Hi! My name is Lhiea and Iβm 21 years old. Iβm currently a senior nursing student graduating in December 2025. I also work as an Emergency Medical Technician in a hospital setting, so I am comfortable staying calm under pressure and responding quickly in any situation. Iβm BLS-certified and have hands-on experience caring for children from clinical rotations, including infants through age 5.I also used to volunteer at my local library, helping children with arts and crafts, which taught me how to keep kids engaged, creative, and safe. Iβm comfortable providing care for both children and seniors. I can drive, cook, assist with routines, communicate well, and adapt easily. Safety, patience, and reliability are extremely important to me, and I always strive to create a warm, friendly environment for the families I work with.

Hi!! Iβm Jackie, a college student majoring in Social Work. I have one year of babysitting experience in the past along with a semester of a course at my high school titled preschool where I practiced providing a safe and fun learning environment for kids. I really enjoy playing, whether itβs competitive games or creative activities. I also enjoy kids movies and games which keeps me connected to a fun mindset. I believe these interests reflect the kind of energy youβd like in someone who works with children or in a playful environment.
