A little bit about me
Hi, my name is Tamar Friedmann. I've been working with kids for a very long time (majority of my life), and I love every part of it! I'm currently a full time uni student, studying to be a librarian. My interests vary, but I really love readings, as well as long nature walks. I'm open to nanny-ing for any age, although I do have particular experience with younger kids (think 0-3). I'm a bit of a world traveler, and I'm always up for new experiences! I'm a good driver (I come with a car!), and a pretty good cook too, as well as quick learner if other skills are needed. Kids are a passion of mine, and I believe the more the merrier! :)

A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Annika and I have 10 years of childcare experience in both daycare and nanny settings. I love children of all ages, and love to get involved in what they like to do. Arts, crafts, and outdoor play are some of my favorite activities. I also know ASL basics!
One of my most valued things I do is creating a developmental plan with each child’s parents to assess skills and development periodically, so we are all on the same page with the child’s milestones and learning!
Feel free to ask me whatever you’d like to know! References available. Have a great day!

A little bit about me
Hi there! My name's Maggie and I'm seeking a position as a live-in Nanny or Au Pair. Working with children has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember and I've always dreamt of making it my career. I began working with children through my local school district as a Camp Counselor for an Extended-School year program that was held at a local park in my area. I then held a few after-school babysitting positions and summer nannying positions throughout high school and college.
I attended the Indiana University of Pennsylvania for Early Education and Special Education and graduated a year early after completing an internship at a daycare. I have experience working with kiddos of all ages and have worked with group sizes as large as thirty. I worked for Americorps in downtown Pittsburgh as well, so I've been able to experience different settings and styles of working with children.
I hope to be able to get to know you and your family and hopefully help out! Thank you! :-)

A little bit about me
Hello, I am Boomer, I am from a small village in Central Pennsylvania. My upbringing was unique because I was raised with 10 other children. Growing up around many younger children inspired a strong sense of responsibility for their well-being. I learned to be patient with them, taught them to do tasks independently, and helped them understand their emotions and those of others around them. As a result of my care for others, I find the well-being, education, and ethics of future generations of utmost importance. I am empathetic and generous, but I run a tight ship. My main goal is to leave a positive, lasting impression with the kids I meet and care for.
