A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Maggie :). I’m 20 and have baby sat since I was 16!! I’m currently taking a gap year from school- and I’m looking for an amazing family to nanny for. I love soccer, board games, and to cook. I’m stern- but not overly. And I love to make kids laugh, my strongest trait with kids is my ability to relate!! And calm them down from a potential melt down. Feel free to text me if you have any questions :)

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Santina, and I'm from Florida! I just moved here to Lexington a year ago and I’m 24 years old. Whether it's exploring the beautiful landscapes of Kentucky, diving into a good tv show, or spending time with friends and family, I always try to make the most out of every day. I love learning new things. I'm excited to meet new people and share my experiences along the way!
• I also have experience with children, as I have a wonderful niece and nephew. Spending time with them has taught me a lot about patience, creativity, and the simple joys of life. We love doing all sorts of activities together, like playing games, reading stories, ect. Watching them grow and learn is truly rewarding and has given me a deeper appreciation for the importance of family!
