Hello! My name is Mackenzie! I love working with children and do it full time at a daycare as well. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I have always been around children and have 10 siblings so working with children has always been fun and come easy. If you have any questions please let me know.
Hello! My name is Ava Marie. I’ll be attending UTA in the fall. I have worked in the service industry, and I’m transitioning into childcare because I love teaching kids to be creative and free in spirit! When it comes to my experience, I have helped raise my younger twin sisters my entire life. I love being playful, spending time outdoors, and being active! I am naturally a silly person that loves being around children because they are youthful and easy to inspire! I am a phenomenal role model for kids to look up to! I would love to work as a teacher in Spain or in Costa Rica! I admire the gentle parenting approach, and would love to gain some insightful parenting skills from working in different family dynamics. I am currently looking for part time work, and have flexible availability. Please let me know if you have any questions!
Hi! My name is Shanjay and I’m a caring babysitter with a genuine love for working with children. My full time job is a nurse however, I want to explore other means of extra income being of an assistance to others in need. I am a parent of 3 adult children, 20,19, 17 so I am well equipped to handle children with gentle care. I will provide a safe environment as well as some fun with activities such as crafting, playing games, helping with homework. I’m also CPR child and adult certified with American heart. I am happy to help with light housekeeping or meal prep.
I have been babysitting since I was 12 years old. I’ve worked with all ages from infants and up. I was a preschool teacher for awhile and I also have experience working with special education. Ive nannied for a 4 year old boy, a family with 4 kids (ages 10, 8, 5, 6 months) and occasionally for a family with 11, 9 and 3 year olds. I have my own car so I don’t mind transporting or running errands as needed. I’m CPR/BLS certified, almost medical assistant certified, a non smoker, I like to cook, and don’t mind light janitorial and household duties. I Can speak intermediate Spanish. I know enough to be able to teach someone else how to speak it and I would love to learn more together as well. I am based in Texas but I travel to California every so often to visit family.
I am 22 years old. I am currently a barista at Starbucks par-time and I do online schooling part time as well. I am first generation who has a twin brother. My brother and I are the first in the family to seek bachelor degrees! I am very empathetic and always give to my loved ones without expecting anything in return. I am a sensitive kiddo but with great communication I am very open minded and can go through any obstacle in life! :) I am striving to become a marketing analyst as a career, but in all I just want to help people and seek happiness in this life. I am a great caregiver due to a personal reason in not wanting any kiddo or baby have a hard up bringing like I did. I am wanting to help in any way.
