A little bit about me

My name is Raven, and I am a responsible, caring, and motivated 16-year-old with a genuine love for children. I am seeking a nanny position where I can provide a safe, supportive, and positive environment for kids to grow and feel cared for.
I have hands-on experience helping raise two children, which has taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of consistency and emotional support. Through this experience, I’ve helped with daily routines, supervised playtime, assisted with meals, and supported their emotional and developmental needs. Caring for children isn’t just something I do—it’s something I truly enjoy and take seriously.
I am attentive, reliable, and good at staying calm in stressful situations. I believe children thrive when they feel safe, understood, and encouraged, and I always aim to be someone they can trust and feel comfortable around. I’m also happy to help with light household tasks related to childcare and to follow any routines or rules set by parents.

A little bit about me

Hi!! I'm Anna, and I am a college student at FIT, and I moved here this August! I've been babysitting since I was 11 for children around my little town in NH. As I got older, I started babysitting a family with two children. One child was a toddler with autism, and the other was 7 years old and a devout soccer player. I loved having a more committed relationship with them while working around my academic schedule! I have spent my whole life in athletics and arts, so I am excited to attend and support at any event. I am an outgoing individual and love adventuring and meeting new people. I am so excited to meet you and your family!!
