A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Tanyia Redfield, and I have been working with kids since 2014. I was recently a nanny for a year for a lovely family. I am not their nanny anymore because they unfortunately didn't need me anymore so now, I am seeking an opportunity elsewhere. I am a 26-year-old mother to a cheeky 5-year-old little girl. Working with children is my passion. I hope to become a part of your family!

A little bit about me
My name is Emma and I am currently finishing up my undergrad degree in Psychology! I plan to get my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling specifically for children. If you ask anyone in my family, they will tell you that I was meant to work with children. Ever since I was old enough to take a babysitters class, I have been watching kids of various ages and there is really nothing I love more than spending time with kids. I am a big sister to 4 siblings ages 8, 10, 14, and 17. I was around to watch them grow up and to help my parents take care and raise them. I have also worked as a babysitter for countless families in the past 10ish years. I also currently volunteer with the organization Brooke's Place in which I work with children ages 3-18. My friends use the words compassionate, empathetic, humorous and bubbly to describe me. I have a reliable SUV and I love all pets! In my free time I enjoy spending time with friends, reading, pickleball walks and being outside to name a few
