A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Lucy. I’m 19 years old and I’ve been working in childcare for 3+ years. I have experience working with infants, toddlers, and preschool aged children. I have my first aid and CPR certification as well as my CDA certification. I have a 7 month old boy of my own and I’m currently working part-time as a toddler teacher.

Nanny Laura

10+ years experience

A little bit about me

Hi, I'm Laura. My childcare experience began with taking care of younger siblings and eventually moved on to neighbors and finally, when I was old enough to drive, branched out to families all over town and in several other towns. I worked at a child care center for two years after graduating high school. I have experience with children of all ages, newborns to preteens, and have taken care of twins, triplets, and children with special needs. I've done overnights, vacations, and weekends away with families. I have taken care of children from multiple families at once (up to eight), and I've gone along on all types of outings just to be an extra set of hands. I really, truly enjoy spending time with children whether we're on an outdoor adventure together, snuggled up reading a book, or talking to each other in silly voices. I have thirty years of experience, I am reliable, trustworthy, and have many great references. Hopefully you'll consider letting me be a part of your child's life.

Nanny Brooklyn

4 years experience

A little bit about me

Hi there! My name is Brookes, I’m 23 years old, and I have always had a passion for caring for children! I began babysitting as my first job at 13 years old, and from there, worked in positions ranging from teachers’ aid, to tutor, to full-time nanny. I’ve worked with/for many splendid families, within a wide variety of dynamics, and I’ve never met a child I didn’t adore. I strive to acknowledge and celebrate each child’s unique needs, personality, and communication style, to best reach their little brains and hearts. I entirely believe in treating children like people- the responsibility of fostering growth and joy in a tiny human is sacred to me, and I’ve recognized it since I can remember. Kiddos light up the world in my book, and caring for them is an honor and a privilege.
Additional Info- CPR certified, but I must get my certification renewed. I am, however, informed and experienced in the Heimlich maneuver on both children and adults, and basic/basic emergency first aid.
