A little bit about me

I am a loving and nurturing mom and granny, we are a retired military family with over 27yrs experience of traveling and enjoying the difference locations and cultures. I ran an in home daycare center at 3 locations so I would be able to care for my three boys and be present while their daddy was frequently gone for duty. I focus on learn through play for children and focus on age appropriate activities with an emphasis on manners, responsibilities that match their age abilities. We are now retired and living in the DFW area where I have found I love working one on one with families as a nanny even more than the larger group settings I had before because it has more continuity and personalization.

A little bit about me

Greetings, my name is Nathan Mills, and I currently work part-time as a Missionary, where I get to serve, mentor, and build meaningful connections with people every day. I’ve always had a heart for kids and teens, which comes from years of working with children at church and growing up in a big, lively family where there was never a dull moment. Before becoming a Missionary, I spent two years as a school-age co-teacher, helping students learn, grow, and feel supported both inside and outside the classroom. Whether it’s teaching, encouraging, or just having fun, I love creating a positive, safe space where young people can be themselves and thrive.
