A little bit about me

I am 22 years old and have been working with kids since I was a young teenager as a babysitter and ballet teacher. Currently, I am a part time student studying Environmental Science. I have been both a part-time and full-time nanny for three families in the last few years, caring for infants and children up to 10 years old. My favorite part of childcare is getting creative with play! From building forts to making art, having dance parties, or visiting museums, libraries, and parks. I find the kiddos have the most fun in an environment that supports free movement and expression through pretend play (and as much time outside as possible!!!). With each child, I prioritize learning their interests and needs in order to eventually create a sense of security for our time together. I am definitely open to additional tasks like light house keeping, meal prep, and animal care as needed. Thank you!

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Jillian. I’m currently 23 years old and am looking into becoming a nanny! I have experience as a registered behavioral technician, so experience with kids with autism. I have worked with kiddos from ages 2-13 and have provided nurturing care, meeting each individual where they are. I’m very excited to meet a new set of kiddos and support those who need it!

A little bit about me

Hey there, it's good to meet you. My name is Amy and I am a mid-twenties adult looking to add a little bit of stability into the lives of families dealing with the logistical and social challenges of the pandemic.

As we all try to take precautions as best we can, there can also be a lot of big feelings and loneliness: especially for small people who are still learning self-regulation and self-soothing.

My goal is to relieve pressure on parental caregivers and add a little bit of fun, kindness, and normalcy to your child's day.

I love to encourage children to express themselves through art and games in addition to providing some routine to make life feel a little bit more stable and secure.

If you have any questions while you are trying to find a good fit for your family then please feel free to reach out. We're all in this together!
