A little bit about me

I've been a nanny consistently for about 6 years now, but babysat regularly beforehand for about 7 years. I have experience with a wide age range from infant - teenager. I've worked with disabled/special needs children as well. All of my previous families have become family to me so I see nannying as much more than just a job. I love it because I love working with and being around children, helping them grow and learn in their day to day lives. I'm a very creative/artistic person as well so I love setting up arts and crafts, painting, and coloring. I'm very attentive and detail oriented and learn quickly. I make sure all of the child's needs are met as well as the needs of the home. I'm willing to cook, clean, and meal prep, along with homework help if needed. I am CPR certified for all ages including infants!

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Regan and I have loved working with children for more than a decade. I started independently in 2016 after I graduated high school and eventually became a live-in nanny for the family I was working with after homeschooling their three children for a period of eight years. I have more than a decade of experience in early childhood education as well as working with special needs children. I have worked with children with autism for most of my career. The most important thing for me is ensuring all children are supported with love, care, and compassion. Education and empathy are qualities I strive to instill in all my practices.
