A little bit about me
Hi!
My name is Zarius LeGrand.
I’m a native New Yorker, born and raised in the Upper West Side.
I am a trained First Responder, with Self Defense Training, currently on the course of becoming a Certified Life Coach.
I have 7+ Yrs of experience in the Arts. My Theater and Arts background have aided extremely in creating fun and engaging environments for the children I’ve cared for. It’s allowed me to easily and quickly turn a time that can be difficult for most kids into one that they’re actually excited for!
Some personal passions of mine include Health & Wellness, Neuroscience, Music and Screenwriting.
I’m looking forward to hearing from you!

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Emma. I am 26 years old. I graduated from Mount Saint Joseph Academy in Flourtown, PA in 2014. I have been in and out of college since, but never really got the hang of it. I volunteered at Mater Dei Catholic school during my senior year of college. After graduation, I did some volunteer work at Thorncroft Equestrian Center for their therapeutic riding program. I have watched my family members children, as well as friends. I have been babysitting/nannying for the same 3 families for the past 2 (almost 3) years. I can cook, meal prep, clean, do laundry, and just about anything else you might need. I have quite a bit of experience caring for pets as well. I consider myself fearless when it comes to animals. From mice and lizards, to fish and cows. I’ve been around it all and everything in between. I am patient, understanding, kind, and respectful. I have a valid drivers license as well as a vehicle, and am CPR certified. I hope to become a part of someone else’s family!

A little bit about me
My name is Megan Lang and I am a current undergraduate student at Temple University, but I am spending my summer in Seattle with my family. I spent most of my life overseas and have experience working with children in a variety of different countries, cultures, languages and more. I have always adored being able to participate in the raising and teaching of children as I find it so rewarding and full of fun, laughter and growth for everybody (myself included). I have worked as a live-in nanny, a youth camp counselor, in a kindergarten classroom, and as a babysitter on and off for the past five years and have learned so much about and from the kids I have worked with. I love to get outside and be active as much as possible. I also have some tutoring and teaching experience as well. I can send you a copy of my resume if you would like and I am happy to provide any additional references or info!
