A little bit about me

As a mom myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, and caring. I am currently looking for part-time nanny opportunities and bring 5 years of experience as a medical assistant, along with hands-on childcare experience caring for children ages 0 to 8. I am CPR and First Aid trained and have experience helping children navigate their emotions while supporting their growth, learning, and development.

"Keelyn provided care for my son from the ages of 3 months to 4 years old! Throughout that time, she proved to be a reliable part of my household, earning trust and my sons affection.During her time with our family, Keelyn handled day-to-day responsibilities, including preparing meals, enforcing bedtime routines, and taking him to story time at the library. One of the most appreciated qualities about Keelyn was her upbeat energy and resourcefulness. Whether it was coming up with creative educational games or handling unexpected situations calmly and effectively, she always ensured a safe, positive, and engaging environment. Furthermore, she is dependable, punctual, and communicative. It was always possible to count on her to follow household rules, respect schedules, and act with a high level of responsibility! The recommendation of her to any family seeking a compassionate, capable, and trustworthy caregiver is wholehearted. She will make an amazing addition to your home!"

"She participated with their activities. We had a swimming pool and I never worried. Dylan was only 5 and Brynn 7. She was always cheerful and truly enjoyed them while caring for their needs."
