A little bit about me

Hi! I have been working with kids for 7 years and absolutely love it. I started out as a mother’s helper, then started babysitting, and now I babysit, nanny, and have worked for the YMCA in childcare for the past 2 years. I graduated as a homeschool student in spring and am starting my freshman year at UNCW in fall for Honors Nursing (labor and delivery or nursery nurse are some of my interests). In my free time, I enjoy playing piano and singing, crocheting, and working out. On my profile I say that I am not CPR certified, but I am trained and would be willing to become certified if desired. References are available upon request. Looking forward to this opportunity!

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I have worked at the YMCA in childcare for the past 2 years, where I care for children ages 6 weeks to 11 years old. Not only do I love working with the kids there, I have also grown in my ability to care for them and handling unique situations. I also received employee of the year for 2025.

I have 7 years babysitting experience of a range of ages and number of children. I was also a nanny of an infant for a summer, with driving responsabilities.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love going outside with kids—especially playing on a playground and going for walks. I love reading books to them, coloring, playing make believe with toys, and much more. I also enjoy incorporating educational aspects in our play time.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important thing about being a nanny is creating a fun, loving environment for the kids to grow up and learn in. I want to be a nanny who sets a good example for the kids, and who is helping them to grow in their character and knowledge—while embracing their age and creating fun memories they will never forget.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Caring for children is one of the most rewarding jobs. I have a lot of favorite babysitting moments, but some of my tops are when they remember you and are excited to see you—especially when they are younger and remember your name. I also love seeing them grow, such as first words and steps or when they remember something you taught them.
