. People who know me tell me that I am very charming and patient in my work and personal life. I work hard at everything I am willing to do. Also, I know how to communicate effectively with others, which I think is very important when working with families. Of note, I have experience in childcare and I am very enthusiastic. Children always connect with me. I think I have good vibes to get along with others. As for household chores, I try to do them on time and efficiently. I have experience cooking meals and preparing healthy snacks, driving children, and providing them with activities to enjoy in their daily lives.

Hi - My name is Alex and I'm currently working part-time at Living Christ Early Learning Center. I am offering occasional childcare and cat care. I love taking care of kids and have taken care of newborns, infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school agers on a regular basis since I started as a childcare volunteer in 2017. I can do it all with any child, from feeding, changing, and getting a baby to sleep to driving school aged children to and from extra curricular activities. I really love to drive all over as well. I can help around the house with mild cleaning, cooking, and cat care as well (I grew up with cats). While I have very little experience with dogs and haven't officially offered any kind of dog care, I am open for discussion on the matter if you are to ask. The most important thing to know about me is that I'm a devout follower of the Lord Jesus Christ! God has truly gifted me when it comes to children! I'm here because I want to meet a lot of new people and, most importantly, to show them the love of Christ by serving in any way I possibly can (most especially by taking care of His most precious little lambs). By the way, in case you didn't notice, I'm a guy! I'm grateful to God that I can be a positive male role model to children, which I believe there is an extreme shortage of in this society! If you're interested in my help, NEVER hesitate to call me at ‪[removed]‬ or message me. I'd love to get to know you and see how I can help you and your children as best as I can.
