A little bit about me

Hi! During my time in college, I helped my professors look after their kids and found I really enjoyed it! I’m hoping that I’ll be able to gain more experience as a nanny if given the opportunity. I do also have over 8+ years of experience working in a retirement home before I left that field of work. Overall, I love helping people and it brings me a lot of joy to connect.

A little bit about me

Hi! My names Phoebe O’Bryan and I have been nannying/babysitting since I was 13. I am now 20 and want to continue to work with kids, one day becoming a teacher. In the past I have taken care of children from the ages of 2 months old to 12 years old. I’ve watched both boys and girls of all ages.
Most recently, I was a nanny for two school aged girls; ages 8 and 11. I was responsible for picking the girls up from school, helping with homework, preparing dinner, doing light housework and making sure chores were completed and done well, and helping with bath time.
My availablility at the time is very flexible so just let me know what kind of schedule you need and we can work something out!

A little bit about me

Hi, My name is Kaydence. I’m a 20-year-old Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) with 9 months of experience working with children. I’m caring, patient, responsible, and passionate about helping children learn, grow, and feel comfortable. My experience as an RBT has taught me how to be attentive to each child’s individual needs while creating a fun and supportive environment.

In my free time, I enjoy reading poetry, painting, and going on walks. I’d love the opportunity to care for your little ones and be someone you can trust! 💕

A little bit about me

My name is Gracie! I'm 22 years old, and I am a full time preschool teacher, looking to transfer into a full time nannying position. I am currently working towards getting my Childhood Development Associates. I'm CPR and First Aid certified. I have a little over 3 years in the teaching field, but have been babysitting since I was a teenager, and still babysit now when I'm able! I'm looking to work weekdays, but can be flexible with weekends occasionally. I can keep a tidy house, and look after any pets you may have as well!
