Stella Walters

I'm Stella! I'm an experienced nanny looking for a family to work for in/around the Columbia, SC area. I am a grad student pursuing Christian faith-based counseling. I would love to help incorporate faith into your child's life (songs, stories, prayer) if this is something you desire.
I have nanny experience with light house cleaning, dishes, cooking, laundry, diaper changing, driving the children, and running errands. I have experience with overnights and would be open to a live-in nanny situation as well.
I am looking for 30+ hours a week. Ideally I would like to do full-time but could make 25 hours minimum work. I look forward to connecting with you!

Hello! My name is Ayla Roschel. I am currently seeking both a job and a place to live. I have been living with my grandparents because both of my parents are not around and have not been since I was a child. I do not have any experience in this field but I am a quick learner and careful listener. I am availabe in the evenings daily. I currently work at a restaurant but the hours are not consistent enough for me to support myself. I unfortunately cannot drive due to Nystagmus but I would be very grateful if you gave me a chance for this job. Please feel free to contact me at [email hidden]

Allison Hidalgo
Columbia$15/hr  |  5 years experience
Hi! My name is Allison, I’m 22 and just graduated with a degree in Geoscience and Computer Science. I’m starting my master’s program at the University of Georgia this fall and looking for babysitting or nannying work over the summer.

I’ve been babysitting since I was a freshman in high school and have experience caring for children from infants to middle school age, though I’ve primarily worked with little ones under four. I’ve also worked as a part-time nanny during college. I’m comfortable helping with sleep training, potty training, homework, light cleaning, and meal prep.

I genuinely love spending time with kids and aim to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment for them to grow and thrive. I’d love to connect and see how I can help your family this summer!

Greeting I am a non smoker healthy comsumer very conscious of our earth.
I adore children ! I think our little citizen
are our best attribute.
We must keep them safe and love them gingerly.
Teach them not just rotely allow creativity
and let them sense their opinion matters
cause it really does .
Nuture and provide a canvas for growth - stimulation ,
I have taught children in various settings from working as a Nanny ,pre-k 2-5 year olds .
I worked with children that had challenges
and those that required special hands on
training .
My mindset is all children can and will learned .
We must instruct with continuity set great examples and earned their trust
The CHILD all are uniquely perfect .
And we must respond with that mind set
