Hi! My name is Bella Simoes, and I'd love to get to know you and your kid(s)! I'm from Shawnee, Kansas, and I attended Saint James Academy in Lenexa. I've always loved getting to work with children, whether it's in a kid's zone at my gym or teaching swim lessons, I've enjoyed getting to engage whenever I can. I plan on going into Elementary Education as well, so getting these opportunities would be wonderful! I can't wait to meet you:).
Hello, My name is Deanne and I live in Leavenworth KS, I am 21yrs old and I love pets and kids alike!!
My experience with children starts with being the oldest of 8 children as well as nannying/ babysitting for families and friends when they need it. I also have been serving and volunteering in my church's nursery and kid hallway since I was 12! I also have experience with pets since I grew up with dogs and cats all of my life but recently I have dove into the realm of poultry/waterfowl so that's a bonus! I also have worked in a doggy daycare for a couple years so I know the difference in right and wrong behaviors/actions and I love going on walks with pets
One of my hobbies is cooking so I can cook as much food for a meal or as little for a snack! I love being outside and talking walks and doing park runs, I am not that brilliant when it comes to crafts but I can come up with some ideas to help entertain your littles
Hello! My name is Sam. I am aiming to expand my experience working with younger children to better myself and my future! I would love to learn tips and tricks to get started.
Thank You!!
