A little bit about me
I have several years of hands-on childcare experience, starting with babysitting at age 11 and continuing through four summers working at a camp as both a counselor and camp store manager. These roles helped me develop strong skills in supervision, organization, and creating a safe, engaging environment for children of different ages.
I am CPR and First Aid certified, a certified lifeguard, and hold a food handler’s certification, so safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I also have training in Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) and trauma-informed care, which allows me to support children with empathy, patience, and an understanding of their emotional needs.
Currently, I am a student studying Human Development and Family Sciences, which gives me a strong foundation in child development, behavior, and family dynamics. I strive to create a nurturing, structured, and positive environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to grow.

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Haley, and I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable nanny with over two years of experience working with children of all ages. During high school, I had the opportunity to care for a variety of families, which helped me develop patience, creativity, and strong communication skills.
I truly love working with kids and creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where they can grow and feel supported. I enjoy engaging children in activities like crafts, outdoor play, and age-appropriate learning, while also maintaining structure and routines.
In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with cooking and light housekeeping to make your home run more smoothly. I also love animals and am very comfortable around pets—I have a dog of my own!
I’m currently in school pursuing nursing, which reflects my passion for caring for others and my strong sense of responsibility. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide reliable, loving care for your children

Hi my name is Monica. I'm 35 years old and live in Bastrop, a wife and mother to a 13 year old. We also have a pug named Molly.
