Hi, I’m Peyton! I’m currently in school for occupational therapy and have many years of childcare experience. I’m kind, patient, and nurturing, and I truly enjoy helping children feel safe, supported, and happy. I love engaging in play, supporting daily routines, and creating a calm, loving environment where kids can grow and feel confident.
Hello, I am Raelyn and I am currently a college student looking for some summer jobs. I have worked at a child care center for almost 3 years as a floating teachers. I have worked mostly with infants and toddlers, but have little experience with the older kids. I have a reliable vehicle and am willing to help out with extras such as rides, tutoring, chores, and pet care if needed!
Hey, my name is Ketty.I am currently babysitting for a few families on call. I love drawing but mostly painting. I am patient and willing to learn and listen. I love listening to music and exploring new things.
I absolutely love kids! I’m a mom of 4 and a former teacher, principal, and superintendent. Patience and compassion are my strengths, while still maintaining control through calm. I savor time spent with kids of all ages, with babies being the sweetest. I also enjoy spending time with and taking care of toddlers all the way to teenagers. Yes, I said teenagers! I have a way of connecting with them and building appropriate relationships. In addition to caring for kids, I can help with homework. My teaching experience is in middle and high school English Language Arts, Math, Biology, and Science. My tutoring experience is in all the age groups with an obvious focus on the areas I’ve taught. Other than the content, one of my strengths while teaching was in classroom management, because I have the ability to use expectations, logical consequences, and relationships to impact student behaviors. And one of the most effective and compassionate, yet effective ways of managing inappropriate behaviors is through using Restorative Practices. I have many years of experience addressing child behavior this way and helping people, both kids and adults through conflict using this approach.
