A little bit about me

Hi! I have been nannying for 7 years with an incredible family. Their daughter is all grown up and I am needed less frequently. I started when she was 5 years old and watching her grow has been an incredible experience. I also was a nanny for many of the kids in her neighborhood as well. I love to stay busy and work hard. I am a dancer with an interest in creative hobbies. I love kids and can't wait to have one of my own. But until then the learning experience is beautiful.

A little bit about me

Hi I’m Morgan and I’m 25 years old! Both of my parents are elementary school teachers so I can feel the anxiety about growing children and chaotic lives. Don’t fret, I’m here to help! I have always had a love for children as I grew up in a huge family. Kids constantly running around and even raising some in my own home. I am patient and empathetic and I care more about genuine relationships with families than anything else. I am reliable and efficient with my time. I want to help make a difference in your child(rens) lives and help parents by putting their minds at ease when it comes to childcare. I believe in the importance of each developmental stage and am committed to being the best nanny. Thanks for reading :)

A little bit about me

Hi there! My name is Darby. I'm 24 years old and have over 6 years of experience. I have been with my current family for 2. 5 years (since the baby was 2 months old to now almost 3 years old), and my previous family of 3 boys for 3 years. I have been hired under a nannying agency in the past but have preferred to find my own clients. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I love being outdoors, going to the park to play, having picnics, and doing arts and crafts. I am a private, full service nanny who prides myself on my self management. The care I provide for every family is tailored to their specific needs and will continue to evolve alongside your family (housekeeping, laundry, meal preparation and transportation). If you would like to see my references I would be more than happy to share it with you.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Rachel. Ive been a nanny for 2 years and have been with the previous family for a year. The mom just got a new job so the girl I was taking care of is now in daycare and they no longer need me to come in regularly so now Im hoping to find another family to work with! Im looking to work 30-40 hours per week. For the last family I worked with, me and their daughter would have so much fun!! We would play, do arts and crafts, yoga, bake, dance/sing, go on outings (park, beach, hikes, museums), do educational games, read and occasionally we would watch a movie and get some cuddles in:)

Hopefully I can find another amazing family to work for!
