A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Maasai! I’m an experienced and dedicated nanny with over 10 years of hands on childcare experience. I began nannying in 2014 and spent many years running my own childcare business in Atlanta, GA, where I built strong, lasting relationships with families.

After relocating for a corporate leadership role, I realized my true passion has always been caring for children and supporting families. I bring structure, emotional intelligence, and reliability into every home I serve, while maintaining a warm, loving, and nurturing environment.

I pride myself on being dependable, organized, and deeply committed to helping children feel safe, confident, and encouraged to grow. I treat every child as if they were my own and believe consistency, kindness, and clear communication make all the difference.

A little bit about me

Hello all! I am an energetic 60 year old and in my free time, I can be found with my dog on the hiking trails in a local forest. I love travel and adventure and have tons of energy, not a typical 60 year old. I ADORE children and have 4 grown kids of my own. I also was a nanny for nearly 4 years to preemie triplets and their older sibling and I loved every minute of it! Those years brought me so much joy! I have an extensive pediatric nursing background but I am pulling away from stressful hospital work as I work on a holistic healing business of my own. My hourly rate is a bit more but I come with a lot of experience working with children of all ages and an extensive medical background. Thank you so much! My location is Louisville, Ky.

A little bit about me

I am 51 year old newly retired teacher, with 30 years of experience working with children. I am also a mother of two grown children and two fur babies. I have a bachelor's degree in elementary education and a master's degree in deaf education. I have taught children who range from 3 years old to 18, and was successful at my job. Before I was a teacher I worked in day cares, summer camps, and babysat. I know a good deal of sign language and am experienced working with children with special needs. I love to garden, cook, read, design, and talk walks with my husband. I was ready to retire from the classroom, but not from children. I am healthy and very responsible. Lastly, I look at life in a very positive way and treat each day as a gift.
