A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Alexis. I am 24 years old. I am currently a SAHM to my 7 month old daughter. I have always loved working with kids and I have some experience working with special needs and medically complex children. I do have recent First aid and CPR training but have not yet completed a certification. I was previously a veterinary assistant so I am also more than willing to do basic pet care while i am in the home. I am hoping to find consistent work and potentially be able to bring my daughter with me at times as she cannot go to traditional daycare due to developmental delays.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Brianna, and I’m a caring, dependable, and energetic nanny with experience working with toddlers and young children. I truly enjoy being part of a child’s early development—whether it’s helping them learn through play, encouraging their creativity, or guiding them through routines with patience and positivity.

I’ve worked as a camp counselor, Resident Advisor, and lifeguard, all of which have helped me build strong leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills. I’m confident in my ability to keep children safe, engaged, and supported throughout the day. While I don’t have experience with infants, I’m very comfortable and confident working with toddlers and older children.

I always strive to build trust with both kids and parents, and I take pride in creating a warm, safe environment where children can grow and feel valued. I’d love the chance to bring my experience and enthusiasm to your family!
