A little bit about me

Hey, my name is Naomy, I'm 16 years old, and I am looking for a nannying job for this summer, and I hope to give your kiddos great company! If it appeals to you, I am also a Christian and have a strong relationship with God. If you prefer for me not to talk about religion in front of your kiddo, then that is fine as well! I am willing to do light housekeeping as well!

A little bit about me

Madison | 30 | Wilmington, NC I've lived in Wilmington my whole life, and I love it here. I might move someday, but I think it's a wonderful place to raise a family. Since I was 18, I’ve gone back and forth between working in retail and being a nanny, but caregiving is where my heart is. Supporting kids, helping them grow, and making a difference in their lives is incredibly rewarding. I also love knowing I’m helping parents by reinforcing their values and making their lives easier. Plus, being a nanny is way more fun than any office or retail job in my opinion! In retail, I’ve held supervisor roles and thrived as a team leader. I’m highly organized, which led me to take charge of stockrooms. While I appreciate those skills, I want to apply them to something more meaningful—childcare. Outside of work, I enjoy creating art, cooking and spending time outdoors, My hope is to find a long-term family I can support, where I can truly make a difference and build a strong, lasting bond.

A little bit about me

I’m a 24 year old female, heavily into cars, reading, and being outside! I have type 1 diabetes, which I feel is relevant to let you know, but also know that I am healthy and take great care of it! I can provide house work, meal prep, get your groceries, etc. I used to nanny for my Aunt when I still lived on the west coast, from ages newborn up until 8 years old. I’m not currently CPR certified, but I’ve been through multiple classes ranging from infants to adults, and went through EMT school. I’m planning on going to the fire academy in late 2025!

I do not own a 4 door vehicle right now, so I cannot drive children around who aren’t able to sit in the front seat, but I have a clean driving record and a valid license with insurance, so if you have a vehicle available for me to drive kids around in the mean time, I can get a copy of my driving record for you!

Let me know if you’d like to talk!
