A little bit about me
Hey! My name is Lina, I’m currently in school to get my bachelors in MIS. I have been nannying well over 8 years. When I have free time I enjoy spending time with my girls. We like to paint, take cooking classes or go skateboarding. I love love loveeee kids. As a kid when my family would ask me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I always responded with being a mom. I’ve been a teacher’s assistant in a couple off early child education facilities but I prefer nannying. My favorite age group to work with are toddlers. Specially those terrible twos. Since I am a student, I am available after noon except on fri-sun. I am avalible all day.

A little bit about me
I am a nature lover who enjoys being outside exploring. With a background in sociology & social work, I am hoping to continue my education over the next several years to eventually become a children‘s grief counselor! I am passionate about building community & safe, communicative relationships—including in my work with families I nanny for!
In my free-time, I enjoy trialing new art mediums, reading, spending time with my cats, and learning about whatever seems interesting at the time!
I deeply value openness and love for all. I, myself, am neurodivergent and take particular interest in working with children who experience sensory sensitivities, special interests, and intense emotions. Using my own experience and skills I have learned, I find I am often able to help children work through intense emotions in a compassionate and supportive manner.

A little bit about me
Hi! I’m Alex. I’m currently in college to become an American Sign Language interpreter, but I also love kids and have been nannying for the past 2 years professionally and past 5 through my moms business. I love working out and being active, so keeping up with children is not a problem for me- I actually enjoy it a lot. I love doing crafts and getting minimal screen time for the kids. I love making sure they use their imagination in play and play in with their imagination games as well. I can also aid in light housekeeping- dishes, laundry, tidying up the house, etc.
