A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Makayla and I’m an 18 year old recent high school graduate from South Carolina. I’m responsible, patient, caring, and genuinely love being around children. I have experience helping care for younger family members and I’m comfortable helping with routines, meals, light housekeeping, playtime, and creating a safe and positive environment. I’m currently looking for a live in nanny position and would love to become a supportive and dependable addition to the right family. I am currently based in South Carolina but open to relocating for the perfect family!

A little bit about me
I am a very happy and compassionate person. I enjoy sharing things and talking to people about a variety of things. I have a quick wit and love to laugh about everything under the sun. I can be quiet at first, but once you get to know me, I don’t keep quiet . I am fun loving, but serious when necessary. I have a logical mind but understand and feel emotions as well.

"Feran has been the part time nanny for the last 2 years to our 4yr old daughter. Amazing is an understatement when describing Feran. My daughter is on the spectrum and she is so patient with her. Feran does meal time, bath time, bedtime routines and overnights when me and my husband travel. Feran doesn’t treat this as a “job” she has her own special relationship with my daughter and sometimes she will cry when Feran goes home. You will not regret hiring Feran, we are so thankful for her"

"Quiera was a godsend! We were looking for a caretaker who would not only create a safe and fun environment for our son, but also prepare him for preschool. Quiera went above and beyond to ensure our son was consistently engaged in activities that were not only fun, but also challenged him and helped him grow. We now consider Quiera part of our extended family and our son always looks forward to seeing her when she is available."

"Thando was our daughter's nanny from when our baby was 4 months to 16 months old. My husband and I are first-time parents and our families live far away, but Thando made our lives so much easier with her extensive background and knowledge in infant and toddler-care. Thando took care of all of our baby's needs, did all the daily baby-related chores, helped our daughter thrive, and kept our minds at ease as we returned to work--we couldn't have asked for a better experience. What's more is she genuinely loves babies and enjoys spending time with them, and her sense of humor was always a welcome pick-me up for 2 tired parents! Happy to chat in more detail with prospective employers over the phone."

A little bit about me
I am a career nanny living in Washington DC. I have over 15 years of childcare experience, including the last 5 years as a professional nanny. In my latest position I cared for a boy from 3 months to 2.5 years. I particularly enjoy the early years, but have experience with kids of all ages, needs, and multiples.
I’m looking to match with a great family for a long-term, full-time position.
I love being creative and laughing with kids. Some of my hobbies include cooking, baking, playing musical instruments, dancing, playing sports, traveling, and reading. I’ve been playing the violin since the age of 5 and dancing for nearly as long. I have a B.S. in Food Science and Human Nutrition from Clemson University.
I take pride in my organization and efficiency skills. I am an intermediate French speaker and know basic Spanish. I utilize ASL with infants and toddlers to augment language development and promote early communication. I am passionate about learning languages!
