A little bit about me

My name is Anna and I recently graduated from the University of Mississippi with a degree in Elementary Education. I am moving to Connecticut with my fiancé and am looking for a nannying position where I can become a reliable and positive part of a family’s daily life.

I have experience through first grade student teaching, daycare work, and babysitting. My background in education gave me experience with phonics, early literacy, arts and crafts, and creating engaging activities for children. I also love keeping kids active through parks, library programs, walks, and other fun activities.

I would describe myself as patient, dependable, calm, and easy to communicate with. I understand how important trust and consistency are for families, and I always want parents to feel confident that their children are being genuinely cared for and encouraged.

A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Mikayla!

I’ve been working with children since I was 16, and it’s truly something I love. I’ve had the opportunity to grow through many roles—starting as a summer camp counselor, then as a coach, and most recently as a developmental professional at the Boys and Girls Club. Each of these experiences has strengthened my skills and deepened my passion for helping kids learn, grow, and feel understood.

I’m known for being patient, energetic, and calm under pressure. Whether it’s helping with homework, creating fun games, or handling a tricky moment, I always focus on making kids feel seen and supported. I love reciprocating their energy and doing my best to validate their feelings in a positive, healthy way. Building trust with both kids and their families is important to me, and I take that responsibility seriously—while still having lots of fun along the way!
