Nanny Kelsey

A little bit about me

Hi! I'm Kelsey - I'm 30 and a proud mom to an awesome 12-year-old boy. I've spent the last 11 years teaching kids from infant through pre-K, and I've absolutely loved it. I have credits in early childhood and elementary. I also have took licensed courses required by law. Teaching has been such a rewarding experience, but I've recently decided to take a more hands-on role by becoming a nanny.

I'm excited to focus on one family and build a close connection while still bringing in all the fun and learning I loved as a teacher. I make learning enjoyable and love finding creative ways to keep kids engaged and growing.

I'd love the chance to bring my experience, energy, and love for kids into a home where I can really make a difference. Feel free to reach out with any questions!

Nanny Charlotte

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Charlotte, I am a 23-year-old full-time college student studying to become a School Psychologist, and I work part-time at a learning center for children ages 0-8.

I am originally from Oslo, Norway and moved to the greater St. Louis area in 2021 to live with my American husband. I have been speaking English fluently since age 13, but most people who meet me can't tell I'm from out of the country!

I have been passionate about children and child development for as long as I can remember. As a psychology student and pre-school teacher, I have had the joy of applying my coursework in real-time to better understand and connect with the exceptional minds of young children.

I look forward to getting to know you!

Nanny Aubrey

8 years experience

A little bit about me

My name is Aubrey! I have been working with children for several years. I took a child development class in Highschool I really enjoyed! I am a college student going to school to Pursue teaching. What I love about children is seeing that little light switch on when they learn new things, and being able to know they are in good hands when not around parents. I grew up with a fairly close family and helping take care of the kids. I do have experience with special needs children so that is never a problem! I love reading and hiking, swimming in the summer. ☀️
