A little bit about me

Hello!! I have been working with children all my life and my mother was a nanny so it just runs in the family! I was previously a preschool teacher for ages infant (2m+) to 5y/o. I have more experience with the older kiddos as I’ve taken care of 6-9y/o as well when I was a lead camp counselor! I used to have two nannies when I was younger and although I don’t remember much about them, my mom tells me that I had so much fun with them and vice-versa. I also have experience with pet-sitting! I’ve got 3 pets myself and they are a joy!! Sometimes it’s a struggle but that’s what patience is for :). I am trying to make my way in this world and I’d like to do that through our youth! Nurturing young minds and creating a soft, comfortable, and compassionate environment is what I aim for.

A little bit about me

Hi! My names Maddy, I’m 24 years old, I don’t have much if any paid experience as a nanny but I have 2 nieces ages 2 and 6 and a 4 month old nephew that I’ve had experience babysitting, my mom also retired after 25 years of working at parents as teachers so I’ve learned a lot of early childhood development from her. I love kids and pets of any kind and would really enjoy finding a part time nanny position, thank you!

Hi there! I just moved from Michigan to Missouri a few months ago with my mom. When I lived in Michigan, I was a live in nanny with a friend to help her with her two year old daughter and nephew. I also watched a 10 year old boy over night 3 days a week. I am looking for a nanny job because I love kids and helping others. I can cook, do laundry, and housekeeping.

A little bit about me

Nurturing young minds is truly my passion. With three years of experience in daycare and babysitting service, having cared for children aged newborn to 11, I offer a patient, creative, and friendly approach to childcare. I have some college experience. I am comfortable caring for one child at a time, providing a safe and stimulating environment where they can learn and grow. I enjoy engaging children with outdoor sports, board games, and educational activities. I am happy to assist with cooking, light housekeeping, carpooling, travel, crafts, and swimming supervision. I am certified in First Aid and CPR. I follow the parents' lead when it comes to household rules and communication preferences, providing verbal updates and regular texts. Knowing I can make a positive impact on your child's life and offer you peace of mind is what I find most rewarding.
