A little bit about me

With over 4 years of hands-on experience caring for children between the ages of 3 months to 5 years, I bring a strong foundation in early childhood care along with a genuine passion for helping young children grow, learn, and thrive. I am patient, energetic, and creative—qualities that help me connect easily with kids and keep them engaged in fun, age-appropriate activities that support their development.

I’ve completed all state-required childcare training in Kentucky, ensuring that I meet the highest standards for safety, professionalism, and child development. Whether it’s creating crafts, exploring the outdoors, or building routines that promote learning and independence, I strive to provide a nurturing and enriching environment for every child in my care

A little bit about me

Hello!

My name is Gracie, I am 23 years old and I am a momma to a beautiful baby boy!

I am looking to become a long term nanny or full time babysitter for someone in the Lexington area! I am looking for something full time preferably Monday thru Friday but can be flexible.

I come from a family of 7 kids, myself being the oldest, I helped my parents with my siblings everyday! My family has fostered and adopted 3 boys and all of them have their own needs — which has resulted in me having lots of patience and love for kids!

I have lots of experience babysitting and nannying for families with children of all ages as well as special needs. I would be more than happy to provide references as well! I am also CPR and First Aid certified.

Here's the kicker! I would need to bring my baby along with me, so whoever I work for would have to be okay with that!

I look forward to hearing from you!
