A little bit about me
Hello, My name is Rikki! I am 21 years old and a licensed life insurance agent. I am in the process of earning my pharmacy tech certificate. I nanny middle schoolers on the side and have 6 years experience with ages 0-16. I want to soak up all the time I can get with children until I become a pharmacy tech in a year and a half. I completely and utterly enjoy children’s company. I am very energetic, fun loving, outgoing and am a very active young adult. I pride myself on being able to play and act goofy with them, yet still appreciate them listening and respecting me. I love taking children to interactive and fun places such as the park, zoo, etc. but can also spend the day at home coloring and dancing. It’s very easy for me to connect with kids. Keeping the child’s well being in check is one of my core values. You can reach me at [phone number hidden]! Thank you so much and I hope to hear back from you.

A little bit about me
Hi everyone! 💕 I’m looking to nanny a couple days a week and would love to find a family who needs some extra help!
I’m a mom myself and have 3+ years of experience nannying and working with children in preschool settings. I also have experience working with children with special needs and have an ASL background, so I’m comfortable using ASL with children who are Deaf or hard of hearing or incorporating it into everyday activities.
I’m CPR certified and comfortable driving, so I’m happy to take kiddos to activities, appointments, the park, etc. I can also help with cooking dinner, light cleaning, laundry, and keeping the kids entertained and cared for throughout the day.
I’m looking for a couple days a week but am open to discussing full time and am willing to drive to you. If you or someone you know is looking for a reliable, caring nanny, feel free to message me! 😊

A little bit about me
My name is Lizzy, and I am a recent college graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in Music and Psychology. I have worked in childcare and respite care for many years, caring for children ranging from ages 1 month to thirteen years. I thoroughly enjoy the experience of watching children grow each day, and it is a privilege to assist them as they learn to navigate new situations. I am an aspiring music therapist, so I am passionate about utilizing the power of music to benefit one's mental and emotional health. This is especially important during childhood development, wherein children are learning how to regulate their emotions as they take in the world around them. I am passionate about ensuring the safety and dignity of all human beings, especially the youngest ones among us. After all, we were all children once, and we all deserve to be treated with the utmost love and compassion!

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Emma, I’m 27 years old, and I’m a mom to two kids who have given me over 6 years of real-life childcare experience. Being a parent has taught me patience, gentleness, multitasking, and how important it is for children to feel safe, understood, and cared for.
I’m naturally nurturing and attentive, and I truly enjoy spending time with kids.. whether that’s helping with routines, playing, doing creative activities, or simply being a calm and supportive presence in their day. I understand how important trust is when it comes to childcare, and I treat every child with the same care and kindness I would want for my own.
I’m dependable and easy to communicate with, and I love creating an environment where children feel comfortable, happy, and emotionally supported.

A little bit about me
I have 10 months of hands-on experience working in a childcare center, where I cared for children ranging from just 8 weeks old to 5 years old. During that time, I’ve learned how to support each child’s unique needs and personality, and I truly enjoy being part of their growth and daily routines.
I love spending time playing, interacting, and building connections with children—whether that’s through games, reading, or simply making them feel safe and cared for. I’m very comfortable with diaper changes, feeding, and keeping a clean, organized environment, and I always make sure each child is happy and comfortable.
I’m patient, dependable, and able to stay calm through challenges, but what matters most to me is creating a warm, nurturing space where children feel secure, supported, and excited to learn and play
