A little bit about me

Hello! I am a senior in high school at lane tech and will be majoring nursing in college in hopes to be a pediatric nurse in the future. I have worked at neighborhood boys and girls club for 6 years working with kids ages 5-13. Additionally I have babysat for 6 years as well with kids as young as newborn to 10 years old. Every summer for the past 5 years I have ran a K-1st summer camp group but this summer am hoping to work as a nanny once I’m out of school until I leave for college in August! I can provide a vast list of references especially references for those children newborn - 3 years old as that is the age of the babies I babysit most frequently !

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Jade.
I've had the opportunity to babysit children for the past 3 to 4 years, ages 5 months-11 years old and while it started as something I did occasionally, I'm now looking to take on more consistent opportunities. I am currently CPR and First Aid certified, ensuring safety is always a top priority. I was introduced to childcare through my mom, who has been a professional nanny for over 10 years. On her days off, some of the families she worked with would reach out to me when they needed a sitter and I was always excited to step in! I enjoy engaging children in learning activities, and other fun extracurriculars. I truly enjoy what I do. Thank you for taking the time to read my bio. I hope to hear from you soon!

A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Chasty, I've been taking care of children for over five years and take great pleasure in doing so. I began babysitting for my family mostly then, branched out to others in my community and within the city I lived in for longer job commitments. I genuinely enjoy working with children of all ages because I like seeing them learn and grow. I also adore the love I receive back from the children which makes my job worth the while. I am CPR, AED, and First-Aid certified for infants and adults. I am fully vaccinated. Consider me as your nanny if you want someone who is loving, nurturing, punctual, trustworthy, reliable, communicative and enthusiastic. As an experienced nanny I look forward to seeing how I can do my best to serve families.
