A little bit about me

I’m a recent transplant to New Orleans, Louisiana and always looking for available opportunities to work with new and creative people and will always talk to anybody who will listen. I love to write poetry, music and I can often be found out in nature hiking. I work as a music therapist for clients with Intellectual Disabilities and autism and teaching children voice and music. I have a BA in music and one day hope to get my masters! One of my future goals is to open a performing arts center for children!

Fun Facts: I have 2 fur babies, both named after members of the Jackson family (Jermaine and Janet).

I can quote almost all the Marvel movies word for word.

A little bit about me

Hi I am Frances! I am from Fairhope, AL and graduated from the University of Alabama in May 2025 where i was a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority. I moved to New Orleans in September and have been looking to start a nannying gig! I have been babysitting since I was 14, a role that has always brought me a sense of fulfillment. I build meaningful relationships with both children and parents, and I take pride in being someone families can trust and rely on. Growing up, I regularly babysat and nannied for the same families, which allowed me to form long-term bonds and gain consistent, hands-on experience. I also worked four days a week for a year at First United Methodist Church in Tuscaloosa, primarily caring for 1–2-year-olds, while also substituting for infants through age five. Additionally, I lived for two months with a family friend who had a one-year-old and a two-year-old, giving me valuable experience with daily routines, developmental milestones, and hands-on toddler care.

A little bit about me

Hi my names Alyson! Ive been working in and out of childcare for about 8 years although I have been the family babysitter for a lot longer. I have a younger sister who had difficulties at birth that required her to have a feeding tube in her nose as well as a g tube in her belly for the first few years. Due to that I gained a lot of hands on experience with special needs as well as special diets. I love working with kids and hope to maybe be an elementary school teacher one day! I hope to get to know you more if you have any questions feel free to ask!
