A little bit about me
Hi! Child care is something I’ve had a lot of experience with in life but I decided to take it a step further and help other families outside of my own. I’ve been babysitting for my family for a long time. I enjoy being with children and making sure they are taken care of. This includes play time, learning, whatever is best suited for the child at that time

A little bit about me
I have 5 years of childcare experience starting from babysitting to full time nanny of 3. I am extremely trustworthy, persistent, patient, and organized which are key traits in raising a child. I believe that staying with a family long term is important because it’s crucial that children have a certain level of consistency and it helps the bond between the nanny and the family.

A little bit about me
First off I'm going to start off by saying, I have always loved children. I've been babysitting and looking over kids since I was 8 years old. I have raised my 3-year-old nephew from new born and still working with him. Being his second mom has taught me more than anything else in this world: it taught me patience, honor, forgiveness and that life is too short to be sad! I love my nephew with everything in me and I hope to spread that love with more children and people in general. I am very good a teaching and tutoring. My strengths are reading, math and writing. I am also strong at communication, I believe it's key to a better future! Like everyone else I do have a weakness and that is wanting to please everyone. I feel that if I can make everyone happy then it not only heals them but it heals me. I'm 18 years old and I can't wait to meet new people and adventure! One day I want to become a writing teacher for kids and teens, I feel that writing is a way to escape the world!

A little bit about me
Hi my name is Gracie! I am 19 years old and I am currently out for the summer for school and I just finished up my first year of college!
I don’t have much experience in paid babysitting, but growing up around kids my whole life has taught me to take care of kids ages from 0-9 years. For the past 3 summers i’ve been a Recreational Leader at Armour Square Park, and that allows me to work with kids from ages 4-10. I personally love kids myself, walks are fun, car rides are fun, I love being inside and outside (depending on the weather ofc). I am the oldest sibling of 3 so I personally believe I have a lot of experience and responsibilities.
