A little bit about me

My name is Lexie McGurk, and I am a college student at Pacific Lutheran University where I run track and field while pursuing my education for nursing school. I am a responsible, caring, and dependable person who enjoys working with children and creating a positive environment for them to grow and feel supported. Being both a student-athlete and future nursing student has helped me develop strong communication, patience, organization, and problem-solving skills. I enjoy staying active, helping others, and building meaningful relationships with families. I understand the importance of trust, safety, and reliability when caring for children, and I would love the opportunity to provide a fun, supportive, and caring environment as a nanny.

More About Me

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

I have several years of experience working with and caring for children through both personal and leadership roles. As an older sister, I have naturally taken on responsibilities such as supervising, helping with daily routines, and creating a safe and supportive environment for younger children. In addition to caring for my own siblings, I have babysat for family friends, where I gained experience managing children of different ages, keeping them engaged in activities, preparing meals, and ensuring their safety and well-being. Throughout high school, I also held multiple camp leader positions, which strengthened my leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills. These roles allowed me to work closely with groups of children, organize activities, encourage positive behavior, and create fun, inclusive environments. Combined with my CPR and First Aid certifications, my experience has helped me become patient, dependable, attentive, and confident in caring for children.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love spending time with children by creating fun, engaging, and active experiences that keep them happy and comfortable. I enjoy taking kids on walks to the park or around the neighborhood, spending time outdoors, and encouraging them to stay active and explore. At home, I love playing games, doing creative activities, watching movies, and finding ways to make everyday moments exciting. I have a very imaginative personality, which helps me connect with children easily and create fun pretend games, stories, and activities that keep them entertained while also encouraging creativity and learning. I enjoy building positive relationships with children by making them feel safe, supported, and excited to spend time together.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I believe the most important parts of being a nanny are creating a safe, supportive, and positive environment for children while building trust with both the children and their family. A nanny should be patient, dependable, attentive, and able to communicate well with both kids and parents. It is important to encourage children’s growth, creativity, and confidence while also helping maintain routines and structure. I also believe being a nanny means being someone children feel comfortable around and can look up to, while giving parents peace of mind knowing their children are safe, cared for, and genuinely supported every day.
