A little bit about me

Hi, I'm Natalie, a Junior at Marist College, offering a range of care services including child care, senior care, pet care, and household assistance.

I've been babysitting since I was 17, caring for children of all ages, including driving, cooking, cleaning, and leading fun educational activities. I’m also experienced in running errands, meal prep, and light housekeeping.

I’ve personally cared for my grandmother with Alzheimer's, so I’m comfortable assisting with senior care, including meal prep, driving to appointments, and supporting daily tasks.

I love animals and can help with pet care as well, including feeding, walking, and companionship.

Reach out if you need reliable, compassionate care or assistance around the house—I’d love to help!

More About Me

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

- Babysitting children of various ages, including infants, toddlers, and young children, with responsibilities such as feeding, playtime, and nap routines.
- Driving children to and from school, daycare, and activities, as well as helping with homework and educational activities.
- Assisting with light household chores like meal prep, cleaning, and organizing, while also providing fun and age-appropriate activities for the kids.
- Caring for my younger cousins and family friends' children, ensuring they were engaged in screen-free activities like arts and crafts, outdoor play, and storytime.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

- Arts and crafts: I love helping kids get creative with coloring, painting, and making simple DIY projects.
- Outdoor play: Whether it’s going for walks, playing in the park, or having fun with outdoor games like tag or hide-and-seek, I enjoy keeping children active and engaged.
- Reading and storytime: I love reading books aloud and encouraging children to use their imagination through stories.
- Building with toys: Playing with building blocks, cars, trucks, or any toys that encourage imaginative play is always a hit!
- Music and dancing: Singing songs and dancing around to fun tunes is a great way to bond and keep little ones entertained.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite nanny moment was when I played with a little one and we started making silly songs together. We were both laughing so hard, especially when I tried to make up a song about his favorite toy. His giggles were contagious, and such a simple, joyful moment reminded me how much fun spending time with kids is.
