Trinity University City
$19 per hour for 1 child

With over 4 years of hands-on experience in daycare and preschool settings, I’ve developed a strong passion for working with children of all ages. As the oldest of 8 siblings and a long-time volunteer at a church nursery, caring for kids has always been a part of my life. I have experience with children from 6 weeks to 10 years old and currently work at a preschool, where I continue to grow my skills every day. I’m fun, patient, and friendly, and I strive to create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for every child. I am CPR and First Aid certified, Safe Sleep certified, and currently working toward earning my Child Development Associate (CDA) credential. I am also currently pregnant so I am looking for part time work that isn’t long term. I would love to help out you and your family with watching your little one/s!

$18 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Cheyanne! I’m a fun, creative, and loving person who truly enjoys putting a smile on someone’s face. I’ve always had a passion for making people feel supported, seen, and encouraged, no matter what they may be going through. While I was in college, I had the opportunity to serve as a “Big” through Big Brothers Big Sisters. That experience meant a lot to me. It allowed me to build a meaningful bond with my “Little,” offer guidance, and grow as a mentor. It strengthened my love for helping young people and reminded me of the importance of being a positive role model. I’m also a proud aunt to several nieces and nephews, and I’ve been trusted to watch over them throughout the years. Being there for them whether we’re playing, learning, or just spending quality time together has helped shape my understanding of care, patience, and responsibility. My family knows they can depend on me, and that means the world. I’m the kind of person who brings warmth and positivity into everything I do, and I always aim to brighten the day of anyone I meet.

$15 per hour for 1 child

I've worked with small children since age 14, as a nursery assistant. I was VP of the PTO board of an elementary school for 3.5 years, and also school mom during my time there. I most recently spent 3 years as a personal caretaker of an elderly blind man. I've always been great with those young in age and those up in age. I have an old soul but I'm a child at heart.
