A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Kendall, and I’m a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) with experience working with children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). I’ve also worked as a teacher’s assistant and nanny, giving me a well-rounded approach to childcare.

In my current nanny role, I care for multiple children while helping with daily routines, activities, meal preparation, and household organization. I’m comfortable supporting communication, emotional regulation, and sensory needs, and I always strive to meet each child where they are.

My caregiving style is patient, warm, and playful. I love crafts, outdoor activities, games, and creating a safe environment where children feel supported and encouraged to grow.

I value kindness, consistency, and open communication with parents. I am CPR/First Aid certified and take pride in being someone families can trust.

A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Alaija, I’ve been baby sitting since I was 5 years old. I’m very responsible and I take my work very seriously as well. You can’t really trust people with your kids but I know for a fact you can trust me. I love to play dress up and draw, paint, etc, I always find all kinds of activities for everyone. I can cook.. somewhat (still learning). I can clean. I just want the parents to come back to a clean home and kids in bed. I’m dedicated to everything I do and when it comes with kids that’s my main priority. I am the oldest of 5 on my moms and 7 on my dads.. so you can only imagine how much times I’ve babysat or took care of for a couple days! I also baby sat my neighbors three boys for the summer. So I have a lot of experiences from babies to teenagers.

A little bit about me

I don’t have much experience with nannying but I love kids! I originally wanted to be a teacher but I dislike the direction the education system is going and decided to take an alternate route. I have plenty of experience babysitting infants and toddlers as well as coaching middle schoolers and high schoolers. I like to think I go above and beyond of what I’ve been asked when it comes to the well being of the kids. I care immensely about not only their physical health but their mental health and cognitive development as well. I would love to be considered for job opportunities and gain more professional experience in the nannying business!

A little bit about me

Hi everyone!
My name is Lundin and I am looking for a new position caring for children. I’ve been working with children for 5 years. My most recent jobs were caring for a 3 months old baby boy and his adorable big brother, 19 months old. I worked with these sweet boys for about 3 months before moving home! I also worked in the afternoon with 5 kids, 4-14. A wild bunch but every day was amazing! I also have a full resume available upon request with many references from past families.
I have my own transportation and am willing to travel for work.
I will soon be getting my recertification for infant, child and adult CPR.
Some things about me: I love art, reading, and cooking. I also enjoy working out when I have time. I also love animals! I have a 3 year old cat named Pierre who is such a sweetie!

I also do light housekeeping, childrens laundry and dishes. I am very flexible with my schedule so I can accommodate almost anything!

Thanks for reading, I hope to meet you soon!
