A little bit about me

Hi there! My name is Chantelle! I’m a nurturing, experienced, and hands-on caregiver who truly loves what I do! With over 8 years of experience working with children from newborns to 12 years old, I bring both professional expertise and the heart of a mom (to a sweet 2-year-old of my own!). I’ve worked as a nanny and an early childhood teacher, and am certified in CPR, First Aid, AED, pediatric nursing, and early childhood education and care.

I’m passionate about helping children grow through age-appropriate developmental play base learning activities, and limiting screen time in favor of meaningful play.

If this sounds like the right fit for your family, I’d be happy to connect and chat further!

"From the time my daughter was 6 months old, I’ve used Chantelle to babysit her and I’ve had nothing but good experiences. They often go outside together to play and she’ll play educational games throughout the day with her as well. I also really appreciate how she sends me pictures so I can see my baby having fun. From my experience, Chantelle is very attentive and caring. She has a son of her own which I think really stands her apart from other sitters; she has that mom instinct when it comes to teaching, preventing accidents, and problem solving. But on the flip side, she’s still pretty young so shes able to chase my wild toddler around! She usually has her son with her when she’s watching my daughter and the two have actually became really good friends. My daughter doesn’t go to daycare, so I think being around another kid is teaching her some valuable lessons related to sharing & respect. Overall, I’m grateful to place my daughter in safe hands when I’m not able to care for her."

"We love Chantelle! We first called her when one of our sitters canceled last minute, and she jumped in with less than 24 hours notice. She connected with my three boys right away. Now they only want her to babysit, which says a lot since we’ve had quite a few sitters. They also love her son, and enjoy having a built in playmate when she watches them. Chantelle is kind, dependable, and great at communicating. We'll continue to use her when she’s available!"

"Chantelle is great with children I’ve watched her care for kids newborns to 4-years-olds. You can tell she has a love for children. It also gave me peace of mind that she was knowledgeable in age appropriate activities for each of our children."

"Chantelle was our weekend nanny, and she was absolutely wonderful with our three boys (ages 5, 4, and a 10 month old at the time). She often brought her own little boy, who was 1, and managed all four boys well. She genuinely cared for our boys, and it really showed they adored her, and they loved having her son around as a bonus playmate. I always felt comfortable leaving my kids in her care, and I’d trust her with them again anytime."

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I have experience being an early childhood teacher, for children ages one-six in this position I would care for up to 15 children for 12 hour shifts.
I have also been a professional nanny as well as babysit. Not only do I bring professional experience but I also bring personal experience from being a loving mom to a sweet two-year-old!

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy engaging with children through a variety of indoor and outdoor activities. I especially love spending time outdoors—going to the park, taking walks, participating in scavenger hunts, and exploring nature. I also enjoy facilitating play-based learning activities tailored to each age group, as well as organizing arts and crafts and other creative experiences.

The most important part about being a nanny...

To me, the most important part of being a nanny is creating a loving, safe space where kids can really thrive. I want them to know they’re supported and that I’m someone they and their parents can trust, and rely on. I believe in nurturing each child in a way that fits their age and personality, helping them grow, learn, and feel confident every step of the way.
