A little bit about me

Hey, everyone! My name is Janae. I am 25 years old and I have a degree in healthcare administration from the University of Francis Marion! I have over 5 years of babysitting experience. My 2 most recent positions were with military families. One with 3 children and the other family with 2 children. Both full time positions. I have now been working remotely for a year and I am excited to get back into nannying as a second full time or part time job. If you are interested, please feel free to message me at your earliest convenience and I’ll be happy to answer any additional questions.

A little bit about me

Supporting others has always been a deeply rewarding journey for me, allowing me to form genuine connections and provide care during some of life’s most delicate moments. Over the years, I’ve built a wealth of hands-on experience, from babysitting and assisting children to caring for individuals with special needs and providing home care for the elderly. My expertise spans both physical and emotional support, whether through nurturing a child’s growth, g-tube feeding, wound care, or managing other specialized medical needs. Alongside technical proficiency, my training and dedication enable me to prioritize safety, encourage independence, and create an atmosphere of comfort for those I care for. Whether assisting children or adults, knowing that my efforts positively shape someone’s life brings me a deep sense of purpose and fulfillment.

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Sadieya (Suh-DIE-yuh), but everyone calls me Sadie. I’m a full-time college student USC. I’m a music major, planning to become a voice teacher and teach young children how to sing. I come from a big family so I grew up babysitting. I love children; they’re my most treasured passion. I have several younger cousins whom I thoroughly enjoy taking care of. Because of how many children I’ve babysat previously, I learned the importance of being fully engaged with children when you’re caring for them, which is exactly what I promise to be. I’m also incredibly conscious and passionate about nutrition, and I’m aware that each child will have their own necessities in the nutrition aspect. Thank you!
