A little bit about me

I am a very caring and nice mother. I have a baby toddler. Stay at home mom just looking to make some extra cash☺️
If I’m able to bring my son to work with me it would be great! He’s just a toddler.
If not then we can still work something out.
If children needed to be picked up from school and dropped off I am willing to work on that also.

A little bit about me

I’m 17 and just finished my junior year in high school. I’m looking to make some extra money to save up for college. I am a soccer player so I would love to kick a ball around with your kids and get them outside to have some fun but I can also do some fun crafts with them too. I have 3 brothers and one that is 7 years younger than me so I have experience with younger kids and I also have had a few different dogs in my life so I’d be happy to take care of your kids and pets whenever possible.

A little bit about me

I am a passionate and dedicated nanny who loves creating a nurturing, engaging, and fun environment for children. With a warm and energetic approach, I build strong bonds with both kids and parents, ensuring open communication and support through every developmental stage.

Beyond daily care, I go the extra mile—whether staying late for date nights, caring for children overnight, or keeping parents updated with photos and check-ins. I plan enriching activities, organize playdates, and introduce kids to new experiences like cooking, learning Portuguese, and potty training.

Reliable, responsible, and attentive, I take pride in fostering lasting relationships with families. For me, being a nanny isn’t just a job—it’s a true passion.
