The most important part about being a nanny...
For me, the most important part of being a nanny is helping children feel safe, happy, and cared for. I love getting to know each child, supporting them as they explore, learn, and grow, and being a positive presence in their day-to-day life.
I also enjoy making everyday moments fun and engaging, whether it’s playing games, doing crafts, reading together, or just spending time outside. Seeing children feel confident, loved, and supported is what makes this work so rewarding for me.

Hi! I am a 20 year old first time mommy. My baby girl, Evangeline was born January 16, 2026. I am pet friendly. I am a Christian but I am loved by many religious and non religious.
