A little bit about me

Hi there! I’m Lauren, a loving and energetic nanny with 9 years of experience caring for children from newborns to preteens. As a 25 year old with a deep passion for helping kids grow, I absolutely thrive in environments where I can encourage their curiosity and development. I’m all about making every day exciting, whether it’s through creative games, fun activities, or educational adventures that spark their imaginations. With my positive energy and a heart full of care, I love to create a nurturing and engaging atmosphere where kids can learn, play, and grow to their fullest potential. If you’re looking for someone who’s dedicated, creative, and always up for an adventure, I’d love to hear more about your open role!

A little bit about me

My name is Amaya Fernandez, I am 20 almost 21 years old. I currently work at the airport and do school online as well. I’m a big sister and been looking after children pretty much my whole life. I love kids I think it’s important for children to be around positive and encouraging environments considering they are our future and love playing a hand in helping shaping their young minds. I love to cook, bake, read, do arts and crafts and swim. I’d consider myself an active, caring, and smart individual. And I’d love any opportunity to help your household in any way.
