Child Advocate

(1)
I studied Applied Developmental Psychology, with a focus on PreK-4 Education, through University of Pittsburgh School of Education. I minored in economics. I have earned a certificate in Infant and Toddler Care through the Child Development Association. I was a support educator at the Carriage House Children's Center and the Cyert Center. I also plan on earning an MEd in Elementary Education through University of Pittsburgh's online program as well a Certificate in Infant Mental Health. My interest in early childhood learning is multifaceted. I gained the interest and understanding in child development through coursework and through my work as an early childhood educator. Through my coursework, I have learned about the role education plays in the physical, social, and emotional development of young children. I have also learned that developing knowledge of the real world is affected by elementary school experiences, and I want to play a role in setting students up for success.

Preena is incredibly smart, responsible, and friendly. She stays on top of things and manages responsibility extremely well - possibly better than anyone I know. She's also wonderful with people and genuinely loves to care for kids.

Child Care Provider

I am a mother of one, but an aunt of 13 children of whom I've cared for, while growing up, on several occasions, and had a hand in raising. One of my accomplishments in life would be coaching both my niece's t-ball teams for two different seasons. I have a genuine love for and fascination with children. I believe they are all unique and special and each require different forms of nurturing. Most of my work experience is with seniors, but I have filled in for various nanny positions. I am CPR and first aid certified. I am fun, energetic, athletic, and extremely family oriented. I do volunteer work with my church, and my husband and I spend our free time supporting our 16-year-old son's love of sports; football, baseball, and dirt bike racing. I am a baseball and football booster mom. We also enjoy camping some weekends at the races. I like to run and will occasionally compete in 5Ks.

My name is NaQuisha I am a child care provider with all state regulated clearances in child care. I have more than 12 years' experience working with children as I have four of my own as well. I started my career working with children for friends, my family, even neighbors during the summer months. During that time, I realized my upbringing, personal disposition and special competencies were beneficial in helping, guiding and nurturing children in their formative years. Which lead me to further my education in become a pediatric psychologist. I believe the time I have invested in acquiring the necessary training, skills and certifications to become a better child care worker for any opportunities that present themselves. I look forward in providing my services professionally and to help your little one/ones grow.

She kept my daughter entertained for two whole days!! I'm very thankful that I found her. My daughter enjoyed her time with her and she was very patient and outgoing with her. I liked how she took her out the house for a few hours each day and got my daughter spending her energy! She's awesome and I'll definitely be using her again!

I have two younger siblings whom I have always taken care of growing up. Aside from that, starting from age 12 I babysat many families in my area. My past jobs included neighbors, friends of my little brother and sister, and referrals from families I had previously worked for, as well as now jobs that I have received through Care. com. I have babysat for up to 5 kids and a dog at once, and I feel comfortable with that number as well as pets. I have also had experience with ages anywhere from 6 months to 14. I have never had a family unsatisfied, and some kids from my past have now grown up and still love when they get to see me. I love getting to know and taking care of children, and I believe I am highly qualified to take care of yours whenever needed. I was a college student-athlete, at Vanguard University, and received my bachelors degree in Biology while playing volleyball. I will be starting graduate school in June. I would love to help out when I can and have fun with the kids!

Are you looking for childcare 3 days a week? Do you want your child to be loved and cared for like you would do? Do you live in the south hills/Upper Saint Clair area? Then message me. I'm willing to work with your changing schedule if need be. I will love your kids as my own. Teach them their ABC's, manners and about God. We can set up an appropriate space for virtual schooling if need be (please keep in mind I have a 17-month-old. I will not be able to sit with your child to make sure they are paying attention however I can help and check in etc). We will set up age appropriate sleeping arrangements, and I follow all safe sleep guidelines as recommended by the AAP. I live in a great neighborhood in Upper Saint Clair, with tons of kids constantly running around and playing (your child will always be supervised by me) and a fenced in back yard. I would prefer a family with 2 children so their schedules would be the same and children over the age of 2. Care is provided in my home

Kasey will treat your children as her own. All 3 of my kids absolutely adored her and would ask for her when she wasn't there. We still keep in touch even though we live across the country now. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better person to watch my children and I 100% recommend her.

Entertainer, Teacher, & Your Child's New Favorite Sitter!

(1)
I'm very laid back with lots of patience and the energy to keep your kids active, entertained, and learning! I have two younger siblings and more cousins than I can count! I've been helping watch after children since I was a child, and was babysitting two sets of siblings weekly by high school. In high school, I taught children's bible classes ages 2-10 through my mom's church. I'm an artist, a reader, and I love the outdoors! I've always gotten along really well with kids because I believe it's so important to treat them as whole humans who have feelings, needs, & wishes, and to never talk down to them! I'm looking for a family with 1-2 children (pets are a plus!) who need a sitter around 15-20 hours a week.

Sara has been fantastic with my two kids (5 yr & 3 months). I am working from home these days but it has been HUGE having Sara a few times a week. I get so much done with ZERO interruptions when she is here. My 5 year old is always disappointed when she leaves. And Sara has been wonderful with my infant as well - proactively putting him down for naps, feeding him and keeping him engaged while he's up. When there's a moment of down time, Sara is always looking to be helpful and finding something else to do whether it be cleaning something up or organizing. We hope to continue with Sara for as long as we can!
