Hello,
My name is Sorel. I am 22 years old currently enrolled in College for pre-med into Pediatrics. I have been nanny for 5 years and I love every thing about every different child I have taken care of; I love to go to the parks read books, cook an amazing pasta recipe, watch movies, go out on walks. I am the oldest in my family and I have a brother who is 12 years old and a sister who is 3 years old.
I'd describe my personality as fun, caring and dedicated.

In my spare time, I like to read, go for a walk, listen to music and spend quality time with my family!

A little bit about me
Hi, my name is Angel! I have always loved caring for children and I’ve finally decided to pursue it full-time. I am the youngest of 10 and have 24 nieces and nephews. My oldest niece is 15 and my youngest niece is 9 months old and naturally have been the built in family sitter since I was 13. I was a Sunday School teacher for 4 years, teaching large groups (~20 children) of 3-6 year olds for about 2 hours every weekend. I have also volunteered at many youth events as a leader. I have cashiering experience and spent time working in kitchens. I volunteered for Young Life for two years, a youth ministry program with a focus on building safe communities for students. I spent the summer of 2019 lifeguarding. I have a passion for reading, music, film, and sports. I also learned how to ski when I was three and absolutely love it. I attended Rutgers University, but have decided to take a break. I have always felt called to work with children and I hope you give me a chance!

Hello,
My name is Libby and I am interested in helping you and your family out. I have continually cared for children of all ages since I was 14 years old. I love being around children and I have a passion for caring for them. I am 28 years old, and I consider myself very respectful, responsible, and reliable. I take care of children as if they were my own. I have had experience with children from a few months old to 15 years old. If there is anything the parent(s) needs to get done, I will go out of my way for them, and make sure their family is being taken care of. I can help with homework, light cooking and cleaning, craft activities and games, and prepare for bed time (reading, bath, etc). Also, I feel comfortable taking care of any sick child. I can provide any reference if the parent(s) need them. I also have a detailed childcare resume.
Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you!

A little bit about me
At my core, I am a warm, energetic, and highly creative person who has spent the last four years channeling a genuine love for kids into my passion for childcare. My heart is entirely in what I do; I find endless joy in being a positive role model, watching children grow, and sparking their imaginations through active play, arts, and crafts. I pride myself on being patient, highly reliable, and deeply empathetic, naturally building strong bonds of trust with both children and their parents. Creating safe, nurturing, and fun environments where kids feel valued, happy, and truly heard is the most rewarding part of my life, and I am dedicated to bringing that same warmth, enthusiasm, and care to every family I work with.
