I truly enjoy supporting children’s growth through play, conversation, and everyday learning moments. I’m reliable, warm, and committed to building trusting relationships with both children and their families.

A little bit about me

Hello Parents,
My name is Nicole, I have been a childcare provider for about 18 years now.
I started off nannying a few years before I had my daughter (she is 16 now) and opened my own home daycare about 10 years ago. I am 36 for reference, and decided to go back to being a nanny now that my daughter is older.
I have worked with so many lovely families and can provide countless references. I can't wait to meet the next wonderful family!

A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Candice! I’m looking for a temporary position for this summer. I’ll be attending college in the fall and after college I plan to pursue a career in the medical field with a focus on child care. I am 18 and I love children! I have younger siblings and a handful of nieces/nephews, so I have been caring for children for a while. I grew up in a pretty diverse community and even though I am not fluent in Spanish, I can understand it. I love animals, as I do have one of my own. I do take COVID precautions, as I am fully vaccinated. I would love to be apart of your family and I’m very interested in getting to know you!
