Hi Families!My name is Payton P, I'm 20 years old, and I'm currently working on my Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) degree, with plans to graduate online this October. I've spent the past few years working with babies and have always loved caring for little ones. As one of the oldest in my family, I helped take care of my younger siblings whenever needed, which gave me a lot of hands-on experience.I'm CPR certified, have great references, and completed training while working at BDLC, where I cared for infants as young as 2-3 months up to about 18 months old. I currently have availability three days a week since I'm doing an internship on the other two days.I'd love the chance to help out and care for your little ones! Let me know if you'd like to chat more!

Hi! I’m Doménica, I’m 19 years old, and I’m currently studying nursing with the goal of becoming a pediatric nurse. I really enjoy being around children and creating a fun, safe, and comfortable environment for them. I currently work with kids in schools, so I have experience keeping them engaged, helping with homework, playing games, doing activities, and making sure they’re having a good time. I’m patient, caring, responsible, and always happy to get creative and find activities that kids enjoy. I also have my own car, so I can be flexible when it comes to transportation. I’d love the opportunity to meet your family and take care of your little ones! ❤️

I have primarily been a stay at home mom and house manager for the past 19 years. My part time work and volunteer experience during those years involved roles at my children’s schools, as well as working for a local children’s theater group. I would love to continue caring for children while being a part of their growth. I realize first hand how difficult it can be to juggle so much as a parent, and I would be thrilled to make logistical challenges easier for families! I am currently looking for a long-term position.
