A little bit about me
Hi, I'm Camille! I'm currently looking for a full-time position working in the city or very close to outside of the city.
I'm a nanny with 10+ years of experience, as well as a professional and certified doula with 2 years of experience. I have worked with children/families in many stages of development, from pre-birth to teenagehood.
I have experience with housework, meal prep, tutoring, transportation to/from school, speech development, nature appreciation, creativity/self-expression, and so much more that I would be happy to share with your special kiddo.
As for myself, I graduated from Guilford College(2020) with a BAS in Community and Justice Studies. Safe to say, I love to do impactful work. There's simply nothing more impactful and important than nurturing our future generations. I also played soccer at Guilford College, as well as my entire childhood.
I'm currently living in DC. Also important for you to know that I'm in a part-time Master's program at UMB.

A little bit about me
Hello families! I’m Kearra, 27 years old and an experienced early childhood educator and nanny. I’ve cared for children from 4 months to 15 years, with a passion for ages 6 months to 3 years. My journey began in high school and has led me to work with children with autism, ADHD, and various developmental needs. I’m currently in Montessori training, which has shaped my nurturing, respectful, and independence-focused approach. As Maria Montessori said, “The goal of early childhood education should be to activate the child’s own natural desire to learn.” I support children through calm routines, exploration, and play. I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping, pet care, and love arts and outdoor adventures like nature walks and parks. I hope to create a safe, inspiring space where your child can thrive!

A little bit about me
As an experienced child carer and devoted mother to a now-teen premature baby, I bring deep compassion and understanding to every child I care for. With added experience in hospitality, I'm well-versed in allergies especially food-related. With still my added experience as a caregiver (licensed HHA and CNA), I'm more informed and sensitive about the child's health, prevention and safety procedures. My CPR and First Aid certification ensures every child's safety is a top priority.
