A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Maggie. I have a bachelor's degree in social work. I am CPR certified. I adore children! On Sundays, I volunteer at the Avec Visitation Center in Lafayette. I have been vaccinated for covid and have also received my booster considering I work with children. I've babysat for family members and a former high school teacher with three children. During football season, I babysat for her since she had to be at cheer practice and football games. I have my own vehicle. I'll be starting my master's degree online shortly, so I'll need some additional money. I'm willing to drive the kids wherever they need to go, whether it's to a doctor's appointment or to Chucky Cheese. I am an easygoing person, and I am willing to be flexible to meet the family’s needs.

Erin P. - Seeking Work in Lafayette

Lafayette, LA

A little bit about me

I am a former teacher with more than 15 years of teaching experience. I have two teaching degrees. One in early childhood education (pre-k through 3rd grade) and elementary education (1st-5th). Most of my experience comes from teaching kindergarten through second grade. I am semi fluent in Spanish and Portuguese.
As a nanny, I am not only watching that your child is safe and secure, but I am using my past love of teaching to meet your child where they are academically. In short, I will be, not only a nanny, but a tutor as well.
I am a quick learner with many skills including light house detail and cooking. I am also great with animals as I have two of my own. Some of my other skills include exceptional organizational skills, homeschooling, pet sitting, upkeep of house plants, laundry, and wonderful people skills. People describe me as very people friendly, approachable, respectful, genuine, transparent, and punctual.

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Emma. I am currently a nursing student, and don’t start clinicals for another year so my schedule is open. I have over 6 years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages—from newborns on up. I’ve worked in a variety of roles, including occasional babysitting, overnight care, and as a full-time vacation nanny, so I’m comfortable adapting to different family dynamics and needs.

I’m reliable, nurturing, and highly organized. Whether it’s preparing healthy meals, keeping things tidy, helping with homework, or just making sure the kids have fun and feel safe—I’ve got it covered. I also have my own transportation, which makes pick-ups, drop-offs, and errands a breeze.

Creating a warm, engaging environment where children can thrive is something I truly value. I’m here to make your life easier and give your little ones the care and attention they deserve!
