A little bit about me

I am a Music Education major in the voice program, planning to start student teaching in the Fall and graduating in December! I have experience with all ages in daycare, elementary/middle/high schools, and overnight summer camps. I provide excellent, safe, holistic childcare to all ages! I am passionate about education and literacy, and I believe in the ability of music to advance literacy, social, behavioral, and critical thinking skills in all ages. My skills include great communication with children and parents, safety always, and empathetic care. I am confident with diapers, snacks, homework, meaningful play, and anything else your child needs. I am a traveler and have volunteered in classrooms in both Italy and Spain. I'm a Spanish learner and feel confident navigating language differences!

I have completed background checks for New Hanover County Schools and other nanny services, and can share upon request!

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Hailey, I’m relocating from the stunning mountains of Colorado to the beautiful coast of Wilmington, NC this September. Nature has always been my grounding force, and I can’t wait to trade in snow-capped peaks for sandy toes and ocean breezes.

Professionally, I’ve spent the last several years nurturing and guiding little ones as a live-in nanny and both a preschool and infant teacher. Working with children has taught me patience, creativity, and the joy of seeing the world through curious eyes.

Outside of the classroom, I’ve proudly served as a volunteer firefighter and have been pursuing training in EMT school — a path that’s deepened my commitment to helping others in meaningful, hands-on ways. Whether it’s offering a comforting hand to a child or stepping into action during an emergency, I thrive when I’m supporting my community.

Excited for this next chapter by the sea and whatever opportunities come with it!
