A little bit about me

I am 18 years old and have over 4 years of hands-on experience caring for children, from 6 months to 13 years old. My love for children, especially babies and toddlers, has inspired me to pursue this work as a full-time career. I am truly passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where little ones can grow, learn, and feel cared for, while also providing age-appropriate guidance and support for older children. Over the years, I’ve developed strong skills in caring for children of all ages, including feeding, changing, nap routines, homework assistance, and organizing fun and educational activities. I especially enjoy planning creative play, arts and crafts, outdoor activities. I value building strong and trusting relationships not only with the children but also with their families. I also enjoy helping with household tasks, whether it’s tidying up, light cleaning, or assisting with anything that makes the family’s day easier. I am fluent in English/Spanish.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I have been babysitting since I was 14 years old, and at 18 I’ve already gained several years of experience caring for children from 6 months up to 13 years old. I am very responsible, reliable, and truly love caring for kids. My passion is working with infants and toddlers between 6 months and 3 years old, but I am flexible and can work with older children as well.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Some of the activities I love doing with kids include reading stories, arts and crafts, outdoor play, music and dancing, and fun learning games. I enjoy creating activities that are both fun and educational, keeping children engaged, happy, and curious while supporting their growth and development. Whether it’s exploring outside, getting creative with crafts, or enjoying story time, I always make sure children feel safe, cared for, and loved.

The most important part about being a nanny...

What matters most to me as a nanny is the happiness, safety, and well-being of the children I care for. I truly value building strong, trusting relationships with both the children and their families. I take pride in creating a nurturing environment where little ones feel loved, supported, and encouraged to explore, learn, and grow. Seeing a child feel confident, joyful, and secure is the most rewarding part of my work, and I strive to make every day with them full of care, patience, and positivity.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite nanny moments was when a toddler I cared for took their first few independent steps while I was cheering them on. Being there to encourage them, see their excitement, and celebrate such a big milestone together was incredibly rewarding. Moments like these, watching children learn, grow, and gain confidence, remind me why I love being a nanny and why every day spent with them is so meaningful.
