Brianna O. - Seeking Work in Amherst

Part-Time Nanny Available in Amherst, NY: Brianna O.

Hi, I'm Brianna, nice to meet you! I enjoy spending time in community, going for walks and hikes, and exploring Buffalo - I love a good cafe, farmer's market, and thrift find! From after school programs to tutoring, I have several years of experience working with children ages 3-17. Within that time, I taught for about six years and am looking to transition to a more personal childcare experience. It's a blessing to be able to watch children learn and grow; I believe being a nanny will allow me to create a strong, personal relationship with a child and curate to more of their individual needs. I look forward to the possibility of caring for your child!
Naima A. - Seeking Work in Amherst

Live-In Part-Time Child Care Provider Available in Amherst, NY: Naima A.

Hi! I’m a caring, dependable, and patient babysitter and nanny who loves working with children. I have hands-on caregiving experience from taking care of my grandmother, where I helped with cooking, cleaning, bathing, keeping her company, and providing entertainment. This experience taught me how to be patient, attentive, responsible, and compassionate when caring for someone else.

I enjoy keeping children engaged through age-appropriate activities, games, reading, crafts, and play while making sure they are safe and comfortable. I’m also happy to help with meals, light tidying, routines, and other childcare needs. I understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust, and I always strive to provide a safe, caring, and positive environment for every child in my care.
