A little bit about me

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!

Hi! My name is Carly. I’m 18 years old and currently studying Early Childhood Education at the University of South Carolina. I love working with kids and have a passion for helping them learn, grow, and have fun.

In my free time, I enjoy shopping, going to workout classes, and reading, but caring for children is what I’m most excited about. With my background in early childhood education, I bring patience, creativity, and a genuine love for kids to every babysitting job.

I’d be more than happy to help out and provide meals, playtime, homework help, and getting the kids to bed.
