A little bit about me

My name is Madi, I’m 20 years old and currently in my second year of college. I’ve only ever worked in childcare and have about 4 years of experience. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and truly love working with kids!

I’m open to nannying at your house or mine—whatever works best for your family. My mom used to run a home daycare, so I grew up around childcare. My house also has a pool, which can be great summer fun for older kids (with safety always coming first, of course!). 😊

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Jenna. I’m 31 and have 2 kids of my own whom I love dearly! I’ve primarily been teaching pre-k for the last 14 years as it’s my passion & am now looking for something just a little more lowkey. I am a certified ECC Teacher as well as in CPR/FA for all ages. I feel strongly about the importance of treating children with the compassion & grace we desire to be treated with ourselves & firmly believe in the idea that we need to be the change we want to see in the world! In addition, I have remained the “emotional support” teacher over the years… I’m wonderful with calming big emotions!
