A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Cheyane I’m an early high school graduate, 17 years old, and I’m planning to go to college to study nursing. I have experience babysitting and taking care of kids, including my younger brothers and their friends in the neighborhood. I’ve enjoyed taking them to the park and playing games with them, and I never got paid because I genuinely loved doing it. Now, I’m looking for a nanny job to gain more experience working with different children, which will also help me in my future nursing career.

A little bit about me

My name is Miles Hampton, and I am pursuing a doctorate in Trumpet Performance at the University of Kentucky. Originally from Spartanburg, SC, I have made Lexington my new home, where I am dedicated to my studies and the arts. Although I do not hold a first aid certification, I completed CPR training during my undergraduate studies, which equipped me with essential lifesaving skills.

Beyond my academic pursuits, I have two years of valuable experience as a teacher assistant at McCarthy Tezler School, where I worked closely with students with special needs. This role reinforced my commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of others. I am eager to contribute my skills and support in any way possible. It would be a privilege to assist and lend a helping hand.
