A little bit about me

I am a second year student at university and I absolutely love kids. I have been babysitting my two younger sisters since I was 10 years old. I have many fond memories with babysitters when I was a kid and would love to create just as a fun experience for another family looking for a live in nanny. I am very responsible, very clean, and will stick to any and all parent and house rules with the kiddos. I am looking for a summer position with a sweet family.

A little bit about me

I am a responsible and caring nanny with experience caring for children of various ages, from infants to school-aged kids. I currently have one year of experience working at a preschool with children ages 1.5 to 5 years old, and I’m also studying Early Childhood Education, which allows me to apply my knowledge both in the classroom and in one-on-one care.

I am patient, reliable, and passionate about supporting children’s development through play, learning, and emotional connection. I have strong communication skills and a solid understanding of children’s emotional and developmental needs. I’m also comfortable with light housekeeping, preparing meals, and helping with homework. My priority is always to create a safe, positive, and loving environment where children feel happy, secure, and cared for.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Marion, and I am a big sister to four little sisters, so caring for children has been a natural part of my life for years. I may not have formal certifications yet, but I’ve gained real, hands-on experience with everything from helping with homework and creating fun activities to managing routines, meals, and emotional support.

I’m patient, responsible, and very attentive to safety. Kids naturally gravitate toward me because I’m calm, warm, and genuinely enjoy engaging with them in a positive way. I’m also comfortable helping with light housekeeping, tidying up, and simple meal prep to support the family’s daily flow.

Families can count on me to be dependable, respectful, and consistent. I truly love creating a safe, structured, and loving environment for children, and I’d be excited to be a supportive, trustworthy addition to your family.

A little bit about me

Hello, I'm Gennesys, 16 years old, and enrolled in the eleventh grade. My mother used to work some days and run errands on other days, so I had a lot of experience taking care of my younger siblings, who ranged in age from two to twelve. Being among children is something I adore! Since I want to educate younger children in the future, I would like working as a nanny!

A little bit about me

I am currently a senior college student-athlete that attends Fisher College, Boston MA. I have previous recreational work experience as a Camp Counselor at Forbes Recreation Center, Pinellas Park, Fl and the YMCA. I was required to watch youths from 6-13 years old and I've managed to coach a youth basketball league during the summer. I've also volunteered at the Veterans Affairs hospital to chaperon disabled military veterans around the facility for their medical appointments during the summer at Bay Pines Medical Center in Florida. I continued to do this for two summers, to reassure Veteran’s receive assistance to acquire the best care and services. Currently I am a Receptionist and an RA at Fisher College. I have acquired effective communication skills and critical thinking skills. In addition, I have developed computer programming skills such as Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. I am also an entrepreneur working as a cosmetic creator.
