Hi! Next time meet you! My name is Gina and I am a proud mom of 4 children. I have 3 sons and 1 daughter their ages are 8, 6, 4, and 2. I love children with my whole heart and soul. My children are the greatest gift I have ever been given. The joy I receive from educating, nurturing children is a blessing. I always had a fondness for children as I looked forward to baby sitting my friends younger siblings. There is a song lyric I think about often it is “find something that you love and do it everyday, do that for the rest of your life and the world will change.” This is how I feel about childhood education and child care and why I am passionate about it. I believe how we raise children is the most important thing we can do to change the world. I believe all children are a gift from God. All of my experience and self education is life experience and reading books such as How to Talk so Kids will Listen and How to Listen so Kids will Talk, Whole Brain Child, and No Drama Discipline. I believe in gentle parenting to my core. Gentle parenting does not mean hands off parenting. It keeps adults educated on controlling emotions and parenting from an executive function part of the brain instead of a primal impulsive one (emotional). The behaviors we want to see in our children starts with us. I believe in using connection to foster respect for the positive behavior not punishment. Another thing I prioritize in child care is ensuring the children are safe. You ensure this by being involved with the children at all times (do not be on phone) and educating children on unsafe behavior. I also find education important which means being firm on limiting electronics. Encouraging children to use their imagination and reading. I am a Christian and have strong biblical values in case your family does as well. I respect all religions (except satanism) and above all I respect a parent’s choice for how THEY want to raise their child. I am self educated in health and do know how to cook a healthy home cooked meal and encourage children to try new foods by making it fun and silly. Which being fun/silly is usually the best way to motivate a child to do anything lol. Also for dog sitting/walking you can take almost all of my views above and apply to fur babies. Dogs just need love, patience and attention. I also have big love for dogs. Another blessing I feel god gave us is to care for animals. Thank you for taking the time to read. God bless you!
My name is Analisa and I have about 5 years of experience working with children of all ages. I have tutored many school age children as well as taken care of senior citizens. I take pride in the care that I’m able to give. I am also a pharmacy technician and understand how to care for people on a lower medical level. I love what I do and I also serve at the nursery for my church often. I hope to be able to serve you and your family the way you need.
I’m a former substitute teacher, nanny, and senior caregiver. I have experience tutoring in a variety of subjects, preparing meals, assisting with homework, organizing households, and caring for a variety of animals. I have a bachelor’s degree and am vaccinated.
I was babysitting with Juggle for a year and absolutely loved getting to know all the families and children! I am currently in my second year as a preschool aide at an elementary school. I also volunteer with a 2 and 3 year olds at my church two times a month.
One could say I’m very well seasoned in several areas. I have many years of experience caring for children, seniors, and pets. I grew up helping elderly family members, and continued helping elderly family members, as well as church members in my adulthood. I have cared for and babysat children of all ages. Some of my responsibilities have been picking up, dropping off children, as well as getting elders to appointments or activities. I have helped with meal prep household chores and errands. I’ve cared for animals my whole life as well. I hold a degree in Veterinary Technology and am certified in First Aid and CPR. I’m dependable, patient, and adaptable, and I enjoy making sure those I care for feel safe, comfortable, and supported
