A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Sam!
I have been a full-time nanny for 3 years. I have nannied children in the age ranges 0-12 yrs. I have also done date night sitting for the past 5 years.

Nannying is the best job I've ever had - I really enjoy creating a professional relationship with the parents to foster growth in the children's lives. I also enjoy taking kids to the zoo, library, and park.

I am BLS (CPR and AED)/First Aid/Bloodborne Pathogens certified. I have references, and my driving record available as well. I am fully vaccinated. I am comfortable with animals and driving children to and from school/sports.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my friends and family.

I look forward to hearing from you!!

A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Nicole. I have 3 children ages 4, 7, and 11. I have 3 years of childcare experience aside from being a parent. My husband is military and I have worked at the childcare development centers on the bases we have been stationed at. We are permanently stationed here now since this is our hometown so I would love to find a long term family to help! Something that I feel is important to note is my 4 year old goes to preschool Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Other than those time frames, she will need to be with me. I am happy to provide care in my home in northwest Fort Wayne or come to you. I am happy to provide light housekeeping, help with homework, or any errands that might need done to help. I am also fine with pets.
I look forward to hearing from you!
Nicole

A little bit about me

I am a senior in the choral music education program at PFW. I spend a lot of my free time singing and performing in ensembles at school. I worked at a daycare for over a year as a lead School-age teacher, and I enjoy working with elementary age children the best, however I also have plenty experience working with all ages between 1-12. Our class sizes were also fairly large at the daycare, so I'm certain I will do well with your kids.
