A little bit about me

I've been babysitting for about 8 years I'm currently 21 so around 13 l started professionally babysitting. unofficially I started babysitting around 10 because I have 5 siblings, 4 younger than me, so I would take them to school in the mornings with me since the walk was only 9 minutes. I'd walk home with them and make them snacks after school and help with homework. my mom was a nurse before retiring last year so l've helped a lot with my younger siblings. Around 13 l started professionally babysitting outside of my home because believe it or not I loved being around kids and being an extra set of hands. And that's where it all started. More recently for the past year l've been a live in nanny to a wonderful family in Manhatten to 3 kids and have grown quite fond of the hands on day to day experience with the kids.I would love to help you guys out the best that I can and be not just an extra set a hands but someone who you can count on with not just your kids but yourself. Thank you

A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Piper!
I am originally from Wyoming, but I’ve spent the last year in Spain as an au pair and learning Spanish! This has been the experience of a lifetime and has inspired me to spend this time in my life working closely with children for longer than I was planning! I can’t wait to meet your family ❤️

I have a bachelor’s degree in Psychology & hope to achieve my master’s degree in the future. Some of my hobbies include learning new languages, painting, reading, collaging, hiking, skiing, and photography! Some values I hold close to my heart are connection, honesty, soft leadership, unwavering kindness, and open-mindedness.

I have a 3 year old corgi, who is my companion and gets along wonderfully with children and other animals. He is a registered emotional support animal for my genetic anxiety, which has decreased immensely since having him in my life. It is important to me that we are together for this reason, please feel free to ask anything about him!
