A little bit about me

Hi, I'm Ian! I bring a steady, reliable presence to everything I do, with experience managing schedules, coordinating with multiple people at once, and staying calm and organized when things get busy — skills that translate well to keeping kids' routines running smoothly. I have done babysitting over the years and I'm now looking to move into a more consistent nanny position where I can build a real routine with a family.
I'm an active person and love getting outside and moving around with kids just as much as sitting down for a creative project. I love sharing a curious, open-minded view of the world with them too — introducing new foods, stories, and ideas from different cultures, and encouraging that same wonder through hands-on crafts and imaginative play. I'm patient, detail-oriented, and a clear communicator who follows through on what I say. I'm punctual, dependable, and easy to get along with, and I'd love to bring that same care and creativity to your family.

More About Me

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

I've babysat regularly across a wide age range — from infants and toddlers up through elementary-age kids. That's given me hands-on comfort with everything from feeding and nap routines to keeping older kids engaged with games, homework help, and creative activities. I'm used to adjusting my approach depending on the child's age and needs, and I take a calm, attentive approach whether I'm managing a toddler's routine or entertaining a group of school-age kids.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love staying active with kids - running around outside, playing sports and games, and just burning off energy together. I'm equally happy diving into hands-on, creative projects like arts and crafts, building things, and imaginative play that gets their creativity flowing. I also love introducing them to new foods, stories, and ideas from different cultures, so there's always something new to spark their curiosity, whether we're on the move or settled in creating something together.

The most important part about being a nanny...

To me, it's showing up fully present and really paying attention to each child's needs and personality, not just going through the motions of the day. Kids can tell when someone genuinely cares, and that's what builds real trust over time. I also think it's important to be a steady, dependable presence parents can count on, so they feel confident their child is in good hands.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The day a baby I'd been caring for said my name for the first time. It wasn't a big, dramatic moment, but it stuck with me as a clear sign of the bond we'd built over time.
