I'm Stella! I'm an experienced nanny looking for a family to work for in/around the Columbia, SC area. I am a grad student pursuing Christian faith-based counseling. I would love to help incorporate faith into your child's life (songs, stories, prayer) if this is something you desire.
I have nanny experience with light house cleaning, dishes, cooking, laundry, diaper changing, driving the children, and running errands. I have experience with overnights and would be open to a live-in nanny situation as well.

A little bit about me…

Hi! My name is Allison, I’m 22 and just graduated with a degree in Geoscience and Computer Science. I’m starting my master’s program at the University of Georgia this fall and looking for babysitting or nannying work over the summer.

I’ve been babysitting since I was a freshman in high school and have experience caring for children from infants to middle school age, though I’ve primarily worked with little ones under four. I’ve also worked as a part-time nanny during college. I’m comfortable helping with sleep training, potty training, homework, light cleaning, and meal prep.

I genuinely love spending time with kids and aim to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment for them to grow and thrive. I’d love to connect and see how I can help your family this summer!
