A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Kayleigh and I have been working as a full time nanny for over fifteen years. It is truly the best job I have ever had and I put my heart into it. My nanny style is parental unit and I am a big proponent of the Montessori method and nature based learning. I strive to create a routine and schedule that focuses on reaching milestones and helps children grow to be happy and healthy. My free time is often spent crafting, going on nature walks/hiking, reading and spending quality time with my family and friends. I am by nature a bit of a clean freak and enjoy organization projects.

A little bit about me

I am a dedicated Newborn and Infant Care Professional (NICP) with five years of experience supporting children of all ages and developmental needs. I am CPR and First Aid certified and have completed specialized training in infant and early childhood care, allowing me to create nurturing, safe, and developmentally rich environments. My childcare approach is Montessori-inspired and child-led, encouraging curiosity and independence within consistent, loving boundaries. I follow each baby’s natural rhythm while offering gentle guidance that builds comfort and confidence. I enjoy supporting developmental play, baby-led weaning, and healthy sleep routines, and I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping, meal prep, child’s laundry, and toy or clothing rotation to keep routines smooth. Families describe me as patient, dependable, and genuinely invested in each child’s well-being, and I would love to bring that same dedication to your family.

A little bit about me

Nurturing young minds is my passion. My four years of experience working with little ones in a school setting and at homes has given me so much amazing experience and knowledge that I would like to take into nannying! Caring for children aged newborn to 11 have solidified my commitment to their growth and well-being. I am energetic, friendly, and love engaging kids with creative activities, outdoor sports, board games, and puzzles. I find that kids learn best in a fun, loving, engaging, and controlled environment.

I understand the importance of clear communication and will always follow the parents preferred method, whether it's verbal updates or regular texts. I'm comfortable following any household rules and any specific tasks or activites you want included. I am CPR and First Aid certified aswell. Supporting families and witnessing children thrive brings me immense joy. I am comfortable caring for up to 3-4 children!

A little bit about me

My name is Stephanie but most little angels call me Stephie. I have worked with special needs kiddos for about 21 years. Working with these beautiful souls is truly my passion and I am so lucky to have found something I love so immensely! I am a very positive, energetic, loving, reliable, patient, flexible, hard working, and open minded person. I started out doing ABA when I was 20 years old. Since then I've worked in school settings as well as doing residential work/nanny/life skills. I've also worked with kiddos who are medically complex, more specifically CHARGE Syndrome. I have experience with tube feeding and BAHA listening devices as well. I believe in finding ways to truly connect with each individual child and to always see them for who they are and not just their diagnosis.
