A little bit about me

I am a confident, caring, empathetic, and engaged nanny. I am also qualified to assist with home care.
I am first aid and CPR certified.
I enjoy getting to know children as individuals. I have learned to listen and validate feelings, decide what is needed, and provide the best care. I love reading, playing games, walking outside, conversing with babies, and laughing.
I am up to date on the Developmental Milestones for 0 to age 5 updated through the AAP.
I have trained as a birth doula, though not yet certified.
I have been caring for a now three year old since March of 2023. He is moving on to preschool and I would like to start another long term care relationship.
I prefer starting with an infant, and staying until 2-3 years of age, if possible.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Children thrive when they have a trusted caregiver who can read their cues and respond to their needs. Each infant has a unique temperament, so getting to know them as individuals is essential. Environments and activities that nurture curiosity and experimentation are vital, as is the early development of language. Babies benefit from many opportunities to engage in meaningful, experience-based communication—and it's important that their efforts are acknowledged and encouraged. Infants and toddlers learn much about their sense of self—and how to function in the world—by imitating and internalizing the behaviors of those who care for them. That’s why consistently modeling positive behavior and interaction is essential. I believe teamwork, understanding, and communication between caregivers and parents is an integral part of the job, and produces the best outcomes in supporting the child's optimal growth and well-being.

The most important part about being a nanny...

It's definitely the moment when you know that all of the early speech, and communication building blocks have been successful.
It's amazing when toddlers begin speaking with you!

Babysitter Available in Austin, TX: Haley B.

Hi! My name is Haley, and I’m a pre-nursing student at the University of Oklahoma. I’m back home for the summer and looking for a nannying position with a family I can really connect with. I hope to become a NICU nurse one day, so I have a special love for caring for babies, but I truly enjoy working with children of all ages. I would describe myself as caring, dependable, and patient, and I love creating a safe, fun, and comfortable environment for kids. Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, being involved at church, and staying active. I also love building relationships with the families I work with and being someone parents can trust. I’m excited to support a family in any way I can this summer.
