A little bit about me

Hi, I'm srilaxmi
I’m passionate about caring for children and creating a safe, happy, and nurturing environment for them to thrive. I have 1 year of experience as a babysitter and nanny, working with children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens.

I love planning fun and creative activities, helping with homework, and supporting daily routines like meal prep and bedtime.

Families I work with often describe me as patient, reliable, and organized. I take pride in building strong, positive relationships with both kids and parents, and I’m always ready to adapt to the unique needs of every family.

If you’re looking for a caring and dependable sitter or nanny, I’d love to chat and see how I can support your family!

A little bit about me

I am a qualified nanny with years of experience caring for children between the ages of 1 and 13. In addition to my childcare experience, I am currently assisting in the care of my elderly grandfather, who has dementia, which has deepened my sense of empathy and patience. Over the years, I have developed a strong understanding of the importance of play in a child's development and maintain strict boundaries around TV watching to encourage creativity and active engagement. As an artist, I value the role of imagination and creative expression in children’s lives. While I always prioritize listening to and respecting parents' rules, I firmly believe in working as a team to create a nurturing, supportive environment for the children in my care.
