A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Julie, I am almost 24 years old and have professionally worked with children for over 2 years, but have grown up taking care of my younger cousins. Physical activity, creative arts, and education are all very important things to me that I hope to bring to the children that I work with. I am a pretty easy-going and friendly person and want to find a family that is the same way! As a nanny, I want to keep children safe, happy, and enriched!

A little bit about me

Hi families,

my name is Jennifer, I am 34 years old, born and raised in Germany and have worked as a full time nanny for over 11 years. I love working with all age groups and especially have a lot of experience working with infants and toddlers. I can adapt to your parenting style or bring my own style to the table, which I would describe as caring, fun, responsible and guiding. I love taking your little ones out to the zoo, museums, parks or come up with age appropriate activities at home for example reading, arts and crafts or educational games. Keeping your little ones safe will always be my top priority throughout the day. Additionally I am happy to help you around the household, like organizing, doing laundry, dishes, meal preparation and keeping the place tidy and neat so that you can relax after a long day at work and spent the rest of your day with your loved ones.

I am hoping to hear from you soon.

A little bit about me

Hello! I am a 21 year old college student. I am studying criminal justice and plan on pursuing a career in law enforcement in a couple of months and work for a special victims units and help with crimes against children. I have been working with kids ever since I was 15, I currently work at an afterschool youth program with middle schoolers but that is coming to an end soon so I would like to Nanny again since it would help me still be able to do homework and study. I love to hike, be outdoors, watch shows, hangout with friends. I am a very outgoing person and I think that's what makes me good with kids. I would love to be your Nanny !

A little bit about me

Hi there! My name is Shannon! I have worked with kids what feels like my whole life. I have worked for private babysitting agencies, preschools, clinics, and currently in an elementary school setting. I value keeping fun and education during my care. I try and do activities often so kids aren’t always having screen time - and try my best to keep you involved by sending pictures throughout the day. If you are needing someone during those summer days, I am your gal!

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Kaileigh, (pronounced Kylie), and I’m a 19 year old student. I love going being outside, doing crafts, cooking/baking and would love to hang out with your kids! My passions include the beach, reading, writing, music, photography, graphic design, childcare, and medicine. I am currently studying Anesthesiology technology and hope to pursue a career in the medical field. I love yoga and coffee, I was a Starbucks barista for almost 2 years in high school. I love animals, I have 3 dogs and used to have a tortoise who sadly passed away recently. I have no problem tutoring, cleaning, cooking, running errands, or doing basically anything you ask of me. I have tons of babysitting experience seeing as I am the oldest sibling and oldest cousin in my HUGE family. So, I have always had the responsibility of watching/ caring for my younger family members. I am not as experienced nannying but I would love to break into the business if you'll let me! I can't wait to meet you!
