Hi there! I am a graduate student looking for side income. I have experience in child care and as a tutor for children. I speak French nearly fluently and can incorporate that into my care, if that is something you would like to your child to learn. I currently have a very flexible schedule during the week and am happy to help clean and prep meals, as well.

A little bit about me
Many years of childcare experience in my 28 years of life! (Some light Early Childhood Education.) I have also been a receptionist, chiropractic assistant and my personal favorite, a barista!
During free moments, I enjoy nature walks, yoga, cooking, reading, time spent with family and generally anything warm and cozy! I am currently learning to speak Spanish and would be happy to incorporate it into the day-to-day.
As a nanny, I believe in letting kids indulge in their curiosities & explore their independent side, while also nurturing & comforting them during the inevitable moments of big emotions. What are children, but smaller versions of us!
"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; … to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child or a garden patch … to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is success.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson

I am 22 years old and have constant energy! I am currently in the service industry however would love to settle into child care more so. I nannied for a family over the summer after high school and while living in Nevada was a babysitter for a family within my fathers company. I adored the experience of learning from children and looking after them. I love to paint, draw, sew, cook, bake, clean, and spend time outdoors. I am greatly reliable, always on time, and have great communication skills. I would love the opportunity to become apart of your family in whatever ways needed.

A little bit about me
Hi my name is Simone Willingham I go by Sy for a short. I am 21 years old. I started working with kids in 2017 when I was in high school in my child development and child in theory classes. I have always loved working with kids and being a part of their emotional, physical, and social development. I work well with kids, always compassionate and patient, and very open to getting to know new kids and helping them become the best versions of themselves. I have worked in two licensed facilities in the last two years, the most recent being the Children’s Garden as an assistant teacher for toddlers, it was a great experience and opportunity to learn and grow for myself and I’d love to learn and grow with you as well!
