A little bit about me
Hello,
I'm Cat and I'm currently looking for a nanny position with a wonderful family.
I've had years of experience working with kids, starting when I was 15. traveling as a vacation nanny with several families. In my twenties, I taught two-year-old's at Children's Discovery Center in Austin. The majority of my career, I've been juggling running my ecommerce business with doing private duty elderly and child care. I've also volunteered my time mentoring underserved kids and young moms, as well as kindergarteners.
I just want to let you know that when I'm with your children, I'm fully present. You won't see me watching TV or staring at my phone. I'm genuinely fascinated by Child Development and I love inspiring kids to believe in themselves and explore their talents and gifts. I promise to engage with your kids in the most positive, loving, and fun way possible.
My first aid and CPR certifications have expired, I am happy to be recertified.

A little bit about me
From newborn to school-age, I'm comfortable working with all ages. I worked briefly in Applied Behavioral Analysis, which has helped inform my work with behavior challenges. My experience includes different forms of neurodiversity, LGBTQIA+, and "alternative" family structures.
I work with dogs (behavioral and petsitting/walking) and teach yoga twice per week. I am a certified mindfulness/meditation teacher and have studied Nonviolent Communication.
Feel free to write with any questions. My schedule is constantly changing, so feel free to ask even if it looks like I'm unavailable. I look forward to hearing about your family.
**Please note: I will probably love any animals you have, but am allergic to cats and can have difficulty working in homes with indoor cats. I am also very scent sensitive, so any homes with a lot of air fresheners/scented candles will likely not be a good fit.

"Elspeth is the best nanny you will ever find! The moment she met our toddler boy, he oriented to her like she was a family member!
She is attuned, nurturing, attentive, caring, and has a gift at being with children.
She picked up on our family values & the daily flow with our child, and is able to seamlessly weave into the schedule and the support we were needing from a nanny.
And, I didn't experience her needing a "training period". She just showed up on her first day, and it was like she had always been here.
She is fabulous. Warm, kind hearted, smart, perceptive.
We love Elspeth & I know you will too!"

A little bit about me
I am 28 and moved to Asheville about three years ago. I have 7+ years of experience in childcare, and I have had many opportunities to contribute to the wellbeing of children and their families through nannying, babysitting, household management, teaching, and mentoring. I have experience with a wide range of ages from infants to high-schoolers. I was also the second parent alongside my mother in raising my twin little sisters who are now A+ students in high-school and pre-professional ballet dancers. I strive to provide a warm, nurturing, and safe environment for your children so that you can know that they are in dependable hands.

A little bit about me
I'm a CNA who lives in Asheville with many years of elder and child care experience. I'm 57, like the mountains, art, bluegrass, and reading. I'm caring and even tempered. I have a long term partner of 25 years. He's a native of Black Mountain, who also loves the outdoors, so we're often up at our cabin on Roan Mountain, or taking in the woods somewhere off the beaten path.

A little bit about me
I have a long history of working with children on a personal level, which includes 10 years of full-time and part-time nannying experience, with early childhood teaching experience in a Waldorf nature setting.
I specialize in honoring kids' individual personalities, encouraging them to go through life authentically and in a way that feels natural for them, while also helping them meet standards their parents and teachers may have set for them.
I'm a pretty clean person and will always leave spaces looking tidy. I feel comfortable in the kitchen, helping with schoolwork, and I have my own car. I've worked with a spectrum of ages ranging from 2 months old to 13 years old and have extensive experience with the various developmental stages of children.
I guarantee my services are top of the line and can provide great references upon request.
Hope to hear from you!
