A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Bailey, and I'm a 26-year-old experienced grade school teacher with four years of teaching experience. My Master’s degree in teaching and classroom experience means that I have unique insight into developmental milestones and classroom readiness tools, as well as my CPR certification and exceptional preparedness in case of an emergency. Right after high school I worked as a CNA, so I have a minor background in healthcare as well.
In addition to my work in the classroom, I have a passion for caring for children of all ages, including toddlers as young as 1.5 years old, which I have mainly cared for in the summers between school years. In addition to looking after children, I'm also open to assisting with cleaning duties and meal prep, and I'm a great cook with excellent multitasking skills! I would love to bring my nurturing, educational approach to childcare while ensuring a safe, fun, and learning-filled environment for your little one!

A little bit about me
Hello! As a nanny, I have years of experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to preteens. In my previous role as daytime nanny to a busy family of five children, I learned how difficult it can be to manage the varying needs of children in diverse stages of development. I honed the ability to care for each child individually, while paying close attention to the needs of the group. I take safety extremely seriously, and am trained and certified in childhood first-aid and CPR. Keeping children happy and safe is my number one priority. I keep them under a watchful eye and always make certain they avoid dangerous situations. I am good at helping them follow rules and encourage them to clean up after themselves while I help them do so. I prepare good-tasting meals for children and take into account all dietary requests and requirements. I make certain children follow set schedules and take naps so they are well-rested. If allowed by the family, I schedule fun outings to parks, gardens, zoos and museums so the children can see their community and all it has to offer them.

"Lulu had great work ethic, positive energy, was promt and adored by our children. She was a babysitter to our two girls who were then 6 months and 4 years old and our son 6 years old. She worked part time for us when my wife and I were away for work. We were sorry to see her go when she moved cities but we highly recommend her as a sitter/Nanny."

"We can’t say enough wonderful things about Sarah. From the very first day, she brought calm, confidence, and genuine love into our home. She is so much more than a nanny; she is a natural caregiver who truly understands children and meets them where they are. Sarah is patient, creative, and deeply attuned to each child’s emotional and developmental needs. Our kids absolutely adore her. Whether she is engaging them in imaginative play, helping with schoolwork, or guiding daily routines, she does everything with warmth and structure. She turns everyday moments into meaningful opportunities for learning and connection. Sarah is also incredibly reliable, organized, and proactive, keeping our home running smoothly with kindness and grace. She quickly became part of our family, and we trust her completely. Any family fortunate enough to have Sarah will see how exceptional she is: steady, nurturing, and wholeheartedly devoted."
