Hello,
My name is Faith, and I’m reaching out regarding your post looking for someone with childcare experience who can also help with light cleaning. I believe I would be a great fit for what you’re looking for.
I have been providing childcare since I was 15 years old, and I am now 23, giving me over eight years of hands-on experience caring for children of different ages. My experience includes supervising children, helping with daily routines, engaging them in age-appropriate activities, and ensuring a safe, supportive, and positive environment. I’m also comfortable assisting with light cleaning and tidying related to childcare needs.
I can provide a reference upon request, and I am also able to provide child abuse clearance documentation if that would be helpful for your peace of mind.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I would love the opportunity to talk further and see if I might be a good match for your family’s needs.
I am also willing to get cpr/first aid certified this month

I have worked with my special needs cousin for 7 months as his after-school baby sitter. I took care of him prior but only as a family member. His special needs are very specific so I do not have generalized training. He has a special diet that I follow and learned, as well as emergency care. He has mobile challenges as well so I help him dress and walk. I bathe him, potty train him, take him on outings, and help with speech therapy. I have no cpr certification but have taken a couple classes and know the basic motions. I am a current high-school student, but am very responsible.
