A little bit about me

Hello!
My name is Ava, and I’m a 19-year-old college student originally from California. I’m currently attending the University of Utah, where I’m majoring in Kinesiology with the goal of becoming a pediatric occupational therapist. Working with children is something I’ve always been passionate about, and I’m excited to build a career that allows me to support their growth and development.
I have over four years of experience babysitting, caring for children of various ages. In addition, I’ve spent several years volunteering in my church’s Sunday school, where I’ve worked with the nursery, elementary, and middle school students. These experiences have helped me develop strong skills in patience, communication, and creative problem-solving—all essential when it comes to providing a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment for kids. I would love the opportunity to bring my experience, energy, and care to your family!

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Maddie, I am 25 years old and I live in SLC. I have been a nanny since 2019. I absolutely love it, I love getting to know the families and helping moms and dads raise their little ones. I work with the parents to come up with the best way to structure their kiddos' days. I prepare activities for most days. This helps them develop their sensory, fine, and gross motor skills. I spent a year teaching at a preschool, so I also love doing circle time with them as well. I try to get them outside for at least an hour every day rain or shine because I believe it's good for them. I read somewhere that that's what they do in Scandinavian countries and their kiddos are the happiest in the world! Let me know how I can help you by messaging me today!

Thank you,
M.

A little bit about me

I have worked for the past 10 years with kids ages (2-18 years) and have loved every second of it!
I have worked as a special education paraprofessional, PE teacher, substitute, nanny, After-School and Summer-Camp Director, Community Coach for teens with autism, and a Groups Teacher teaching Math, Reading, and Spelling for elementary kids.
I have a very outgoing, fun personality and love to laugh! I am a very creative person who likes to keep busy with art, music, and writing. I love playing with kids who are into sports, hiking, or other physical activities (hence why PE teaching was one of my favorite jobs!) I strive to focus on teaching communication to kids when they're having tantrums, or emotional distress. I don't shout, I don't punish, I love giving a safe space for the kids I work with using empathy and compassion. I have found that this usually works and it creates a more nurturing environment and a better bonding between me and the kid.
