A little bit about me

Hi! I’m a proud mom of two amazing young adults (ages 23 and 19) and an involved aunt to six wonderful kids, from 4 months to 17 years old. I’ve been caring for children since I was 15 years old, and now at 43, I bring over 25 years of hands-on experience in childcare—including more than 16 years as a dedicated teacher.

I hold a bachelor’s degree and am currently working toward my master’s, continuing to grow my knowledge and passion for child development and education. I’ve worked with children of all ages and love creating a warm, safe, and structured environment where they can learn, laugh, and feel supported.

Outside of work, I enjoy staying active and spending quality time with my family. I love sports, going to the beach, fishing, and making the most of life’s simple moments. I’m dependable, nurturing, and truly love being a positive influence in a child’s life.

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Riley and I am an outgoing, young & driven individual. I recently completed college as a student athlete (soccer) and earned a Bachelor’s degree in Biology. I adore children and being a caregiver has always come natural to me. From a young age (14), I have always watched the neighborhood kids and have enjoyed my time being with and caring for children. In my experience, I have completed tasks such as: after school pick up, preparing healthy snacks, helping with homework & getting ready for after school activities, preparing dinner & household upkeep. In cases with younger children, I have experience making/giving bottles, changing diapers, teething & putting down for naps and night time. I like to plan activities that will keep kids active and creative, especially trying to lower screen time. Some activities I would plan: exercise (sports, bike rides, walks, play ground), baking, cleaning (it can be fun!), arts & crafts & games that reinforce life & school lessons.

A little bit about me

I am, and continue to work hard to be, a dedicated, nurturing, and experienced childcare provider. Within my six years of working with children (through Sunday school/summer camp teaching, babysitting, and full time nannying) I am passionate about providing a safe and stimulating environment. I am attentive and knowledgeable on the differences between age groups and their needs. I am greatly suitable for caring for groups of children, as I have been put in leadership positions. Along with my previous jobs, my high school education (Graduated May of 2025) and determination to maintain a 3.5+ GPA all four years points to my toolbag of skills I have accumulated.

SKILLS
These skills include: strong organization and time management, deep understanding of my responsibilities, problem solving with a calm and positive demeanor, encouraging emotional and social growth, prioritizing communication and flexibility with parents, patient and dependable while multi-tasking.

A little bit about me

Hi families! My name is Deborah, and I’ve been working with kids professionally since 2016. I started out at the YMCA as an after-school counselor for children ages 5–8 and loved it so much that I went on to become a summer camp counselor for two seasons. In 2018, I began working as a private nanny, and since then I’ve had the joy of caring for little ones from newborns all the way up to 12 years old.

I’m fluent in both English and Portuguese, which makes it fun to introduce kids to a new language through songs, games, and everyday conversation. I’m also currently working on my bachelor’s degree online, which allows me to stay flexible and dedicated to the families I work with.

My goal as a nanny is always to create a warm, positive environment where children can thrive and parents can feel at ease knowing their little ones are in great hands!
