A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Zoe.
I have over 5 years of experience. My background includes serving as an assistant teacher at a Montessori preschool, where I worked with children ages 3-7 and helped foster independence, creativity, and a love of learning through child-centered education.
In addition to my classroom experience, I have 4 years of nannying experience caring for children from infants into their toddler stage.
I have completed multiple Early Childhood Education courses and am currently pursuing my Bachelor's degree in Psychology.
As a nanny, I strive to create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel supported and encouraged to grow.

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Cesia, I am currently looking for a summer job. What I like most about this job is being able to help children develop as they grow and discover their environment. The advantage I offer is mainly help with homework of any kind, housekeeping, and food preparation. Some of my hobbies are drawing (I'm an architecture major), crafts, and I absolutely love classical music. I consider myself to be a person who knows how to connect with others, with good organizational skills, responsibility and punctuality, but above all, I enjoy doing what I do with love and patience.

Hey guys,
My name is Dakota and I am 24. I grew up as the oldest of 4 siblings so I was kind of a nanny from the start.
