I am an experienced, responsible, loving caretaker who sees children as human beings with unique potential for joy and growth.

A little bit about me
Hi my name is Paris Cover and I recently graduated grad school from Savannah College of Art and Design in Atlanta! I’m working to move up to NYC for work and would love to get into nannying. I have been nannying multiple different families for years where I have had the opportunity to care for kids aging from infants to 10+ years old. I love working with kids and I am always looking for new and fun ways to get them up and moving. I am not CPR certified at this time but willing to get certified immediately. Hopefully I can provide what your family needs and lend a helping hand

Thank you for taking the time to read my bio! I am looking to help a family with newborn overnight care which I have provided for 5 consecutive years now. I have a gap between my current family and the next - June 1, 2025 - August [phone number hidden] weeks) and would love to support your family! :)
Quick facts: I have a BS in Child Development. I will receive my postpartum doula certification by end of June 2025. I have been a career nanny for over 10 years, 90% of children being newborn - 18months old at the start.
I value parents who are consistent yet adaptable to baby's needs, transparency and open communication, and positive language with baby. Feel free to message me at any time if you would like to see if we'd be a good fit!

A little bit about me
I am 22 years old, originally from Wisconsin. I have the pleasure of nannying on and off for a lovely family of five. I am certified in TEFL (Teaching English As A Foreign Language) and TEFYL (English for young learners) I am CPR and First Aid certified through my high school. My favorite part of being a nanny is coming up with qctivities to keep the magic going for the little ones. If your child enjoys stories, creative storytelling is one of my strongest suits. Children who have homework and will need help is also one of my stronger aspects of my work, I am strong believer in work first play later, math and reading are my specialties.

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Kinya! I am 21 and have had a passion for kids since I was a kid myself. I have always loved working with children, and I hope to pursue a career in it forever. I grew up with a mother who worked at my school with special needs children. From the age of 7, when my first little brother was born, I have taken care of my brothers. I was always babysitting, and just treating them as my own. When I entered high school I created my own business of working children's birthday parties as an entertainer/princess. I absolutely loved it. I was very big (and still am) into theatre, so I'm a great storyteller. I just recently completed an internship with The Walt Disney Company, working at Walt Disney World in Orlando. It was the best experience I have ever had. I learned so much. Anyways, I am super excited to see where my next adventure takes me, and I hope it's with your family! Feel free to contact me with any questions!

A little bit about me
Hello! Working with children is a true passion of mine. I have been teaching dance classes to little girls since college and got involved in gymnastics dance training before I became a fitness instructor for “mommy and me” programs in 2016. I later ran a pre school prep program in West Hartford, Connecticut that ran 2 days a week with 12 children. Just this past year I decided to take the experience of babysitting on the weekends and teaching/ running drop off programs for all ages to start nannying full time ! It’s been such a successful transition and I couldn’t be happier! My dream is to live in NYC and I believe doing what I love in the city I love would be a great opportunity! I am happy in Connecticut, but the thought of moving to New York full time would be priceless. I have worked with several types of families since I started full time but I currently work with 3 families weekly. I can provide all references upon request ! I look forward to hearing from you!
