A little bit about me

Retired professional figure skating coach, Ice Dancer, and Biochemistry, Business, and Russian Studies graduate from The University of Texas at Austin; 2017.

I've been working with children in a variety of different settings for almost a decade as a nanny, babysitter, academic tutor, mentor, and group/individual skating coach. I've always been passionate about serving as a positive role model and caretaker for children!

I started working as a nanny in 2016 part-time before transitioning to a full-time position in the fall of 2017. Since then, I have continued working as a nanny and transitioned into hybrid roles with duties as a Family Assistant, Personal Assistant, and House Manager for families. In the fall of 2022, I moved to NYC and worked for several families in Manhattan before making the move in April 2025 to South Bend, Indiana to be with my fiancé. I'm looking for full-time, part-time, and one-time positions for families in the area and able to start immediately!

A little bit about me

Hi! I am a senior in high school. I am very kind and loving. I like hanging out with my friends. I love kids, and I love interacting with them and teaching them. I want to get my degree in education during college and I want to become a teacher once i'm out of college. I have been a babysitter since I was in 8th grade, I am a Sunday School teacher for 3rd grade girls (and a sub for any other class, at any other age group). I went on a mission trip to Haiti and worked with the kids in the orphanage that we visited. I took a Child Development class during high school, and I am currently taking a Child Guidance which allows me to visit an elementary school an hour a day three days out of the week to observe and help teach a pre-k class. I love teaching children all sorts of things, and I especially love doing crafts and activities with them. I can do house keeping, carpool, and lots of fun activities and crafts, if need be.

A little bit about me

I have been a nanny for 17 years. I consider myself loving and fun, and I truly enjoy hearing laughter. I care for the children so that parents don’t have to worry. I also keep the house clean and organized for when the parents return.

I have great references and am still friends with all of my former families.
