A little bit about me

I am a responsible and energetic childcare provider with several years of experience working with children in both nanny and daycare settings. I have spent the past three summers working as a nanny and previously worked at a daycare for four years, where I developed strong skills in supervising children, creating engaging activities, and maintaining a safe and positive environment.

I am currently a college student in Florida but spend my summers in New York City, where my mom lives, and I am looking for a summer nanny position. In addition to my childcare background, I worked as a lifeguard and was a Division I athlete, which has helped me develop strong leadership, responsibility, and safety awareness. I enjoy staying active with kids, planning fun activities, and creating a supportive environment where children feel safe and encouraged.

I am dependable, organized, and passionate about working with families to help children grow, learn, and have fun.

A little bit about me

I’m originally from Virginia and have been caring for children for most of my life. Growing up in a big family gave me plenty of experience helping with younger kids, and it naturally led me to babysitting over the years. I’m especially close with my brother, who is on the autism spectrum, which has given me a lot of firsthand experience supporting children who may need a little extra patience, understanding, and care. I truly enjoy creating a safe, positive, and supportive environment where kids can feel comfortable being themselves.
