A little bit about me

Hi there! I’m Delaney, an experienced nanny looking for a full-time weekday position with a great family. Monday through Friday, roughly 6-8 hours a day. I nannied all throughout high school and college and it was honestly one of my favorite parts of those years. Now, after several years in a corporate role, I’m ready to take an extended step back and return to work that I love.

I’m comfortable with kids of all ages and happy to pitch in beyond just childcare. I enjoy cooking for kids and can take care of driving and errands, as well as household cleaning, so families get real support. I’m calm, consistent, and easy to communicate with. I take routines seriously, keep parents in the loop, and treat every home I’m in with genuine care and respect.

A little bit about me

I absolutely LOVE kids! I have a 7 year old little girl myself and she is my world! I do miss her being a baby or toddler, it was always so much fun playing with her and holding her until she’d fall asleep. I also grew up taking care of of my siblings since my parents worked a lot. So I’ve been watching and taking care of children for a very long time! I enjoy it! It makes me so happy and knowing that all the little ones I have watched over the years adore me and always get super attached to me, and I can say the same. I am certified in first aid and CPR but I will be going to get it renewed because it’s about to expire. But I would love to meet with you and your families! Get to know each other and see if we can build a connection! Thank you so much!
