A little bit about me
Hi!
I am currently looking for a new family to help. I have to sadly say goodbye to my current lovely kiddo who is headed to preschool. I have done a mix of gardening, motherhood and a nanny for 20+ years.
I enjoy doing art, music, and connecting with nature. I have had personal and professional caregiving experience with children of all ages. I am also comfortable working with special needs kids and have references to show experience with this. I am confident going on adventures around town such as story times, Omsi, zoo,plays etc.
I will provide a safe, structured, kind space for them. I am CPR/First Aid certified and fully vaccinated. I have 2 daughters age 13 and 20 and hope to find a good fit so I can still help pick up from school. My happy place is when I'm with children, and I am hoping to meet my next best buddies.

"Elfina was our son’s nanny for over a year and a half. Our son has some special needs and she is amazing with him. We cannot say enough good things about her. She is reliable, caring and creative. She took our son on all sorts of adventures around town! I never once worried about my son when he was in Elfina’s care. Any parent knows that there is enough to worry about with kids and to have childcare that you trust is invaluable. My husband and I routinely still talk about how INCREDIBLY lucky we are to have had Elfina. Any family would be lucky to have her care for their children."

A little bit about me
Hi!
I love working with kids. I think it’s what I’m best at. I’m currently studying to be a middle school social studies teacher! I’ve babysat for family, neighbors, and even my own teachers kids! I often volunteer for Outdoor school during the fall and in the summer so i’ve experienced being in charge of multiple kids at a time. I have experience with kids on the spectrum as well. I have my own transportation. I hope you consider me!

A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Molly Elyse or M.E. for short. I have been working with children for eleven years. First I was a babysitter, then I opened my own care agency, and after college I went to school to become a special education teacher.
In my free time I love to hike, read, cook, and craft. My sister is a chef and owns her restaurant in Austin, Texas so it’s cool to learn new skills from her in the kitchen. I also recently took up lifting and have made it part of my routine.
I studied anthropology and computer science for my bachelors then I got a dual Masters in Teaching and Special Education. I love the combination of my education because it allows me to see things from different cultural perspectives.
I am looking forward to meeting you and your families.
All the best!

A little bit about me
I love to participate in arts & crafts and i feel like all kids should be allowed to also. It’s a way of showing emotion and having fun at the same time, while growing their imagination which is an important part of children’s development. I love to explore nature, and view parts of our world that are so beautiful. Even if it’s just playing in the grass🌳🌈 I am a very easy going person, full of love and laughter. I am a high school student, but i do want to work with children in my future, and continue nannying through my college years. I feel i am a reliable, respectful, on time, and a flexible supportive person.
