A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Violet, I have a deep passion for childcare.
In high school I was a camp counselor and transitioned to being a nanny throughout college.
During that time I was gifted the opportunity to care for children aging 3 months to 5 years old.
I have an extensive background in caring for neurodivergent children. I couldn’t imagine doing anything else, it’s incredibly rewarding.
I graduated from the university of Cincinnati this year, receiving my BA. I’m looking to move to NY to establish residency to pursue my masters degree… eventually.
Feel free to contact me and I can email you my resume with a more detailed list of my childcare/nannying experience.
During my free time I enjoy hiking, swimming reading and listening to jazz.
I look forward in hearing from you!

A little bit about me

My name is Ava, Growing up, my mom ran an in-home daycare, so childcare has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I even learned how to change diapers when I was six years old! I also helped care for my younger brother throughout his baby and toddler years, which gave me a lot of hands-on experience from a young age.
I have experience working with children of all ages. I worked in an elementary school after-school program with kids ranging from kindergarten through fifth grade, and I’ve also nannyed for a family with three children all under the age of five. I truly enjoy creating a fun, safe, and caring environment for kids.
I’m CPR certified from my time working as a patient care assistant in a hospital, where we regularly renewed our certification. Working with children is something I’m passionate about, and I plan to pursue elementary education in college because becoming an elementary school teacher is one of my future goals!

A little bit about me

Hello. My name is Joanna. I'm originally from Northern California. I am a very experienced giver of care to children and young people. I began watching children when I was still a child, so I have over 20 years of solid experience with kids. I have worked with special needs children off and on for the last 15 years. Among the other professions that I've had are: lifeguard, a firefighter, a home-schooling teacher, caregiver, and I taught art and various things while working with a camp for children.

I am happy, kind, smart, healthy, full of energy, and able to cook tasty meals. I am naturally interested in helping people and I spend a lot of time making sure the people around me are well.

I am an advocate for the environment and live with a next to zero carbon footprint. I recycle, eat organic, and think about my actions.
I speak fluent French, like to play outside, and I'm looking for a live-in nanny position.

I am eager to work ASAP.
Merci en avance,
Joanna
