My name is Ghena I am working on my associates degree in PCC. I am offering childcare, senior care. I’m a preschool teacher. I love children and I’m very passionate about children and teaching them and being there for them. I worked as a babysitter For 2 years. I created a safe and nurturing childcare environment. I communicated with parents to understand each child's specific needs and desires. I have experience with seniors I lived with my grandparents and took care of them. I can drive seniors to appointments.
“She’s is really organized and very good at communicating when I reach out about scheduling. She’s does a really great job at taking care of my grandparents. They love having her around. She’s very friendly and very reliable. Totally recommend her if anyone’s need a caregiver”
Hello! I am a former 6-12th grade teacher going back to school for nursing. I am looking for occasional or part time work on the days that I don’t have classes. My formal experience with children includes teaching middle school and high school, as well as summer camp with preschool to middle school aged children, and as an educational assistant for a special needs program. Although it has been awhile since I officially offered childcare, I grew up taking care of four younger siblings as well as foster children. I did often babysit for families with multiple children of different ages throughout high school and am looking to start again. I am comfortable with children of all ages, and am happy to help with light household chores and pets if needed. As a former teacher, I have a lot of experience with lesson planning and engaging kids in science (and other subjects too) regardless of their age and I would be happy to implement this in any childcare position. Looking forward to connecting with you!
Hi, I’m Carissa! I have a genuine love for working with children and bring a calm, caring energy to every babysitting job. With experience as a preschool teacher’s assistant, I’m comfortable with all kinds of routines—from playtime and learning activities to snacks and naps. I’m reliable, patient, and always focused on creating a positive and safe space for kids to be themselves.
I’m the eldest of six, the mother of four, and the grandmother of seven! I’ve always had dogs, cats, and small animals. I have a Bachelor of Science degree and substitute teacher experience. I am an excellent cook and housekeeper. I love people and animals and they generally love me, too!
