I have extensive experience working with children across various early childhood settings. I have served in multiple daycare centers, each for a duration of 3–7 months, where I supported daily classroom activities and provided consistent care to young learners. In addition to my formal roles, I have assisted family members and friends with childcare, further strengthening my skills in nurturing and supervising children of different ages. I am currently pursuing my Child Development Associate (CDA) credential through Teachstone to deepen my knowledge of early childhood education I am almost at the finish line ( yay!). I also currently work as an before- care and after-school teacher with KinderCare Champions, where I support and teach children ages 3–5 in a Montessori based school to develop key principles like independence, and hands on experiences which is child lead. I also throw some of my own structured learning in the mix with practice writing the basic but we are mainly Montessori.

Hello! My name is Samukelisiwe , and I’m a 24-year-old with a passion for caregiving. I’ve been an au pair for the past 2 years, caring for children aged 2 to 5. I’m patient, responsible, and love creating a warm, supportive environment. Whether it’s helping with daily routines, engaging in play, or assisting with meals and light housekeeping, I always give my best. Families can count on me for dependable and kind-hearted care.

Hi!! It’s so nice to meet you. My name is Ludi though everyone calls me Ela. I am currently in my last year of college at Howard University where I am studying Radiation Therapy. I would describe myself as kind, reliable, responsible and energetic which makes taking care of children a responsibility I greatly enjoy. I was born in Eritrea and grew up in Seattle where I enjoyed hiking, going on walks, and visiting some amazing bookshops and cafes. I first starting helping care for children when my sister was born. While I can’t believe that she is nine now (!!!), I have enjoyed helping take care of her since she was born. Since my mother was a contract worker and my father worked doubles, taking care of her was a responsibility I took very seriously and found to be beyond rewarding. The skills and patience I gained when helping her learn to read or understand her frustrations when she couldn’t verbalize them are ones I use now as I study patient care. Since taking care of her, I have been trusted with the care of children of all ages and varying needs. I personally enjoy reading together, going on walks, working through homework, playing games, cooking, and making origami animals with kids. I am very health conscious and have received both Covid shots as well as three boosters along with my yearly flu shot. It is important to me that I develop long lasting, and meaningful connections with families I can provide services to. I can’t wait to meet you!!

Hi! I’m a dependable and experienced caregiver with 9 years of hands on childcare experience. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with families in a variety of roles from babysitting and tutoring, to leading groups of kids at summer camp and afterschool programs. I’ve cared for children who are up to 16 years old (mostly school aged children aged 5-12), and I genuinely enjoy creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for them to grow and thrive. Whether it’s helping with homework, making dinner, cleaning up, putting them to bed, heading out to the park, or even binge watching their favorite movies on repeat (you would not believe how many times I’ve seen The Minions movies lol), I’m there with patience, energy, and a smile. I’ve also worked as an in home tutor for five years, specializing in Chinese, English, and math, which means I’m well versed in keeping kids focused and engaged academically, too. In addition to childcare, I have a lifelong love for animals. I grew up with five pit bulls in my home and have always been comfortable around pets of all kinds. I’ve petsat for friends and family, sometimes for up to two months at a time; making sure their pets were well cared for, exercised, fed, and loved while they were away. Families know me as approachable, responsible, and genuinely invested in the wellbeing of the kids and pets I care for. I bring heart, structure, and flexibility to every home I step into, and I’m always ready to help however I can.

I am a 49-year-old bilingual Spanish-English mother and a legal permanent resident. I hold university degrees from both the United States and abroad, and I bring a fun, calm, and responsible approach to working with children. I have raised three children, now aged 15, 27, and 29. I began babysitting well before becoming a parent, when I cared for my cousin’s baby from six months old for nearly a year while my cousin was undergoing intensive medical treatment. For the past two years, I have cared for toddlers and children through word of mouth, and I am now registering with this platform. I enjoy reading to children, discovering music together, and spending time at the park. I take cues from children and adapt to their interests and play. I am calm and resourceful in emergencies or unexpected situations and use good judgment. In addition to childcare, I also offer: - Driving children and seniors to and from appointments, activities, and errands - Meal preparation - Pet sitting for dogs and cats
