Hi Families! My name is Jessica and I am looking forward to meeting a new family to work with, as I just moved here from Chicago. I absolutely love children and I have plenty experience working with them.
I have been a teacher for the past fives years, teaching kindergarten and third grade.
I have been a summer/after school nanny for ten years. My experience includes transportation, meal prep, light housework, homework help, and planning activities!
In addition to teaching and nannying, I was a club volleyball coach for three years. I am a former collegiate athlete, so I love to stay active and keep the kids going!

A little bit about me
Hi, I'm Brooke!! I just moved to James Island from Indianapolis. I have extensive experience working with children ages newborn to 12 years and have worked with special needs children as old as 24. I currently work as an ABA therapist providing therapy to children with Autism diagnoses. I have been in this field since 2018 and love it, but am looking to change careers. I am hoping to find a family that I can grow with and be a part of. I value those connections and think everyone, children included, can benefit from connections like that as well.

Hi! My name is Erin and I am currently in nursing school. I will not be taking classes over the summer and I'm looking for a full time nanny position from May through July. I also have availability now to babysit on nights and weekends.
I graduated from CofC in 2010 and made my way back to Charleston for a new career path. I have 20 years of babysitting/nanny experience and absolutely love the work. I've always enjoyed working with kids and gain so much purpose and perspective when I do. Children are really the best teachers sometime!

Hello! :)
My name is Leah OLeary. I just recently graduated as a biology major from CU Boulder. I love to cook and I have a passion for nutrition and yummy food! I love working with kids and creating fun activities to play! Other than my nannying experience, I have first aid and CPR certification as well as nurse aide training. I also have experience preparing delicious meals for children with some dietary restrictions. My dream is to write a children’s cook book later on in the future :)
I am available throughout this summer part-time, but will be taking nutrition classes as well. I love arts and crafts and anything outdoors! Would love to connect with you and meet the kiddos!
Looking forward to hearing from you!

"As a single working father of 2 Lisa was such a pleasure to work with. Lisa not only watches my children, she engages with them, takes care of them, listens and takes part in their interest which i appreciate. She treats my children like they're part of her own family. She's kind, sweet, patient, highly motivated, and always willing to put my Emma and Johnathan first.
On weekends my children are always wondering when auntie Lisa is going to come and visit. She is wonderful and I highly recommend her services."

"She has the most loving, caring heart. It is apparent Brittany loves children and she goes the extra mile to make them feel special, buying them special treats out of her own pocket, bringing in party hats, treats and gifts to celebrate not only her own birthday, but the children's birthdays!
She takes the time to make your child feel like the most loved child in the world.
Brittany is the true embodiment of Mary Poppins, and was born to care for children.
My child and all the children in her classes adore her. "

"We only had a few short months with Carol before we moved. From the start Carol was amazing with our infant. Communicative, patient and fantastic with children! Whenever I'd pick up or drop off I was in awe how calm and happy the kiddos were! Id highly recommend Carol for your childcare needs and wish we could find someone like her in our new home! ❤️"

A little bit about me
Hi! I’m Gabby! I have a degree in Psychology with minors in Leadership Studies and Business Management. I’ve always loved working with children. I have several years of experience working in recreation programs with kids of all ages, where I’ve supervised activities, coached youth sports, and helped create a fun, safe, and positive environment. I also have long-term babysitting experience caring for twins and a toddler, so I’m comfortable managing multiple children and different ages at once. I’m dependable, patient, energetic, and love staying active, whether that means playing outside, doing crafts, helping with homework, or coming up with fun activities. My background in psychology has also given me a strong understanding of development, behavior, and the importance of creating a supportive environment for children. I truly enjoy building relationships with both kids and families and would love to find a family I can become a trusted and reliable part of!
