A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Bessie, and I'm a 24-year-old experienced nanny who has been working with children since 2020. I have experience caring for children from 3 months to 15 years old and genuinely love what I do!

I'm fun, outgoing, relaxed, dependable, and nurturing. I take pride in becoming a trusted and supportive part of the families I work with. In my current role, I also work as a house manager, helping with laundry, errands, organizing, and maintaining the home. I'm open to nanny, house manager, or combined positions!

I love creating fun, engaging, and stimulating experiences for children. I believe in getting kids out of the house for activities, adventures, learning opportunities, and plenty of play!

I'm passionate about creating a safe, warm, and loving environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun. I'd love to connect and see if I could be the right fit for your family!

A little bit about me

Hi my name is Emily, I’m 18 years old and I just currently graduated from Snider High School. I currently work at Wings Etc. And I love it there but my interest is in taking care of children. I have tons of younger siblings whom I take care of all the time. I’ve always been told that I’m great with kids and so I thought I should put my interests and skills into use and become a nanny.
