Hello, I’m Deanna! Currently headed into my Junior year of college as a Biochemistry and Public Health major. I’ve had a plethora of chilcare jobs including; camp counselor, afterschool counselor, tutor, and of course babysitter. Outside of family and friends I began working as a sitter during college. My general duties included picking up the kids from school and escorting them home, preparing snacks and meals on late nights, assisting with homework, getting ready for bedtime, and my favorite, playing games and having fun! I am CPR and First Aid certified. I also have experience working with children that deal with allergies or other dietary restrictions. I would love to work with your family, connect with your kids, and assist in any way I can.

Hi! I’m Mya Leon I’m a college student who’s always had a love for children and a natural instinct for caregiving. I’ve helped raise my younger siblings and have cared for kids of all ages in both family and professional settings. I also worked as a party hostess, where I kept children entertained, safe, and engaged during birthday celebrations — an experience that taught me how to manage groups of kids with patience, energy, and fun!When I’m not babysitting, I love to read, go on walks, stay active, and learn new things — whether that’s through school, books, or just new experiences. I’m a very hands-on, positive person, and I enjoy being part of a child’s development through play, learning, and building routines.I’m responsible, dependable, and genuinely love creating safe and joyful environments for kids. Whether it’s helping with homework, prepping snacks, tidying up, or heading to the park or library, I’m always happy to support families however I can!

Hi! I’m Genesis. I’ve worked in multiple daycare centers and school programs, so I’ve had experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to pre-K. I’ve always loved working with kids and helping them learn, grow, and have fun in a safe environment. I’m patient, dependable, and caring, and I enjoy keeping kids engaged through play, reading, crafts, outdoor activities, and other fun activities. I speak both English and Spanish, and I also have knowledge of basic American Sign Language (ASL), which helps me communicate with children and families with different needs. Whether it’s helping with meals, naps, homework, or bedtime routines, I’m always happy to help. My goal is to make sure every child feels safe, happy, and comfortable while giving parents peace of mind.
