Hi there! I'm Loriann. I have been caring for children for 3 years as a babysitter. I have a lot of experience working with infants and toddlers, and I also spent. I truly love working with young kids, and I approach each child as an individual who I get to help grow and teach.

Nothing makes me happier than running into someone who I used to babysit and remembering all the fun times we had together! I'd love to meet you and get to know your children.

Hi,
My name is Alphea and I used to be a Secretary for 10 years. Although I was never fully a full time Nanny, I was able to care for my niece's daughter and also I'm experienced in taking care of kids, since I'm already a fabulous grandmother. I love kids and I would not let you or them down if you hire me. I can use her as a reference. I can also be flexible with time. Light house chores for the kids and meal prep for the kids. Reach out if you have any other questions.
Thanks..
Alphea
