Hi! My name is Cassidy, and I’m currently in school majoring in Biology Pre-Medicine. I’ve always been around kids, growing up as the oldest with lots of younger cousins who I helped care for, which taught me patience and responsibility early on. I also worked with kids throughout high school, so I’m comfortable creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment for them. I’ve tutored kids as well. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and helping out however I can! I am CPR and AED certified!

Hey families! 👋 I’m Janiyah, and I absolutely love working with kids! I’ve been caring for little ones for a few years now from babies to toddlers and up and it’s truly one of my favorite things to do. I enjoy keeping kids happy, safe, and having fun, whether that’s playing games, reading stories, or getting creative with crafts. I’m responsible, patient, and easygoing, and I always try to make sure kids feel comfortable and cared for. I can’t wait to meet your family and help out whenever you need an extra hand! 💛

I love to teach kids but in a fun way that they understand. I believe in positive guidance to teach the child acceptable behavior and self control, not punishment.
