A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Casidi, I’m 27yo and have been working with a wide age range of kids via babysitting & nannying since I was around 13.
A bit about me; I’m a nurturing, grounded nanny with a deep passion for holistic living, nature-based play, and supporting children in becoming their most authentic selves. I believe in creating a calm, connected environment where children are free to explore the world with curiosity, confidence, and creativity. My caregiving style embraces outdoor time, imaginative play, and gentle guidance—allowing kids to stay wild at heart while feeling safe, seen, and supported. I honor each child’s unique personality, learning style, and rhythm, and aim to foster emotional resilience, independence, and connection to nature. I am also a certified sacred birthing doula, and very passionate about supporting mama’s natural instincts to feel supported & empowered with their babies.
(Profile says part time but my schedule is flexible & I’m open to full time work as well)

A little bit about me

I’m a certified nurses aide looking to make some extra cash on the side. I’ve never had any paid experience when it comes to child care but I do have a two year old and plenty of other children in my family who i’ve cared for and spent lots of time with. I definitely have a lot of energy and take pride in doing all the fun activities with the kiddos. Just to put out there in case of any emergencies like I said I am a certified nurses aide and I’ll know exactly what to do when it comes to first aid. Would love to help other parents out!
