Hola my name is Kianna or the little ones can call me Kiki. I helped my mother with three kids of different ages for almost 14 years. From bottle feeding to changing diapers to baths to driving them to school.
Hi my name is Tyra :) I am 18 years old I don’t have experience being a nanny but I’ve worked with children man times I use to be a pre-school teacher, I love doing fun activities & teaching children new things to learn I am very mindful, responsible & respectful at the moment I do not drive but I have transportation.
I have 5+ years of experience, i have raised my little brothers and love kids!! I have experience with ages 6m-14y of age. My last family no longer needed my services because they were old enough to fend for themselves..Miss them very much!! Have no care but reliable transportation.
Hiiiiii! My name is Simeion! I have an experience in childcare and animal careand I am passionate about providing high-quality care and support in my community!! I offer a range of services including child care, pet care, and household assistance. I have experience with children of all ages, from infants to school-aged kids. I’ve been babysitting since i was 14! I’ve volunteered at my church with childcare. I enjoy engaging children in activities such as arts and crafts, driving to and from school/ running errands, tutoring/help with homework, and helping with practices and games! I also can cook and can make meals for children. I have experience caring for dogs and cats, and small animals. I am comfortable handling large dogs and am experienced with pets that shed. My pet care services include walking, feeding, playing, and providing companionship. I ensure pets receive the attention and loving they need!!
Hello! My name is Michel, but everyone calls me Kells. For the past two years, I’ve had the privilege of serving as a Co-Junior Church Leader, where I’ve worked closely with children of all ages. This role has helped me develop strong leadership, communication, and teamwork skills while teaching me the importance of patience, encouragement, and creating a safe, positive environment for kids to learn and grow. Working with children on a regular basis has given me valuable experience handling different personalities, resolving conflicts calmly, and being someone they can trust and look up to. In addition to my church experience, I’ve also spent many years helping care for my disabled grandmother. Being one of her caregivers has taught me responsibility, compassion, reliability, and the importance of putting others’ needs first. It has required patience, attention to detail, and a willingness to help with daily tasks while ensuring she was cared for with dignity and respect. These experiences have shaped me into a dependable, caring, and hardworking person. I enjoy helping others, work well with people of all ages, and always strive to bring a positive attitude wherever I go. Whether I’m working with children, supporting those who need extra care, or contributing as part of a team, I take pride in being someone others can rely on.
