Kennesha $19 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Kennesha. With over 10 years of dedicated experience caring for others, I bring a unique blend of professionalism, patience, and heartfelt commitment to childcare. My journey began in adult care, which deepened my compassion and understanding for individuals at all stages of life, and naturally extended to nurturing children. I have hands-on experience with every age group, from delicate infants to energetic school-age children. This has taught me the importance of adapting to each child's individual needs, fostering a safe environment for exploration, and supporting developmental milestones through engaging play and learning activities. Currently, I provide childcare out of my loving home. This setting allows me to offer a cozy, secure, and family-oriented atmosphere where your child will feel right at home. As a grandparent myself, I am also happily caring for my grandchildren, which means your little one will have the opportunity for positive social interaction in a small, familial group. My Credentials & Approach: · 10+ Years of combined experience in childcare and adult care. · Certified in First Aid and CPR, ensuring your child's safety is my top priority. · A holistic focus on emotional well-being, respectful communication, and age-appropriate activities. · A safe, clean, and child-proofed home environment designed for play and growth. I believe in partnering with parents to provide consistent, reliable, and nurturing care. I understand the trust you place in a caregiver, and I am committed to offering peace of mind while your child is in my care. I would love to connect to discuss how I can support your family's needs!

Fadumo $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Fadumo I am excited to start babysitting toddlers and teens are my specialty and bring my strong background in childcare to families in need of reliable support. I love driving and walking to parks and having long car drives. I also enjoy braiding hair and styling, it’s so peaceful to just bond over hair. I have a fear of cats but I have an even bigger fears of dogs. Growing up in a large family with many siblings, I gained extensive hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to teens. I consistently took on responsibilities such as supervising daily routines, helping with homework, and creating engaging activities that promote both learning and fun. This experience has not only strengthened my ability to manage multiple children at once, but also taught me the importance of patience, adaptability, and clear communication. I am confident that my nurturing personality, dependability, and proven childcare experience make me an excellent fit for families seeking a trustworthy caregiver.
