I currently work for a family taking care of two young girls. My responsibilities include picking them up from school, preparing them for bed, and cleaning/cooking. I love my job as each day I learn something new and relearn to view the world though a child's point of view. Previously, I worked transporting kids of special needs in the yellow school bus. I as well have experience working as a home attendant with children and senior citizens for four years. I am also a single mom of two daughters. One is a nurse and the other one is studying in college. In addition, I ,myself, am studying in college working to get my GED and associates degree for medical assistant. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, cooking, and sewing. I am a friendly and patient person and love taking care of others.

Hi! I'm currently a college student majoring in psychology with aspirations for nursing school! At present, I have no idea exactly what I would like to specialize in, but I have a feeling it will ultimately be in pediatrics. I've spent most of my life working with children, be it as a general babysitter, a nanny, a peer mentor, a tutor, a lifeguard, or a camp counselor at a sleep away camp for several years. I love getting to know kids and helping them foster their interests and creativity, as well as teaching them to think out of the box! In my free time I love to go on hikes, play guitar, and most importantly I love to teach myself new things! I'm looking forward to working with you and your family.

Hello, My name is Vanessa, and I am a high school teacher. I taught language arts for 20 years and am currently in the discipline department at a high school. I have experience with children and pets, and I speak fluent Spanish and English. I have helped take care of my grandmother, so I can assist in taking care of an elderly person.

💕 Loving, Reliable & Trustworthy Childcare Hello! My name is Mileth, and I offer loving and reliable childcare services for babies and children from 1 month to 5 years old. I am a responsible, trustworthy, patient, and caring person, and I understand firsthand how important it is for parents to find someone they can completely trust with their children. I am also a mother, so I understand how much love, attention, patience, and care children need. As parents, we always want the best for our children, and I know how important it is to feel comfortable and confident with the person caring for them. I truly enjoy being around children and caring for them. I can help with their daily routines, meals, naps, playtime, and age-appropriate activities, always following the parents’ instructions and preferences. 🍎 Meal preparation: I can prepare meals and snacks for children according to the parents’ instructions, preferences, and dietary needs. 🍼 Baby care: feeding, diaper changes, naps, playtime, and keeping up with their daily routine. 🎨 Activities: reading, creative activities, games, and age-appropriate play. 💗 My priority is to make sure every child feels safe, loved, comfortable, and well cared for while they are in my care. 🇺🇸🇪🇸 I speak both English and Spanish, which allows me to communicate easily with families in either language. If you are looking for someone reliable who will care for your child with love, patience, and dedication, I would be happy to meet you and learn more about your family’s needs.

“Very professional.”
