A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Caitlin Duffy and I’m a current student at the University of South Carolina! I am going into the last semester of my junior year of college as a nursing major. I was previously a swim instructor at my local YMCA in Delaware, where I worked with parent child classes through adult classes. I also specialized in the YMCA’s SWAM program where I worked one on one with special needs children of all ages. I am currently CPR and first aid certified and will be available to get all other requirements needed. I also have a valid drivers license and a car available if needed! I aspire to work as a pediatric oncology travel nurse in the future and hope to gain more experience in child care prior to that career.

A little bit about me
Hello! I have always really enjoyed working with kids and have always thought of them as smaller and much more fun little adults. I am currently working on learning the Montessori way of teaching and raising kids in hope of teaching my own in that way some time in the future. I am hoping to change careers from health care into something that is a little easier on my body and I am looking into going back to school eventually some time in the future to continue working with children of all ages and needs.

A little bit about me
Hi there! My name’s Emily, but I go by Caroline, and I’m so excited to connect with you! I’ve been a nanny since I was 15 (I’m 21now), and caring for kids has always been such a joy and passion of mine. I’m originally from upstate South Carolina, but Im here in Columbia for school. I’d love to find a warm, welcoming family where I can truly become part of the team and build a meaningful bond with your little ones. A little about me: I’m currently studying Dental Hygiene, and I’m certified in First Aid and CPR. I also have my CCCMA, which means I’m well-equipped to handle both fun playtime and any health needs your kids might have. If it feels like the right fit, I’d even consider making the city my new home and transitioning into a full-time role with your family! I’d love to hear more about what you’re looking for in a nanny and how I can help make your family’s life a little brighter and easier. Let’s chat and see if we’re a perfect match!
