A little bit about me

Hi my name is Melissa. For the past eight months I've been working as a direct support specialist and a camp counselor at Ramapo for Children in Rhinebeck, NY. But I have decided that I needed a change of pace and direction. Due to my new position as a direct support specialist, I feel as though I haven't had enough time to connect with the kids I work with anymore and the demand of the job and lack of quality has become a burden to me. A plus is that I'm learning Spanish, so the kids can learn with me.

A little bit about me

I have been a nanny/babysitter for many years and love to watch and engage with the kids I watch! Even though I am currently in school going on a different path, working with kids is something that I have always been passionate about. A little more about me - I am originally from Atlanta, GA. I moved to New Orleans about a year ago to pursue law school. I am going into my second year at Tulane Law School, and I have immensely enjoyed getting to know the city of New Orleans.

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Natalie, I come from a large family from a small town with loads of child/home care experience. Not only was I the oldest but caring for my family is what inspired me to take up jobs anywhere I could if it meant I could learn and grow WITH children and help them in any way I could. I do have CPR and First Aid certifications and am available to do any house work or meal planning/prepping needed. I could eventually be open to a live-in nanny opportunity if I could build a strong connection with the family beforehand . I am only looking at part time positions at the moment because i will be attending UNO in hopes of gaining my early education degree to further this passion in caring for and teaching children.

I have flexible availability, a reliable car with a clean driving record, and a hands-on approach to childcare. Feel free to reach out to me by phone to discuss how I can assist with your needs.

Looking forward to connecting!
