A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Natalie, a rising sophomore at Ole Miss home in Raleigh for the summer and looking for a wonderful family to support. I have around five years of babysitting and nannying experience with children of all ages, including infants and toddlers, and I genuinely love working with kids.

I’m patient, dependable, and very hands-on, and I enjoy keeping children engaged through outdoor play, crafts, games, reading, and other age-appropriate activities. I’m comfortable with diaper changes, bottle feeding, naps, bedtime routines, meal prep, and helping keep children’s spaces clean and organized.

Families would describe me as warm, organized, easy to communicate with, and someone who creates a safe, fun, and positive environment for children. I’m CPR/First Aid trained, have reliable transportation, am comfortable around pets, and have a very flexible schedule this summer. 😊
