A little bit about me

Hi I'm Marleigh, I am 22 years old. I have worked as a Nanny for the past year and a half for a military family. Before that I worked for 2 years at the learn and play in Colorado Springs. I went to Pikes Peak Community College and to get my associates in Early Childhood Education. While I was going to school a family of 3 children under 6 reached out and I became a full time nanny for them. They got stationed to Alexandria, VA and asked me to move with them. I decided it was the best option for me, and now I'm here! I have been with this family for an over a year now! Unfortunately they are getting stationed to California in October, therefore I'm looking for a new position. I love being outdoors, and experiencing new places around here, since I'm fairly new here! Overall, I have about 12 years of childcare providing experience, and would love to meet your family!

A little bit about me

My name is Samantha and I’m a caring, patient, and responsible person who enjoys working with children. I’ve cared for kids of different ages, helping with daily routines like meals, bath time, and bedtime, as well as assisting with homework and fun, educational activities.
I believe children learn best when they feel safe, loved, and encouraged. I create a positive, playful environment where kids can grow and have fun. I’m good at keeping spaces tidy, following parents’ instructions, and communicating openly about the day.
I love being active with kids—reading stories, doing crafts, playing outside, and helping them discover new things. My goal is for children to feel comfortable, happy, and supported while giving parents peace of mind.
I’m reliable, punctual, and I genuinely care about each child’s well-being. I’m excited for the opportunity to help take care of your kids!
