I applied to this site because I’d enjoy working for a family who really needs a caregiver . I really enjoy what I do, and want to keep adding more completed jobs to my resume while working towards obtaining a bachelors degree in nursing. I also have all my clearances up to date from working with a daycare. I'm currently a part time student, and a part time sitter but the family is moving by next week. I'm on a mission for a schedule that works best for me and for the parents as well! . Thank you for taking the time to read my bio, I hope you’ll view me as an excellent candidate, have a great day!

"It is my great pleasure to recommend Brianna Jones as a nanny.
She has been caring for our 5 year old since he was a newborn.
Bree is bright, reliable and affectionate.
She is also well-versed in child development,
both due to her experience working in childcare and her studies
while she is obtaining her CDA. she just has a natural affinity towards children.
She relates well to our son in such a delightful way,
turning practically everything into a life lesson and a fun game.
Bree also knows how to structure time well, but it also flexible.
she is very good when it comes to arts and crafts and homework help.
My house has also never looked better when shes around,and she is an excellent cook!
We feel fortunate to have had Brianna in our home.

"She is very sweet, caring, attentive and understanding. She took care of my kids like they were her own. She played with them. She talked to them. She listened to them. She cooked for them and she can cook. She was like a second mother to my children I had to move and if I could take her with me, I would’ve. She helped me become more understanding as a mother. If you do hire her just know that you are going to get the best out of her. She gives her all. My kids and I are going to miss her. Thank you, Takiyah."

A little bit about me
I have been the designated babysitter to family and friends for as long as I can remember. My first professional job working with children was being a swim and a kids boxing/mma instructor, through that job I found my first nannying position in 2019 and I haven’t looked back since! I have experience with all age ranges and love to find developmentally appropriate activities to do in and outside of the house. I am CPR and first aide certified through the Philadelphia Nanny Network, which i’ve been with for 4 years now! I currently work with a 1, 2.5, and 4 year old and i’ve been with them for about a year, our contract ends March 23rd so I am available then. Best of luck on your pursuit of finding a wonderful nanny and I’d be delighted to be considered!

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Tierra and I have always wanted to work with children. I have been a nanny to a few children and I don't think I love anything more than that. I love taking care of kids in their earlier years because I believe those are the most important years for nurturing and learning. I exhibit the characteristics of being patient, attentive, trustworthy, and many more that fits into an ideal nanny. In addition to being an ideal nanny, I would also be able to do other activities such as light housekeeping, etc. I have a bachelors degree in psychology with a career goal of being a behavior analyst. My current occupation is a behavioral health technician and I work with children who are on the autism spectrum. During my free time, I enjoy spending time journaling, spending time with family and friends, learning new skills, and watching some of my favorite tv shows. With that being said, I would love to create relationships with families and be of help as much as I can be. Thank you!
