A little bit about me

Hello there! My name is Alyssa. I absolutely love working and bonding with children of all ages. I am a mama to a 3.5 year-old, so I know times aren't always easy. My son starts school in September and I am looking for a job that I can love another child like my own! My ideal job would be a recurring nanny. I have made nannying for families my full time job for over 2 years now and I have loved every second of it. I worked in childcare as a child watch caregiver for 2 years starting at ages 6 weeks through 12 years, and now I am nannying for private families. My son absolutely loves other children and I think the interaction is a great learning and social time. I love to do fun things! I can provide zoo trips, lunch days, parks days, etc.! I am available for in home care at your house as well as care in my home. I am CPR & First Aide certified and have my own transportation. My schedule is very open. Check out some of my reviews by families that have trusted me! Thank you!

A little bit about me

Hey parents! I’m Karma, an AUDHD artist full of compassion and enough energy to wear the whole family out. I have about 10+ years of experience caring for children and fondly look back on every family i’ve cared for. I spend my days making art pieces and doting on my sweet cat. I enjoy making projects that cater towards each child’s interests as I love to spark creativity and problem solving in children to keep that mind moving.
I am an avid cook/baker so don’t be surprised if you come home to the smell of cookies and dinner on the table.
I look forward to making new connections and creating tiny smiles that last a lifetime.

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Cathy and I’m 64 years young. I feel that I should explain my experience, I cared for my granddaughter every day after she was born until she started daycare at age 5. We wanted her to be able to tell if anything happened during daycare. I also have a second granddaughter that I watched if she would get sick or if daycare was closed. She was breastfed and she attended where her mom worked. I love kids of all ages, I believe they are gifts to be loved and cherished. I believe in interacting with kids and not just letting them sit for hours on an iPad or computer. I believe they need exercise and games to play that will challenge them. I realize I’m not certified in child CPR and that could stop you from wanting me, but I will tell you the absolute truth! Your child will be cared for in a loving manner and will be very well taken care of! You have my word on that. Thank you for taking the time to read this! Have a great rest of your day!

I absolutely love kids! Being able to help kids grow and learn is a great joy in my life. I plan on going back to school for elementary education.

"Meg took care of our baby the first 2 years of her life and we couldn’t have asked for a better nanny. As a new mom I was so nervous to let my baby leave my side but Meg would keep me updated with videos and pictures as I was at work and it truly helped so much! It was very nice to see such a young girl already so experience and gentle with a little baby. "
