A little bit about me

My name’s Ella, and I love working with children. I’ve been a private nanny for 4 years now, but I’ve been babysitting/caretaking since I was 12. I’m patient, caring, and compassionate but when needed I lay down rules and stand my ground. Over the past for years I’ve really grown as a nanny, and I’ve also learned so much for the kids I watched.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Caroline, I’m 23 years old, and am moving to Charleston in early August. I’m originally from St.Louis and have been caring for children my whole life. From helping in my mom’s preschool classroom, to babysitting, nannying, and working as a Kindergarten Aide, I have many years of experience working with children ages 6 weeks to 12 years old. I have a BA in Elementary Education and a minor in Early Childhood Education, and love to learn with your little ones. I am looking for a full-time position (around 40 hours/week). I am CPR certified and I charge $20/hour for one child and $25/hour for multiple. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions :)

A little bit about me

Hey there! My name is Lucy!
I just moved to South Carolina from Minnesota and definitely have no regrets.
I have nannied for about 4 years now and absolutely love it! Being a nanny brings me so much joy and each child I have watched is such a blessing. I have babysat 10+ other families on the side of being a nanny for one family. The youngest baby I have cared for was 5 weeks and the oldest I have watched was 11.
Something I love to do besides watching kiddos is going on walks, running, cycling, and spending time with family and friends!

I would love to get to know you and your family! Please reach out! :)
