A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Quiana Flynn and I have always loved children since I could remember! My very first job as a camp counselor helped to build the start of my childcare career. I have worked as a teacher, substitute teacher, and mentor throughout my working years. I have grown a passion for caring for kids and helping them grow and learn in their journeys. I’m interested in being a nanny because i want to bring genuine love and care to a family and create a strong bond not only with the kid/s, but also the parents. I have a 3 year old son myself, so I also have great mommy skills I’ve picked up over the years! All around, I would be a great fit to a family one day and will ensure that your child’s safety and care are always top priority.

A little bit about me

I have been a childcare professional for 15+ years for all kinds of children from infants to families of five. My love for taking care of others and lightening their load motivates my work. I consider myself a sunny and generous person and it is my goal to make a profound positive impact on the lives of the families I care for. I aim to become an intuitive helper whose main goal is to provide a safe and loving environment for children to learn and develop. I care deeply about aiding children in their development physically, mentally, and emotionally through communication, nutritious eating, and enriching activities and play. Most of all I love to take my time figuring out what will make a kid do a big belly laugh.
