A little bit about me
Hi! I’m Zoe and I’ve always been the “great big sister” to my younger brother (4) and sister (5). I speak Spanish, and am an aspirational polyglot, learning several other languages in my free time, and would love to teach what I know! I’ve been a Spanish tutor before and we always had a blast! I’m a political science student and a social media manager who has really come to adore children, and would love to help a family take care of their own.

A little bit about me
My name is Marie and I've been a nanny for three years and I'm a mother to a sweet little boy whose four. Before I started to nanny, I worked for a child development program that uses soccer to help children grow and learn how to work as a team to build on their strengths. This gave me my start with working with children ages 18months-5yrs old. I babysat for a couple families that were enrolled in Lil kickers as well. I love working with kids and having my own child, it really opened up a door for a new career path. I nannied for a 1-year-old while taking care of my son, then two sets of twins that were 4 months old then a little boy who was 19 months old. My responsibilities included feedings, routine naps, changing diapers, and light house keeping. I thoroughly enjoy being a nanny, watching children hit their milestones, grow, laugh and play has been such a joy. If you have any questions, feel free to message me :).

"We can’t say enough wonderful things about Sarah. From the very first day, she brought calm, confidence, and genuine love into our home. She is so much more than a nanny; she is a natural caregiver who truly understands children and meets them where they are. Sarah is patient, creative, and deeply attuned to each child’s emotional and developmental needs. Our kids absolutely adore her. Whether she is engaging them in imaginative play, helping with schoolwork, or guiding daily routines, she does everything with warmth and structure. She turns everyday moments into meaningful opportunities for learning and connection. Sarah is also incredibly reliable, organized, and proactive, keeping our home running smoothly with kindness and grace. She quickly became part of our family, and we trust her completely. Any family fortunate enough to have Sarah will see how exceptional she is: steady, nurturing, and wholeheartedly devoted."

A little bit about me
The prompt said to keep it short and sweet, and well, that is exactly what I am! I am about 4'11 and a very enthusiastic nanny that loves to get the kids interacted in games indoors and outdoors. I have a major passion for art, so I always try to involve crafts into the day. I have a dream to use art in a therapeutic setting in order to help a child gain insight into how their mind works and how they can better control it! I enjoy playing games outside and keeping the screen time to a minimum. I am willing to work with all ages and can handle four to six kids with ease. I do not mind having a list of chores, errands, and meal prep during the week and can provide occasional weekend assistance as well. My goal is to provide as much peace for your home as I can manage. I am willing to learn and accommodate however I can aswell.
