A little bit about me

I’m in the military just looking for a way to make a little extra cash. I have two younger siblings that I helped my mom raise and they’ve helped me come to adore kids. My work schedule isn’t too flexible due to my job in the military but I’ll try my best to work around it to fit your needs!

A little bit about me

I have over 10 years of experience as a nanny and have worked with children in many different capacities since I was 15 years old. I started out babysitting ages 2 to 5 and as a teacher assistant for 4th grade. I have since taught children's dance, gymnastics, & swimming lessons. I've directed children's film camps and previously worked at my gym. Along with my work as a nanny, I am also a trained postpartum doula and a pre/postnatal fitness specialist

As a nanny, I have handled school pick-ups, after-school actives, homework help, prepping school lunches, and making family dinners. My specialty is the unique ability to make any experience for children fun. I offer a nurturing routine to give children a sense of familiarity and safety, combined with a commitment to teaching core values such as sharing, patients, & honesty. I believe in showing up and being fully present and mindful when on the job.
