Nanny Sierra

2 years experience

A little bit about me

Hello!
I recently finished a discipleship school through my church called Greenhouse. During that time I helped watch leaders and other students children. They ranged from infant to 10 and I watched them multiple times a week! During that time I was also paid to watch children at Sequoia Christian School in the nursery. These children were from infant to around 3 years old! I have spent time as a maid cleaning houses, I have pet set and house sat, and I am trained in CPR and First Aid! I was a lifeguard at Hersheypark for two summers as well. I love to create art, sing and cook, as well as thrift and go on walks! I am very adaptable and willing to serve and accommodate your families needs. :)

"Sierra is a dependable employee. She arrived on time, worked hard, and fulfilled her job description and checklists each day. Sierra has a heart for children, is patient with children and very creative! My own kids were in the daycare and I could trust Sierra. My kids spoke highly of being with Sierra. The children looked forward to going to her classroom and were happy when they were picked up at the end of the day."

A little bit about me

I love kids and have spent the better part of the last 2 & 1/2 decades working within private homes as a Nanny, Cook, personal assistant and home manager. I pretty much do it all, so at the end of the day, the kids (and pets) are safe and happy, and the parents have nothing left to worry about. I have a ton of experience, as well as excellent references, and also my own reliable vehicle. I'd love to share my resume, though it won't fit in here. If you'd like to give me your email address, or send me one at Dizzy three nine eight four at gmail, I'd be happy to send it your way. Also two 6. Seven. Nine zero two, thirty three hundred

A little bit about me

I am an energetic and dedicated caregiver with a genuine passion for working with children of all ages and abilities. With a strong background in both personal and professional child care, I bring a unique blend of warmth, structure, and creativity to every interaction.

Currently, I work as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), providing one-on-one support to children with developmental disabilities and behavioral challenges, primarily those diagnosed with Autism. This role has strengthened my ability to create patient, nurturing, and engaging environments tailored to each child’s individual needs.

Beyond my professional experience, I’ve spent years helping care for my younger siblings, as well as my 11-year-old niece and 7-year-old nephew—organizing fun activities, preparing meals, and helping with homework. These experiences have deepened my love for caregiving and my commitment to supporting children’s growth in a safe and encouraging space.

I’d love to connect!
