Welcome to my profile! My name is Meshayla and I have been working with children for as long as I can remember. Growing up I was an only child but I have lots of cousins that are much younger than me. I found my love for taking care of babies all of those years ago. Nothing is better than seeing the smiles and giggles of a little one. One of my cousins was born with down syndrome and had MANY medical issues throughout his life. Even though I was young, I helped to raise him. He had heart surgery as well as an NG feeding tube. I learned so many things to help care for his special needs and make sure he was incredibly loved and healthy. He is a big reason why I fell in love with child care. I gained more experience as I got older as well. Read more My high school had a childcare center for the teen moms in our district. We were given the opportunity to work in the childcare center for elective credit. We had all different ages from 4 weeks old to 4 years old. It truly was the very best part of my day. No matter what was going on in life it all melted away when I saw their happy faces. The director of the child care center saw how much the kids loved me, and how i genuinely loved being there. So much so that she took me under her wing and helped me to become a master soother :) I knew it wasn't going to be a class I took once and never had again. I worked it out with the school so i would take extra classes for two years so that I could keep having the childcare in my class schedule. It was so bitter sweet when I finally graduated and had to say goodbye. I kept in touch with the director many years after. Unfortunately she passed away last year, but she will never be forgotten. I have her to thank for my vast knowledge when it comes to infants and children. After becoming an adult I did many babysitting/ nanny jobs for family friends as well as taking care of my friends babies. I have experience with all ages from freshly newborn babies all the way up to teenagers. The last 6 years i have been working in customer service and I have realized how much I miss being around the little baby toes and big gummy smiles. I have dogs myself and am comfortable with any pets you may have. My only objection would be uncaged spiders lol. I have been certified in CPR and first aid in the past but I'm not sure if they are still valid at this time. I would be willing to renew them if needed. Thanks for viewing my profile, I hope I can be a great fit for your families needs.
