A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Raegan! I have four years of hands-on experience working with children as a part-time nanny, occasional babysitter, and mentor at a nonprofit supporting kids and families battling pediatric cancer. I am currently studying Communication Sciences and Disorders at Northern Arizona University (NAU) with the goal of becoming a speech-language pathologist. Through my coursework, I have gained valuable knowledge about caregiver responsiveness, the building blocks of language development, and communication milestones for infants and toddlers—all of which help me create a nurturing and stimulating environment for the children I care for. I am CPR certified, have my own car, and am comfortable driving children if needed. I have experience caring for children ranging from 4 months to 9 years old and understand the importance of balancing creativity, independence, structure, and safety in a child's daily routine. I can provide references if needed!

Hello, my name is Bianca. I am responding with enthusiasm to your job posting for nanny or babysitter. My childcare career started in London, I cared for triplets while both parents were working full-time. The children were dropped off at my home at 7:00am and picked up at 5:00 after a full day of feeding, napping, playing, reading and trips to the local park. One of my most memorable childcare experiences was as a volunteer as a room mom at my daughters school, Grant School in Mission Hills, California. I would help the teachers each year in their classroom with whatever they would need. This included support in the classroom, arranging and supervising field trips and extracurricular activities. At this time I was also working for a family in Del Cerro as a house manager and nanny of their twin girls.

A little bit about me

My name is Diana. I'm looking for a full-time or part time nanny job. I'm open to doing extra hours babysitting during the weekends or for date nights. I’m located in Rancho Pe;asquitos and I'm willing to drive 15-20 miles.

I have 6 years of experience working with newborns up to 15-year-old kids. I'm a native Spanish speaker and am happy to teach if needed. I also have intermediate English skills.

I worked in this country as an Au Pair for two years. During that time, I took care of babies ranging from 4 months old to 2 years old.

Since I finished my program, I have been working taking care of multiple kids at the same time and of all ages.

I used to live with my nephew and niece from when they were newborns until they were 5 and 6 years old. I helped raise them, doing tasks like feeding, potty training, bath time, preparing meals, bedtime, and activities to help them grow up in a safe environment.

I'm a very active person, so I enjoy doing activities outside with them.
