A little bit about me

I grew up in a big family and have worked with kids for the last year at the YMCA. I absolutely love and adore kids and their personalities. I am looking to find a family instead of a daycare. I want to watch only a few kids instead of 50+, so I can sit down and give more attention and help individually to the kids I am watching.

A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Shannon collier. I’m 21 years old, I have a 2 year old son who I am the full time caretaker too. I took care of my niece and nephew for years; for many hours at a time. I was certified in CPR back in 2015 but will be doing more classes in order to ensure the safety of your child/Children. Having a child of my own, I completely get that it’s nerving having a seemingly random stranger care for your little one, however, Child safety is my #1 concern and would never let anything bad happen to them. I would need to bring my 2 year old son with, I know that’s intimidating but I’m used to taking care of many kids at once. And would be no trouble

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Madi, and I am 20 years old. I’ve been babysitting kids since I was 13 and eventually started nannying for a couple families over summertime / into the school year. I love helping around the house (doing dishes, laundry, light cleaning) because I know how hectic and fast pace our lives can get! I do have a job but I’m looking for a part time nanny position as well.
