A little bit about me

I have been working with children since 2005 when I graduated high-school. Up until 2014 when I was awarded ssdi/ disability. But that does not interfere with me taking care of children.
I am 36 and a part of the LGBTQ community - no kids of my own due to PCOS.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Sienna, and I’m a dedicated, experienced nanny based in Lexington, Kentucky. I’ve been working with children of all ages, but I specialize in infants through preschoolers. I currently care for several families, including children ranging from 8 months to 4 years old.

Nannying is so much more than a job to me—it’s my full-time career and something I’m truly passionate about. I love creating a safe, loving, and engaging environment where kids can grow, explore, and thrive. Whether it’s planning sensory activities, helping with developmental milestones, or simply being a calming, consistent presence, I take pride in every part of what I do.

I’m currently looking for a full-time position with guaranteed hours so I can dedicate my energy to one amazing family long-term. I bring reliability, patience, and a deep love for caring for children into every home I work in.
