A little bit about me

Hi, I'm Betsy! I have extensive babysitting experience, and I also worked as a full time nanny last summer with a family who had two boys. My daily duties included feeding the boys meals and snacks, transporting them to activities including camps and swim lessons, and spending lots of time playing and having fun. My responsibilities also included picking up after the boys and doing light housekeeping. I have an energetic personality and enjoy caring for children.

A little bit about me

I am 19 and just moved to Charleston to start my college career! I’m studying Psychology and hope to become a clinical psychologist one day, so this is great news experience. I am currently living in North Charleston but am willing to travel anywhere! I work at an organic food and smoothie shop Clean Juice, but I’m looking for some more hours! I have gained lots of experience with the little ones throughout my years of middle and high school babysitting, and become really close with the families that I get to spend time with! I’m not fluent in Spanish but I have a good basis for communication if needed! Please consider me as your nanny!

A little bit about me

I am hardworking, very compassionate and patient. I love children and have helped raise some of my family members for years. I know what it takes to teach a child, make them feel supported, keep them safe and have their best interest. I do not have certified nanny experience but I am confident anyone I have interacted with would gladly stand by my authenticity. I am also more than willing to get CPR and First aid and any other training necessary. To me the most important stage of life is being a child. It is the most innocent, joyful and influential part of someones life and I believe it should be treasured. I enjoy seeing the world through little ones eyes and letting them explore all life has to offer. I am reasonable, understanding and know how to take any negative and turn it into a positive. I can guide them to show kindness and have good manners so they feel supported. I have a grateful heart for little things in life and would love to share that with any little one!
