Asia C., Child Care in Columbia, SC 29229 with 6 years of paid experience

My name is Asia Workman, I have been around children most of my life and I do very well with them. I started babysitting the summer of 2018 with two girls and a boy. But, my previous experience with children, I have worked at the summer camp at Polo Road Park since 2015 and I have worked in the school district as an instructional assistant with special need children. I previously worked on Fort Jackson at the CDC for. 5 years. I currently am a teacher in Richland One. I love to babysit because I love being able to teach children new things. Also, for me it doesn't even feel like I'm going into work, it feels more like a hobby or lifestyle than a job. I am very reliable by doing what is asked of me, punctual always on time to work, respectful of the type of children I am working with and ecstatic to be with the children.

Hello, my name is Kendra. I have been working with children for 10+ years. My key for your child and/or children is to be consistent with development, and nurturing. Activities that I enjoy are music, reading, arts&crafts, and nature walks. It is essential that I guide a child to identify within themselves as well as the world. Every child has a right to be cared for by someone whom they feel secure with. I strive to make a difference in the development of your child's life. Pay rates are negotiable. Thank You.

I can’t recommend Katrina highly enough! This was the first time I’d gone out in a long while because I’ve never really felt comfortable leaving my 7-year-old daughter with anyone. She has autism and is very clingy, so finding someone I can truly trust is incredibly important. From the moment Katrina arrived, she put my mind at ease. She was punctual, kept me updated throughout the evening, and reassured me that she would call me straight away if there were any issues. That level of communication meant so much to me. When I got home, my daughter was clean, tucked up in bed, and Katrina had even taken the time to read her a bedtime story. The next morning, my daughter told me how lovely Katrina was and said she couldn’t wait to see her again, which says everything. Thank you, Katrina, for making what could have been a very stressful evening so easy. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and trustworthy babysitter!

My son went to Crayons & Lollipops day care as a child. I could not have asked for a more wonderful experience him! My family was met with open arms and love from the instant we spoke with Brandi. It has been 18 years since my son was preschool age, but we have maintained the same trust and "family" relationship as the first day we met. My son learned so much when entrusted in her care. Anyone looking for childcare would benefit from Brandi's experience, kindness, and passion for helping to raise and educate tomorrow's leaders!
