A little bit about me

I am a caring, dependable, and experienced childcare provider with over 10 years of experience owning and operating my own daycare. During that time, I cared for children of different ages, creating a safe, loving, and nurturing environment while helping them learn, grow, and develop important skills.

As a mother of two children myself, I understand the importance of patience, responsibility, and providing children with the attention and care they need. I enjoy planning age-appropriate activities, helping with routines, preparing meals, encouraging creativity, and making sure children feel comfortable and supported.

I take pride in being trustworthy, organized, and dedicated to every child in my care. My years of daycare experience have given me the skills and confidence to handle daily challenges while providing families with peace of mind that their children are in good hands.

A little bit about me

Hi families! My name is Liz Napier, and I’m a rising senior at Washington and Lee University double majoring in History and Romance Languages. Originally from Nashville, I have years of childcare experience and have been babysitting children ages newborn–12 since I was 16. Beyond childcare, I’ve worked as a personal assistant and as a housekeeper on a ranch in Wyoming, so I’m comfortable helping with meal prep, organization, errands, tidying, and keeping a busy household running smoothly. I love creating a fun, dependable, and engaging environment for kids while making parents’ lives easier however I can. I’ll be in NYC from June 3–August 12 and am looking for babysitting or nanny opportunities for the summer — I’d love to connect with families looking for dependable, hands-on support!

A little bit about me

Hello!
I am an NYC college student looking to work through the summer as a full-time nanny (June-August, 5 days a week)! I have approximately 3 years of professional childcare experience through babysitting (for 20+ families at a time) and as a summer camp counselor. Through these positions, I’ve had the privilege of learning with numerous neurodivergent children (autism/adhd, etc), I’ve learned lessons in conflict management and resolution, and I’ve helped children build long term healthy coping mechanisms. Before my professional career, I grew up with a mother in early childhood development who brought me along to meet her families and learn the tricks of the trade. Additionally, I love to have fun! On a sunny day, we’ll be doing scavenger hunts around the city and, on a rainy day, we’ll be baking up a storm for a tea party or a ‘fancy’ lunch. :) The possibilities are truly endless!

A little bit about me

My name is Leah, and I am seeking a full time nannying position this summer!

I have over five years of experience working with children as a nanny, babysitter, camp assistant director, dance teacher, tutor, and preschool literacy educator.

I am very child-centered in my approach to nannying - I aim to meet each child where they are at and respond with care, intention, and specificity. I believe that the care-centered relationships I build with children are the most important aspect of my work. I recognize the significance of a nanny's role in children's lives, and work to provide consistent care, emotional support, and compassionate behavioral management which is attuned to each family's values and culture.

As an art history major, artist, and dancer, I bring the values of creativity and exploration to every job I do. I love to engage with children through art projects and creative play activities that support literacy and open up a space for self-expression and connection!

A little bit about me

Hi! I am a mother of two, and was a stay-at-home mom when they were little. I loved being a mom and teaching my kids about the world. Impassioned about nature and humanity, I love to pique children's interest and encourage curiosity and joie de vivre. I have been teaching for the past 6 years--teaching environmental sustainability and ESL, as well as tutoring in core content classes. I have seen children under my care grow academically, socially, and emotionally. My little pleasures are introducing them to new foods they would never have otherwise tried and getting them to like them :). I have lived abroad in several countries, including France, Spain, and Indonesia (just to name a few), and speak English (as you can see), Spanish, and French. I love creative projects, adventure, reading, writing, biking, cooking, exercise ...it's a long list, but essentially, I love exposing kids to a world of fun and balance.

A little bit about me

I’m someone who truly enjoys being present with children and creating a safe, engaging space for them to grow. With my background in behavioral support, I naturally bring structure, patience, and understanding into my approach, while still keeping things fun and nurturing. I love encouraging creativity, independence, and confidence through everyday moments. Families would describe me as calm, attentive, and easy to trust, and I value building genuine, supportive relationships with both children and parents.
