A little bit about me

My name is Hanna Hoyt and I'm an alumni of the University of Minnesota. I am currently living in Santa Monica, CA. I'm 26 years old and graduated with a degree in psychology. I have always loved volunteering and working with kids and this led me to writing my senior capstone research paper on the importance of positive role models in a child's life, which further solidified that I wanted to work with kids. My first job out of college was working for the Salvation Army Child Development Center. At my job here I got the chance to work with fifteen students aged 3-5. I plan daily lessons for them in math, social studies, art, language, physical education and more. I have also done a lot of volunteering with kids of all ages at the Good Neighbor Center. This is a nonprofit that helps students complete their homework and school assignments. The past two years I have worked as a nanny for kids aged 4 months - 6 years old.

I am an experienced and caring nanny with a genuine love for children. With a background as a recreational therapist, yoga teacher, and meditation and breathwork instructor, I bring a unique skill set to my role.

With my background in recreational therapy, I can also address any health issues in a fun and engaging way. Providing a nurturing and stimulating environment is my top priority, and I am excited to bring my passion for holistic care to your family as a dedicated nanny.
