A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Daniela, and I am a patient, dependable 18-year-old looking to grow my professional experience as a nanny. My background includes a dedicated three-month period caring for children in a sensitive situation—including a child with special needs—which helped me develop a calm, adaptable, and gentle caregiving style. While I am particularly experienced with sensitive children, I enjoy working with all personalities and am most comfortable with kids between the ages of 3 and 9.

As a responsible student, I am happy to provide academic support and homework help alongside engaging in creative play and preparing basic meals. I am fully committed to following your specific instructions and household rules to ensure your children have a consistent and safe routine. I’m looking for a family that values honesty and a steady hand!

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Kayleigh, and I recently moved to the area from Charleston, SC. I wanted to introduce myself and share a bit about my background.

Working with children has always been my passion. I began babysitting at age 12, studied Early Childhood Development, and have nearly 15 years of experience in childcare. I’ve worked with infants, kindergarten-age children, and after-school programs for ages 7–10, as well as teaching gymnastics after care programs.

What I love most about being a nanny is being part of a child’s growth and learning—watching them discover something new is truly special to me. I especially enjoy caring for infants. While I don’t have children of my own, nurturing and supporting little ones is something I genuinely love.

I am currently CPR and First Aid certified, including infant training. I feel I could be a great fit for your family and would love the opportunity to meet in person.

Thank you so much for your time and consideration.
Warmly,
Kayleigh
