Hello!! My name is Aly I am 20 years old, I have a 6 almost 7-year-old Nephew that I've been consistently able to watch over the years, I love kids and love to do arts and crafts. I also have done carpooling so I do have a reliable car. Currently I pick up kids from school, but my availability should open up after summer starts. I have taken CPR/first aid classes :) I also love pets!! I have a 100lbs Pitbull (he's a big baby), two cats (People call me the cat whisperer), and I have a pet turtle named Todd :)

Abby came through in a pinch and was pretty awesome to our kiddos. Watching her interact with them and seeing their faces light up, showed a genuine interest and care for all involved. Wasn't intimidated by our fur babies and handled tantrums and a bad day with ease and poise!

I am a mom of 2 grown sons. I miss my children being little and enjoy other people's children. I am the oldest of 6 and have helped raise children my whole life! I am educated and looking for supplemental income while I pursue my passion. I enjoy children. Playing games with them, reading stories, and helping teach them. I started babysitting when I was 10 and as a responsible teenager was in high demand and booked many months before highly wanted dates. I have nieces and nephews and I am the favorite Auntie! I believe in positive motivation for all children. If you have a child who would like to learn to sew, I'd be more than happy to teach while caring for your child(ren). I am also looking for Saturday night bookings so please ask and inquire!

I have known Robin since middle school, which now is approximately 40 years ago. The things I know about Robin are these. She is kind, soft-spoken, patient, reliable, creative and prayerful. Her home is kept tidy and is always a place that welcomes. She raised two sons of her own spectacularly, and is now looking forward to being a precious Grandma. She runs her own business with great success. She is a faithful friend and a trustworthy confidant. She cares deeply for those the Lord leads her to, she loves them with the heart of Christ. There is zero doubt that any child placed in her care will be safe & secure, have fun & experience joyful moments, but most importantly will be cherished and loved.

I have been babysitting for as long as I can remember. I have always looked after family members and taken care of my baby cousins when my family was in a dilemma. My first job babysitting outside of family was in 7th grade when I would watch the kids in my neighborhood (ages between 4-7) after school. In high school I was able to drive and began babysitting a lot more because I could travel to different locations, I become more experienced. I worked during all times of the day and even late nights. Working at the YMCA gave me much understanding in kid s communication techniques. I volunteered with special needs kids in the Program, giving them a mentor to talk to on regular bases, and Challengers Baseball Program, teaching special needs children how to play baseball and understand life altering skills. I volunteered at Elementary Schools, teaching kids the importance of health and physical activity. I enjoy playing games with kids and especially love crafting!

Hi! I'm Elizabeth. I love kids and have been involved in childcare for about 20 years now. I started babysitting when I was 12 and continued to babysit throughout the years since then including on the side of my regular job. I eventually started nannying fulltime and have worked for a few different families. I previously worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant for many years and went through First Aid training as well as CPR certification. I've assisted in the church nursery as well as helped with VBS in the summers. I previously worked as both an assistant and head counselor at a camp for a number of years, which I greatly enjoyed. I come from a large family so my experience in child care goes beyond that.

Cannot recommend highly enough! Elizabeth was our full time nanny for over 3 years! She is infinitely patient, very reliable (wasn't sick even once), loving and kind. My children adore her and we consider her one of the family now. She is capable and competent with all ages including newborn care (having kept both my children from newborn phase up), very comfortable with facilitating play, creative crafts, staying active and minimizing screen time and potty training!

As a nanny I have over 10 years experience. I have worked as many as 10 hours to 40 hours per week caring for infants to preteens. Duties consisted of child care, meal preparation, homework assistance and having fun. I enjoy story time, arts and crafts, and walks to the park. Although my main duty would be childcare I do not have any objections to light housekeeping chores. I bring a nanny bag filled with games, arts and crafts. I have references, background check, CPR/First Aid Child and Infant certified, childcare certified and have reliable transportation. Children are our greatest asset and a reflection of ourselves. With lots of love, patience, and guidance, we can see them grow into responsible adults. Please contact me if you are interested in meeting. Thank you, Linda.

Hello, my name is Abigayle and I have been working with children for over the past 6 years and I love it! I also have experience with newborns, babies and toddlers. I am still currently working as a substitute teacher for Schools, but I'm still available some days. I'm very familiar with patiently assessing the needs of the children I care for while at the same time making a comfortable and fun environment. My experience as a teacher is also helpful for any children that may need some extra help with school work. I love to cook and I'm happy to clean. I am certified in CPR and First Aid, and I have an AA degree in Liberal Arts. During my college years I took classes in Early Childhood Development. I hope I can bring has much joy to your home as I get from helping others.

Abby is a genuine, responsible, and capable childcare provider with exceptional manners and intellect. It's evident that her expertise comes from her sincere love for children and her experience (As a substitute teacher) doesn't hurt either. My son absolutely adores her. When Abigayle is around, a big smile on my little boy's face is not far behind. 10/10!
