Hi! I’m Saelish. I have experience working with children through Primrose and also babysitting for several families. I’m very reliable with routines like daycare pick-ups and always focus on making things feel calm, easy, and consistent for your child. I’m naturally attentive and patient, and I like to make sure kids feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while also keeping parents in the loop. I’d love to help support your family and make your day-to-day a little smoother!
Hello, my name is Myllene. I come from a family of eight children, and as the firstborn, I developed strong caregiving skills from an early age by helping care for my younger siblings. This experience was not out of obligation, but from a genuine passion for supporting and nurturing others. Over the years, my love for working with children has continued to grow. I enjoy creating a safe, caring, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable and supported. I am patient, responsible, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. I would be honored to assist your family and provide dependable, compassionate care for your little ones.
Hi! I’m Sofia! I spent 7 years working as a medical assistant in pediatrics and family medicine, so I can handle everything from scraped knees to temper tantrums. I love being around children and making sure our time together is fun, safe, and enjoyable. Feel free to reach out with any questions!
I bring 5 years of hands-on childcare experience through babysitting, church nursery care, and youth volunteer work. I’m a certified lifeguard trained in CPR, First Aid, and AED, and I also teach swim lessons, which helps me stay calm, confident, and safety-focused in any situation. I’m currently working toward my B.S. in Child Development so I can continue building my career supporting children’s growth and development. Along with caring for kids, I also have a strong love for animals—especially dogs. I’m experienced with pet care, walking, feeding, and providing companionship, and I’m always happy to help families with their furry friends. I also enjoy supporting elderly individuals and have a natural patience and compassion that makes me great at offering company, help with small tasks, or just being a comforting presence. Whether I’m caring for children, pets, or older adults, I bring warmth, reliability, and genuine care into every home I’m welcomed into.
