A little bit about me
Hi, my name is Angelica Acosta! I recently moved to Columbia, SC from Irvine, CA to help with the campus ministry at USC.
I grew up with 2 younger sisters and one nephew who I basically raised. During college, I babysat a fun, energetic 3 year old boy for about a year and a half. I was also a nanny to a 2 year old child for my ministry leaders. I was in Children's Ministry for half of the year at my church. Before leaving California, I was a nanny to a sweet, adventurous 3 year old boy for almost 2 years.
My responsibilities include crafts, tutoring, reading, cooking, changing diapers, and driving to/from places.
I love being around children! I believe it is important as adults to teach them principles at such a young age because these are the years where they retain so much and are easily molded.
I also offer house services. I can cook, clean, and run errands. Organizing is a fun, relaxing activity for me to do.

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Julie and I have been caring for children for over 6 years. I have one daughter of my own that I stayed home with full time (until Kindergarten) and I also worked as the neighborhood babysitter for years. Currently, I teach English to children in China. I started a small online school in 2018 and I absolutely love it! Prior to this, I spent one year living in China, teaching grades 7, 8, and 9.
I love children but am also open to sit with the elderly. For years, I volunteered at various Senior Living facilities. I truly enjoy spending time with those that are a bit older and wiser than myself. I have learned so much from these visits and the residents seem to really enjoy it, as well.
I do not have any pet allergies so I am available for house sitting, pet-sitting, ...even maid service. I am happy to help in any way that I can and I look forward to hearing from you!

A little bit about me
Hi, my name is Alicia White, and I have many years of experience caring for children of all ages. I began babysitting at a very young age and later spent two years working in daycare settings, where I gained hands-on experience with infants through school-aged children up to 12 years old. I’m patient, dependable, and truly enjoy supporting children’s growth, safety, and daily routines. I’m looking for a nanny position where I can provide attentive, nurturing, and reliable care to a family.
