A little bit about me

My name is Deborah, and I’ve been caring for children in my family and neighborhood for the past 8 years. I’ve worked in multiple homes professionally as well, with about 4 years experience in that.
I’ve always known I wanted to work with kids, and my husband agrees it’s the perfect job for me. Friends and family love dropping their kids with me and they always go home happy after a long day of fun activities.
I have experience with various parenting methods and I am ready to work with whatever you do with your children. I can meal prep, do light housekeeping, laundry, help with homework, plan activities, bedtime routines, and really anything that needs to be done around the house.

More About Me

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

I was a youth teacher in my church for 4 years, I babysat neighbors during that time and in the years following. I spent a few months as a part time nanny in spring of ‘24, then returned to babysitting neighbors. I have been a full time nanny since August ‘25, and to date.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Reading, coloring, playing outside, cooking, and playing with toys, going on walks, playing at the park, flash cards, and much more!

The most important part about being a nanny...

Children require constant attention and care, parents often can’t do that due to a variety of reasons ranging from medical conditions, to work schedules and much more. As a nanny, my job is to step in where the parents cannot. I am not there to replace the parent, but rather fill the gaps that a child needs. Whether that be school drop offs and pick ups, homework time, bedtime, meals, potty training, playtime, or anything else. A parent’s restrictions should never be the child’s burden.

My experience with special needs children...

I have cared for many children with ASD, ADHD, OCD, ODD, GAD, and more.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I had in my care a large group of children ages 1 - 10. In that group was a 7 year old girl with high needs as far as emotional control. She was very overwhelmed with the idea of doing her chores and was begining to panic. I noticed almost immediately and began trying to help her settle. She was able to unfurl her body and take deep breaths to calm down. I was very proud of her for this, as she usually takes a long time to settle, yet did this mostly on her own.
