A little bit about me

Hi, I'm Clare!
I absolutely adore kids…truly I do! Whether it’s playing games, helping with homework, cleaning up, taking them out, or tucking them in, I got it covered!

Next to caring for children, my passions lie in the arts. I received my associate's degree in Occupational Studies from The American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York. I enjoy writing, singing, and basically any activity that allows me to have a creative outlet-one of the main reasons I've always loved being a nanny. I have worked with different families, in different countries, all who have different approaches in regards to their child's care; I am very adaptable and care deeply for the families I work with. I'm an all-in type of nanny, so whatever that means for you in regard to what you're seeking for support, I look forward to hearing from you and about your family :)

Warmest Regards,
Clare

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m 23 years old, and I’ve been passionate about working with children since I was 15. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for kids as young as 3 months old all the way up to 16 years old, which has given me a wide range of experience and understanding of different age groups. I’m currently a 4th grade teacher, which has deepened my love for teaching and solidified my career choice. I absolutely love seeing children grow, learn, and develop, and I bring that same enthusiasm into everything I do.

My bubbly personality makes it easy for me to connect with kids. I aim to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment where children can thrive and feel encouraged to be themselves. Whether I’m helping with homework, organizing arts and crafts, or simply spending time with them, my goal is always to make sure they feel valued and excited about learning. I also believe in promoting positive behavior and teaching children important life skills along the way.

A little bit about me

I became a caregiver because I always loved kids. I believe that every child can teach someone something. I love how they are opened minded, and I love the imagination they posses. I use to work for at a young age. Then when I got a little older I went to help out at a high school. After that I started in the food business but I have to say it's not for me. I miss helping my little ones with their homework and just asking them how was their day.

I currently work for the (DOE) Department Of Education. My job title is a paraprofessional. I've been working for the DOE for 5 years now.

Hi, I’m Bre! With over 6 years of experience in childcare, I have done it all! Babysitting, camp counseling, nannying, summer school, and after-school day care!

I will graduate from university in June with a degree in Education Studies from UW-Madison. I specialize in child-centered curriculum development and arts education. My career also includes a unique role at The Walt Disney Company, where I further honed my skills in creative and educational programming, and an internship at nonprofit Aurora Institute, where I was really able to dive deep into learner centered practice!
