A little bit about me

Hello families! I am a childcare specialist with 10 (adult) years of experience. I currently work as a mental health professional for elementary students but will have daytime availability soon as I transition away from full-time work. In my work with kids, I prioritize creative play, social emotional development, and positive discipline strategies. I also embrace Montessori and Reggio Emilia approaches to learning and child development.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Sydney Chatelain, I am 20 years old and a NOLA native! I am currently a junior at LSU and have a lot of experience with caretaking! My caretaking experience includes not only babysitting/ nannying, but I have also worked at summer camps in the past for Jefferson Parish, as well as worked with special needs children at the camps. I live in Metairie and am willing to make a commute. My skills do not only include caretaking, but I also don't mind taking care of animals, light housekeeping (laundry, dishes, etc.), errands, and anything else! Thank you for taking the time to read my intro, I hope we can chat soon!

A little bit about me

Hello my name is Cienna. I just moved here from New Mexico where I taught dance to children of all ages. I have been babysitting and nannying for the past 6 years. We adopted my little brother when I was 15 years old and I took care of him from ages 1-6. I was a nanny to a 2 year old girl for a year. I would take her to daycare, pick her up, make her dinner, get her ready for bed, and put her to bed a few times a week. Needless to say I have years of experience with children. I love children and watching them grow into amazing people. I am flexible with my hours and willing to travel with the family if needed.
