About Akeelah
Experience: 3 yrs
Hi! My name is Akeelah Thornton, and I'm an 18-year-old childcare provider with 1-2 years of experience. Coming from a big family, caring for little ones has always been natural for me, and I truly enjoy it. I plan daily, age appropriate activities that help children learn, grow, and have fun while supporting their development. I'm certified in CPR and First Aid after being self taught and feel confident handling emergencies. I don't own a car but have reliable transportation and pride myself on punctuality if I'm not on time, I'm early. As a future dance and theater major, I love staying active, making playtime and movement-filled days exciting. I also help with snacks, meal prep, light cleaning, laundry, diaper changes, bottle feedings, and more. I'm loving, patient, and dedicated to creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for every child in my care. References available upon request. Availability: Mon-Fri, 6 AM-6 p.m. (flexible) Rate: $17-$20/hr

She was absolutely amazing Extremely reliable and trustworthy she was never late and always communicated clearly My little one instantly bonded with her, and she always came up with fun, creative activities that kept my child engaged and happy. Beyond just caring for my child she was patient, nurturing and genuinely invested in their well being and development. It’s so clear she loves what she does, and it gave me complete peace of mind knowing my little one was in such capable hands. I can’t recommend her highly enough!
