A little bit about me

I’m looking for nannying jobs where I can really connect with kids and their families. I’ve been caring for children since I was young, from babysitting to working with toddlers in daycare. I loved the daycare energy, but with so many little ones at once, it was harder to build those deeper bonds. What excites me about nannying is the chance to give more one-on-one attention—reading stories, playing games, and helping kids feel safe, happy, and loved as they grow.

A little bit about me

As the oldest of 5, I essentially have a life-long experience in childcare. Throughout middle school and high school, my mom worked long hours at the hospital, and the care of the youngest 2 fell on me most of the time. I also did some paid babysitting for other families during that time. I also volunteered at Sunday school in middle school to take care of children during church. My CPR certification has expired, but I can always get it renewed. I can care for multiple children, clean, cook, drive, pet care, and more. I love children and always have gotten along with them; it comes naturally to me!
