A little bit about me
Hey there! I am an energetic nanny who loves nature, doing crafts, and playing games. I love kiddos of all ages and am looking for a family that I can grow with! I am currently a massage therapist who is cutting my hours due to a shoulder injury so I am looking for part time work but am open to meeting families who need full time work as well. I am also certified in mindfulness and meditation, if this is something the family feels like their child would benefit from I am more than happy to incorporate little fun meditations during our day together. I have many years of experience watching different age groups of children and have helped raise my niece since day 1. I am comfortable with housekeeping, homework help, and pets! Can't wait to meet your family!

A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Devon, and I’m a 20-year-old with a love for creativity and working with kids. I’m fluent in both English and Mandarin.Art is a big part of my life—I graduated from Vancouver School of Arts and Academics as a sculptor, and I’ve won awards for my work. I love bringing that creativity into my babysitting, whether it’s doing arts and crafts, pottery, or just encouraging kids to explore their artistic side. I also have four years of experience as a varsity basketball. Whether it’s organizing a fun game, leading an outdoor activity, or just being a good role model, I believe in encouraging kids to stay active and have fun.
Over the years, I’ve worked with children of all ages in different settings, including as a camp counselor at a Mandarin Immersion Summer Camp. I’ve also had the opportunity to work with neuro-divergent children.
I’m outgoing and bubbly. I’m always up for a game, an outdoor adventure, or an arts and crafts project to keep them engaged and happy.

A little bit about me
My name is Nicole and I am a recent grad of UNC Asheville! In August, I will be employed as a teacher, but until then I am looking for part-time work! I have a degree in math and a high school teaching licensure, so, in addition to nannying, I can also tutor! I have lots of experience with children, starting from helping my mom with her at home daycare from a young age. I have also worked at a local preschool in Charlotte and Bright Horizons, first a summer camp counselor, and then as an assistant teacher. In college, I worked at Asheville Middle School and Asheville High School as a tutor for the AVID students!

A little bit about me
As a mother of four grown children and a former second-grade teacher, I bring deep experience and a true passion for caring for children. My background in education gives me a strong understanding of child development and how to create a warm, structured, and nurturing environment. I hold a music degree and naturally weave music into daily life, singing to soothe babies, brighten toddlers’ days, and spark early language skills. I also love reading to children and believe in the power of books and music from infancy on. I value cleanliness, calm routines, and a natural lifestyle. I am organized, proactive, and fully committed to supporting families with care and dependability. I stay active and healthy, which helps me keep up with little ones. Being a nanny is more than a job. It is a lifelong calling rooted in love, experience, and the joy of helping children grow.

A little bit about me
Hi, I'm an artist and mom to a teenager. I used to nanny before having my own child and participated in cooperative playgroups when my child was young. Now he has a busy life and I'm available to look after your child. As a parent I followed Janet Lansbury's "No Bad Kids" approach and I love to sing songs, read books, do age-appropriate art projects and be outside playing in all weather.

A little bit about me
I am a mother of 4 and grandmother of 4. I am 46 years old and absolutely LOVE providing compassionate and empathetic care to children and their families. I know how difficult it can be to balance being a present parent, with work, school and life responsibilities. I am a great cook, love animals and have years of experience. My children are grown and have flown the nest but when they were young, my house was the one filled with kids of all kinds. I've even cared for children whose parents no longer could, and loved and supported them through graduation.
I specialize in assisting kids in working through their big emotions and hold safe and supportive space for kids and families alike.
