A little bit about me

Hi families!

I’m Carolina, a 23-year-old elementary school teacher from Colombia. For the past two years, I’ve been working as an au pair, gaining hands-on experience while loving every minute of it.

Being a teacher gave me a solid understanding of child development, pedagogy, and keeping kids engaged. As an au pair, I’ve guided children through their routines and life’s little adventures.

In 2023, I cared for three kids (ages 2, 5, and 6). This year, I’ve been with a baby I started with at 3 months old. So yes—I’m experienced with infants, toddlers, and school-age kids!

I’m a native Spanish speaker, fluent in English, CPR certified, and have a spotless driving record. I’m positive, adaptable, and believe open communication with parents makes everything smoother.

I’m looking for a live-out nanny position. I´ll be happy to provide references. Let’s chat if we’re a good match! ❤️

A little bit about me

Hi, everyone! My name is Kayla and I absolutely love kids! I am currently in the Cape Fear nursing program graduating in December. Some of my experience includes babysitting my baby brother (3 months old) everyday after school, until I went off to college. I recently babysat the sweetest little girl from 4 months old to 1.5 years old. One of my favorite things is watching the kids grow and learn new things and turn into little adults with all their attitude!! I would love to be apart of someone’s family and get super close to your little one :)

A little bit about me

Hello! I am 30 years old. I have been teaching first grade for the last 6 years in North Carolina. In moving away from NC, I decided to take a break from teaching. I love working with kids and I work at a summer camp during the summer. I've been working there for the last 16 summers working with kids ages 7-18 years old.

I was a nanny the year after I graduated college for three little boys while I was looking for a teaching position. I also worked at a preschool and Huntington Learning Center during that time.

I love to travel and I have been to 8 countries in the last 9 months.
