A little bit about me

Welcome! I’m [Your Name] — a caring, experienced nanny and early childhood educator.

I’m 28 years old and have spent the past five years working as a kindergarten teacher, helping little ones learn, grow, and discover their world with confidence. Before that (and still today!), I’ve cared for children of all ages, from newborns to teens. Thanks to a big, close-knit family that taught me the art of patience, play, and genuine connection.

I bring both professional teaching experience and a lifetime of hands-on childcare to every family I work with. Whether your child needs creative playtime, homework help, or a calm, nurturing presence, I’m here to support their development and make daily life a little smoother for you.

Hi! Well for beginners my name is Chloe Vansickel, and I’m currently living in Spencer, Iowa. I have another job in the lakes but I wanted to find a local job in the area to do on the side. Currently I’m taking a gap year from college to figure out what I want to do. I am not nanny certified on record and I have had CPR training I just haven’t renewed it. I have two younger siblings I take care of for the past two years. I adore them so much and I love taking care of them. I was looking for online jobs and I happened to stumble across this website!
