A little bit about me

I've dedicated the last nine years to ensuring that every child in my care feels safe, loved, and stimulated. As a caregiver, I've had the privilege of witnessing the incredible growth and development of children, which fuels my passion for this work.

My calm and friendly demeanor puts children at ease, allowing them to express themselves freely. I believe in open and honest communication with parents and provide regular updates about their child's day. With a firm belief in consistency, I comfortably enforce household rules while still maintaining a nurturing environment.

With my background in early childhood education, I bring a wealth of knowledge and skills to my role as a caregiver. I'm certified in First Aid and CPR and have completed coursework in early child development.

I am also a certified 6 weeks through 5-year-old teacher. Which means that I can teach any child within that age range in a childcare facility or outside of one. I have 9 years of experience doing this!

A little bit about me

Professionally, I have cared for children as a dental assistant and not as a nanny. However I do enjoy being with children. I have two nephews that are toddlers that I adore and currently have a third on the way. I am described by family and friends as nurturing, responsible and most importantly reliable. I am constantly being told that I will make a great mom one day and I am really excited for that journey and would love the opportunity to not only care for but learn a few more things along the way.

A little bit about me

Hey, my name’s Cheyenne, i’m currently a student at USF to get my Bachelors degree in Health Science. I am first aid and CPR certified. I have been a babysitter/ nanny for as long as I can remember. I love being active, doing crafts, and spending quality time with kiddos who want to. I have always connected with kids very easily and I figured that since i’m not ready to have my own yet that i’d help other families instead.

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Jeena, and I recently moved to Port Saint Lucie with my husband. I have a Bachelor’s in Dietetics and a Master’s in Food Science and Human Nutrition from the University of Florida, and I’m certified in Basic Life Support (BLS). While I’ve worked as a registered dietitian in both clinical and outpatient settings—most recently with children, teens, and adults in eating disorder recovery—I’m returning to something I’ve always loved: working with kids.
I’ve been caring for children since I was 18, including summers at the LA Fitness daycare and nannying for families with kids ranging from toddlers to preteens. I’ve worked with twins, children with special needs, and love creating a fun, supportive environment where kids feel safe and cared for.
In my free time, I’m usually outside, doing crafts, cooking, or spending time with my two dogs. I’m dependable, patient, and love being around kids of all ages. I’d be happy to bring calm, creativity, and care into your family’s routine!
