The most important part about being a nanny...

One of the most important aspects of being a nanny for your family is providing peace of mind and comfort, knowing your children are cared for with the same attention, safety, and compassion as if they were my own.

My experience with special needs children...

I have cared for children with special needs and worked as a respite provider, giving families trusted support and ensuring each child feels safe, understood, and well cared for.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of the most rewarding moments of being a nanny is when a child learns to talk and says “nanny” for the first time. It’s a truly meaningful milestone.

Tate L. - Seeking Work in Provo

Full-Time Nanny Available in Provo, UT: Tate L.

Hi! I’m 23 and currently studying psychology at UVU, where I’ve taken several child development classes. I have 7 years of paid nanny experience and love working with kids. Even though I’m an only child, I’m the third oldest out of 11 cousins and grew up helping care for the younger ones.
Outside of work, I love hiking and camping, and I have a dog named Groovy who is basically my child. I worked as a veterinary technician for 8 years, but needed a change. I nannied for many years in CA before moving to UT for school and I miss it!
Because I’m a student, my schedule can change occasionally, but I do my best to plan ahead and work around my school schedule to stay consistent and reliable for the families I work with.
