The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny is building a respectful rapport with the child and the family. I love working with infants, toddlers and preschoolers so much. Talking to them through every aspect of their daily routines and play is the most important way to show ultimate respect.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite moments when working with young children is when children reach the social emotional developmental stage of showing excitement for interests in their favorite toys/activities.

I enjoy nurturing young children's strengths and when you know what they are interested in planning activities and building their self-esteem becomes central to their development.

Babysitter Available in Austin, TX: Meredith F.

Hi! I’m Meredith and I live in Austin with my husband, who swims professionally for team USA. I work part-time with Athletes in Action at UT, an athletic ministry where I get to spend time with and mentor college athletes. I’m currently looking for a part-time nannying position, ideally around 10 hours a week.

I’ve always loved working with kids and have several years of experience babysitting and nannying. I nannied part-time throughout college and also had two full-time summer nanny positions. I was also a lifeguard for three summers, so I was CPR and First Aid certified at the time (they’ve expired, but I’d definitely renew them if needed).

I’m very dependable, easygoing, and love creating a fun and safe environment for kids. I enjoy being active, spending time outside, helping with routines, and building good relationships with families. I also have a golden retriever, so I’m very comfortable with pets. I’d love to connect and see if I could be a good fit for your family!
