A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Paige, and I am 22 years old. I have worked as a nanny for kids of different ages for the past 4 years, but I have been babysitting since I was 15. I will graduate in May 2025 with a bachelor's degree in Child Psychology with a minor in Sport Management. I played 3 years of college volleyball in Indiana before deciding to step away. I love reading and puzzles and anything to do with sports, except running. I went to Christian school from preschool all the way through college. I have been working as an RBT at an autism center for the past few months, but feel the calling to go back to nannying. My profile picture is from my brother and sister-in-law's wedding this past November!

More About Me

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

I worked for YMCA doing before and after school care for elementary school students, as well as summer camp for ages 3 and up the past 2 summers. I have also nannied for kids ages 1-12.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Arts and crafts, going to the park, going on walks, building forts, baking, building with blocks or Legos, reading books, and more!

The most important part about being a nanny...

To me, the most important part of being a nanny is building a strong, trusting bond with the kids and their family. I want the children I care for to feel safe, supported, and free to be themselves. I try to create a fun, positive environment where they can learn and grow.

My experience with special needs children...

I have worked as an RBT with children with autism for the past 4 months.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite moment was when I was helping the 4-year-old I was nannying learn how to write his name, and he finally figured out how to write the letter K and he would tell anyone who listened that I was the one who taught him.
