A little bit about me

I am a freshman at the University of South Carolina seeking a summer nanny position in Charleston, ideally in a live-in role. I am originally from Richmond, Virginia, and have family in the Charleston area.

I have several years of hands-on childcare experience with children ranging from 8 weeks to 11 years old. During my junior and senior years of high school, I worked at a childcare facility where I built a strong foundation in safety, organization, and age-appropriate care. I also nannied for a family with an infant throughout my senior year and continue to support them during school breaks, a relationship I greatly value.

Additionally, I cared for a 3- and 6-year-old over the summer, managing daily routines, driving them to camps, and planning engaging activities such as pool days, games, and outdoor play. I regularly babysit for multiple families and genuinely enjoy becoming a trusted and consistent presence in children’s lives.

I have an undergraduate degree in biology, with minors in chemistry and outdoor adventure leadership. I have experience babysitting, nannying, and working as a summer camp counselor. I have my CPR (infant through adult) and basic first aid certifications, as well as a wilderness first responder certification. I love to do crafts and outdoor activities with kids to engage their minds. I also have experience tutoring in many subjects with a variety of ages, so I’m happy to help kids with homework or workbooks as well! I am happy to drive kids to school or activities, but will want to discuss mileage and liability. Also more than willing to complete a background check or driving history!
