A little bit about me
Hi, I’m Ellie! I’m 19 years old, and this past year I had the incredible experience of studying abroad in Florence, Italy. Before I attend school in New York City next fall where I will study Communications and media studies. I grew up in the beautiful state of Vermont. I’m an avid skier and enjoy taking long walks with my dogs. I played varsity soccer in high school and still enjoy staying active in my free time. Working with kids has taught me patience, creativity, and the importance of fostering an encouraging and nurturing environment. It’s a joy to be part of their development and to see their enthusiasm for learning and play.

Hi! My name is Lauren Smyth and I am currently a freshman at Villanova University studying accounting. I am looking for a full-time live in nanny job on Nantucket for the summer of 2024. I am from the northern suburbs of Chicago, and am the 3rd of 6 kids in my family. I love to be outdoors, weather it be swimming in the summer or skiing in the winter, but also love a good movie day when it’s raining. At Villanova, I am apart of Women in Business, the Finance Club, and I also teach a fitness class to the students with special needs twice a week. I have been babysitting for my younger siblings my whole life and other families back home since I was nearly 10 years old. I spent the last 2 summers nannying in Chicago, so I’m simply looking for a change of scenery. I have plenty of references that I have been with for years and also new families from the Philly area if you would like anyone to talk to. Please reach out if any of this sounds like it fits your needs this summer. Thanks!
