Hi! My name is Samantha, and I am a college student studying nursing in the Bay Area. I currently work as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), where I care for people, help with daily activities, and make sure they feel safe and supported.While I have never worked as a babysitter before, I would love the opportunity to gain experience and work with children. I have taken child development classes in college, which have taught me about childrenβs growth, behavior, and developmental needs. I am responsible, patient, dependable, and enjoy helping others.In addition to my CNA experience, I help my mom with her house cleaning business, which has taught me the importance of being hardworking, organized, and trustworthy. I am excited to learn, build relationships with families, and provide a safe, caring, and positive environment for children.I look forward to meeting your family and becoming someone you can count on!

I have extensive babysitting experience, which began in high school and continued throughout my college career. Since high school, I have been dedicated to providing high-quality childcare, and I have spent every summer of my college years working as a nanny. This ongoing commitment has allowed me to develop a wide range of skills and a deep understanding of children's needs. In my role as a babysitter and nanny, I provide one-on-one care to meet the physical, emotional, and social needs of the children I look after. This includes ensuring their safety, supporting their emotional development, and engaging them in activities that promote their social skills. I am also proactive in contributing to household tasks such as cleaning, cooking, housekeeping, and laundry, ensuring a well-maintained and comfortable environment for the family. Additionally, I am responsible for transporting children to and from school and their extracurricular activities, ensuring they are always where they need to be safely and on time. My experience also extends to traveling with a nanny family out of the country to provide care, demonstrating my ability to adapt and maintain my high standards of childcare in various settings.

Iβve had a passion for working with kids since I was very young. I started volunteering in the nursery at my church when I was 14 and I found my passion for infant care. I have also coached gymnastics for the last 6 years where I worked with children of all ages from 4-18 years old helping them not only learning gymnastics skills but develop confidence and pertinent physical developmental skills. A little bit about me is that I love to sing and I also love weightlifting and pilates. Some activities I enjoy most with children are singing and playing musical instruments together as well as going on walks and playing outside!

Hi, Iβm Phenix. Iβm a former preschool teacher with additional experience supporting students in elementary, middle school, and high school settings. I also work as a tutor and empowerment coach, so Iβm comfortable helping with homework, routines, and gentle guidance when needed.
