A little bit about me
I am a former teacher with more than 15 years of teaching experience. I have two teaching degrees. One in early childhood education (pre-k through 3rd grade) and elementary education (1st-5th). Most of my experience comes from teaching kindergarten through second grade. I am semi fluent in Spanish and Portuguese.
As a nanny, I am not only watching that your child is safe and secure, but I am using my past love of teaching to meet your child where they are academically. In short, I will be, not only a nanny, but a tutor as well.
I am a quick learner with many skills including light house detail and cooking. I am also great with animals as I have two of my own. Some of my other skills include exceptional organizational skills, homeschooling, pet sitting, upkeep of house plants, laundry, and wonderful people skills. People describe me as very people friendly, approachable, respectful, genuine, transparent, and punctual.

A little bit about me
Hi! I’m Emma. I am currently a nursing student, and don’t start clinicals for another year so my schedule is open. I have over 6 years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages—from newborns on up. I’ve worked in a variety of roles, including occasional babysitting, overnight care, and as a full-time vacation nanny, so I’m comfortable adapting to different family dynamics and needs.
I’m reliable, nurturing, and highly organized. Whether it’s preparing healthy meals, keeping things tidy, helping with homework, or just making sure the kids have fun and feel safe—I’ve got it covered. I also have my own transportation, which makes pick-ups, drop-offs, and errands a breeze.
Creating a warm, engaging environment where children can thrive is something I truly value. I’m here to make your life easier and give your little ones the care and attention they deserve!

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Mallory and I’m a 22 year old female. I’ve worked primarily in the customer service and hospitality environments, but childcare is where my heart truly is. I have 2 nieces (14 months and 6 months) and a nephew (5 months) and they are my entire world. I have been an extremely involved aunt since the moment they were born. I watch them alone fairly often throughout the week and am the most trusted in my family when it comes to anyone needing a babysitter. I also nannied 2 boys (ages 9 and 5) for about a year back when I was 16 and was adored by the boys and frequently hired by the parents up until they moved states.
