A little bit about me

Hello, I am Boomer, I am from a small village in Central Pennsylvania. My upbringing was unique because I was raised with 10 other children. Growing up around many younger children inspired a strong sense of responsibility for their well-being. I learned to be patient with them, taught them to do tasks independently, and helped them understand their emotions and those of others around them. As a result of my care for others, I find the well-being, education, and ethics of future generations of utmost importance. I am empathetic and generous, but I run a tight ship. My main goal is to leave a positive, lasting impression with the kids I meet and care for.

A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Tamar Friedmann. I've been working with kids for a very long time (majority of my life), and I love every part of it! I'm currently a full time uni student, studying to be a librarian. My interests vary, but I really love readings, as well as long nature walks. I'm open to nanny-ing for any age, although I do have particular experience with younger kids (think 0-3). I'm a bit of a world traveler, and I'm always up for new experiences! I'm a good driver (I come with a car!), and a pretty good cook too, as well as quick learner if other skills are needed. Kids are a passion of mine, and I believe the more the merrier! :)

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Zephyr, I'm 20 years old and I was born and raised in Maine! I’ve been a nanny and babysitter for about four years. I’m a responsible, motivated, and dependable individual who genuinely enjoys working with children and being a positive, stable presence in their daily lives. I’m calm, organized, and very respectful of household routines and boundaries. I understand how important trust, communication, and consistency are when welcoming someone into your home, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m looking for a live-in position because I value structure, reliability, and being fully present and supportive for the family I work with. I’m happy to help with childcare, daily routines, light household tasks related to the children, and maintaining a safe and positive environment. I’m flexible, quick to learn, and always willing to step in where help is needed! If you have any questions or are interested in speaking more, feel free to reach out! :)
