A little bit about me

Hi there. I am a nanny living in New York City. The family I am with now I have been with for over a year and have traveled with the family for weeks at a time and even internationally. The relationship I have formed with this family is so special to me, it is a difficult decision to leave but ultimately I am looking to relocate to San Diego so I am searching for the perfect family I can continue doing what I love with.

A little bit about me

Hi! Currently looking for a full time position(30-40hrs/week).

I have multiple experience with children from newborn to teens. I'd love to chat more to get to know one another and talk more about my experience and opportunity!

A fun fact about me is that I'm a Hula and Tahitian Dancer! I've been dancing since I was 5 years old! I grew up with a lot of younger cousins, and since I was older I would watch them. Now to me its fun and a great learning experience for the future mom in me.

I love to do more outside activities because I believe that many kids now just want to stay inside watch tv or some sort of technology. When I was growing up all I did was play outside and it really helped me be tuned into nature. You can say I'm adventurous person! Love going to the zoo, beach, sea world & childrens discovery museum!!

A little bit about me

Hi I’m a mom of two boys. Luckily mine are in school and I know how it is to be a parent . Needing to work but hard to find someone to help take care of the little people who we have to care and worry for and about all the time . I grew up in a big family so of course me being oldest I had to take care of all my younger nieces and nephews . I treat any kid I watch as if there were my own . I’m very respectful very polite and very aware to guide and do right not only by children but by parents

A little bit about me

Hi there! My name is Rachel, and I'm a 25 year old educator with 3 and 1/2 years of experience teaching as a preschool instructor and assistant. I recently relocated from Boulder, Colorado and am looking to work with a smaller group of children, as my passion is to work with younger generations but I'm taking a break from leading an entire classroom for the moment. I love being silly and creative and supporting children as they learn and grow. I have excellent communication, problem solving and social-emotional skills that have proven to be wildly successful. I am interested in working as an at-home instructor, as well as nanny, and most importantly, friend for your children.
