A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Kate! I graduated from Indiana University in May of 2020. I’m currently teaching Kindergarten and am hoping to find a nanny position for the summer. I have 5 younger siblings and have nannied for the past 10 years. One of my most recent positions was for a family with a 5 month old, so I would consider myself to be very experienced with infants-toddlers (as well as children of all ages). I have plenty of references I can provide as well!

Babysitting

About me

My name is Miriam C Alanis Moreno and I'm 26 years old. My experience with children started at the age of 15 years old I have eight years of experience in babysitting and four years nanny . I would babysitting for family members and neighbors that need an extra help after school. I never took babysitting as a full time job due to the fact I was in college. I am currently taking a break from college that's the reason why this past year and half I have been a full time nanny with my current two families. I have worked with children up to five months and older. The qualities of being patient, optimistic and attentive are the reasons why I began babysitting. I've always loved my job because children pour happiness and childlike fun into my day. The positive impact I receive from every child is all I need to brighten up my day. I love being a great source of positivity and care in return. I believe that children are one of the greatest sources of joy.

A little bit about me

I truly enjoy working with children and creating a safe, loving, and fun environment where they can learn and grow. I believe in keeping little ones engaged through play and new experiences. Some of my favorite activities include visiting museums, going to the park, setting up play dates, reading books, doing arts and crafts, and creating sensory activities that encourage learning and exploration. I also enjoy helping children build independence through everyday routines while making sure they always feel supported and cared for.
I'm dependable, patient, and believe that open communication with parents is one of the most important parts of being a nanny. I understand that every family is different, and I enjoy working together to provide the best care possible. I have excellent references and take great pride in the relationships I've built with the families I've worked with. I'm looking forward to finding a family where I can become a trusted and dependable part of their child's life.

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Daisy 😊 I bring a strong mix of hands-on childcare experience, structure, and a nurturing, energetic approach. I grew up caring for my siblings daily (ages 0–14), which gave me real experience managing routines, multiple children, and different developmental stages. I also served as a catechist, where I taught and guided kids in structured, engaging lessons.

Professionally, I come from a leadership background where I managed high-responsibility environments, so I’m very organized, dependable, and safety-focused. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish and love staying active with kids. I also enjoy trying new foods and creating fun, balanced meals while encouraging healthy habits in a positive way.

I take pride in creating a clean, structured, and happy environment where children feel safe, confident, and supported.
