A little bit about me
The prompt said to keep it short and sweet, and well, that is exactly what I am! I am about 4'11 and a very enthusiastic nanny that loves to get the kids interacted in games indoors and outdoors. I have a major passion for art, so I always try to involve crafts into the day. I have a dream to use art in a therapeutic setting in order to help a child gain insight into how their mind works and how they can better control it! I enjoy playing games outside and keeping the screen time to a minimum. I am willing to work with all ages and can handle four to six kids with ease. I do not mind having a list of chores, errands, and meal prep during the week and can provide occasional weekend assistance as well. My goal is to provide as much peace for your home as I can manage. I am willing to learn and accommodate however I can aswell.

A little bit about me
I'm Trina! With 11 years of experience in babysitting and 7 years as a full-time nanny, I have developed a profound understanding and love for this profession. I'm 25 and have worked with children of all ages, which has greatly enriched my life and the lives of the families I have worked with. My approach to childcare is one that encompasses kindness, love and reliability. I strive to create a nurturing environment that encourages children to grow, explore, and express themselves creatively. Each childcare experience is an opportunity to discover new aspects of child development and education. This outlook has not only allowed me to provide better care but has also instilled a sense of curiosity and adventure in the children I work with. I'd describe my personality as loving, fun, and resilient. In my spare time, I like to spend time with my friends and travel! I love cooking, art, music, and spending time outdoors as much as possible. I'm always down for an adventure, planned or not!

"Trina was an amazing nanny to my son! Not only was she super proactive and a self starter, but she was also extremely kind and caring with my son. She taught him a lot of things before he started daycare which genuinely gave him such a head start already. Trina cares so deeply about the kids she works with and has been such a life saver in my husband and I’s lives. She’s become family. We have appreciated our time with such an important and amazing person that we feel lucky to have been able to have with us!"

"We were lucky enough to have Deja as one of our teacher's in daycare - she was sweet and knowledgeable in the classroom. I immediately could tell she cared deeply for her students and their growth - helping identify and achieve key milestones like first teeth, rolling, crawling and walking! We were delighted she was open to also babysitting in our home - She is trustworthy and loves on our kiddo, even picking him up from school and walking him home to babysit. I would highly recommend Deja for babysitting without question!"

"To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing to highly recommend Giselle as a nanny for your child care needs. She performed after-school and weekend nanny duties for my 5- and 8-year-old sons from March 2021 to January 2023.
Giselle is an incredibly patient individual who takes the time to meet even the rowdiest kids' needs. She always arrived early or on time, giving me peace of mind that my boys would be safe and supervised after school. Gi's positive attitude and enthusiasm for seeing children develop their skills and curiosity was admirable and irresistible."
