A little bit about me

Hello !! My name is Juliette !
I am very caring and super intuitive. I love kids. Always have. I babysat since 16 years old and now the boy I babysat is my godson. I think my purpose in this world was to care for not only children but people in general. When I have a responsibility I give it my 100%. I love teaching. I love helping. And I love everything that comes with the job of being a babysitter. Not only will I babysit but I would love to build a trusting and transparent relationship with the family all together as I understand letting someone look after your child is the hardest thing to do. I have experience with multiple children of different ages as I am known as the “go to” for anyone who is looking for a babysitter lol. I never had to apply but now I’m looking to go full time and help a family who need some extra help with their kids and even household tasks ! Any other questions and i will be happy to answer !

A little bit about me

I’m a dependable and easygoing nanny who really enjoys working with kids and helping keep their day running smoothly. I like to keep a balance of structure and fun—making sure things like meals, homework, and routines get done, while still having time for play, creativity, and just letting kids be kids.

I’m hands-on and comfortable stepping in where needed, whether that’s school pickups, helping with homework, making snacks, or planning activities to keep them busy and engaged. I’m also pretty organized, so I’m good at keeping things on track without it feeling too strict or overwhelming.

Parents I’ve worked with would say I’m trustworthy, calm under pressure, and easy to communicate with. I show up on time, do what I say I’m going to do, and treat the home and kids with care and respect.

I’m just someone who genuinely enjoys being around children and making life a little easier for the families I work with.
