With over 30 years of hands-on experience nurturing children of all ages, I bring a lifelong passion and natural gift for childcare. Affectionately known as “The Baby Whisperer,” I have an intuitive ability to connect with infants and young children—creating joyful, engaging, and enriching environments wherever I go. Children are naturally drawn to me, and I truly speak their language—whether I’m soothing a newborn, connecting with a toddler, or helping a preschooler learn through play. I am currently work with children with special needs ranging in age from 3 to 26, as well as supporting 4th and 5th graders in school settings. These roles have strengthened my ability to provide individualized, compassionate care while fostering confidence and independence in each child. I’ve had the privilege of nannying for two wonderful families and raising my own children while being a stay-at-home mom for over 36 years. Caring for children doesn’t feel like work—it’s what brings me joy and purpose. I love to sing with children, do arts and crafts, and play both indoor and outdoor games. I weave learning into everyday activities—teaching letters, shapes, colors, and phonics in playful, creative ways. Time outside is one of my favorite things, whether we’re exploring nature, playing in the dirt (when allowed!), or enjoying movement and fresh air. I also have experience teaching swimming and helping children feel confident and safe in the water. I’ve completed 12 units in Early Childhood Development and am currently pursuing a degree in Child Development, giving me a strong foundation in how children grow, learn, and thrive. I’m also pursuing studies in Physical Education to support motor development and encourage active, healthy lifestyles. Highlights: 30+ years caring for children of all ages, including infants, toddlers, school-age kids, and teens Experience with children with special needs (ages 3–26) and elementary school students College coursework in Child Development CPR/First Aid certified Passionate about music, creative arts, outdoor play, and learning through fun Open to roles as a nanny, caregiver, or “bonus grandma” My Philosophy: Children thrive when they feel safe, loved, and encouraged. My goal is to create joyful, structured spaces where they feel free to explore, grow, and become the amazing individuals they’re meant to be.

Kelly has been a wonderful nanny during the short time she has been with us—and we’re truly grateful for the positive impact she made. She consistently brought positive energy into our home and showed good knowledge in planning activities and supporting the kids’ development. We especially appreciated how she kept us informed about how the children were feeling and always shared thoughtful insights. She has been punctual, dependable, and genuinely caring. Even in a short period, our baby girl really enjoyed their time with her. We wish her the very best and highly recommend her!

I am a mom with two beautiful children. I have a 28 year old daughter and a 21 year old son. I have been taking care of children since I was in high school. Helping out neighbors with cleaning, cooking, going on walks with their children what ever needed to get done I did it. I love pets as well. Having good communication with the parents is very important. Having a positive attitude is very important. Hope to hear from you soon. Have a blessed day.

We met Lena first through SitterCity and later found out that she was an afternoon nanny for my kids classmate. Then when I needed a driver, she responded and little did she know it was me again. Small world! Lena is a great sitter and nanny and driver. She was always prompt and gave me feedback on the kids morning. Both my kids like her a lot, because she plays with them. Lena is a true lifesaver! I would give the highest recommendation for her.

Hi! My name is Christina, and I have over 10 years of babysitting experience along with nearly 6 years of professional experience as a preschool teacher. Since June 2020, I've worked with children in early childhood education, helping support their learning, development, and daily routines. I am currently in the process of obtaining my driver's license and pride myself on being reliable, punctual, and committed to providing dependable care. I'm looking to transition back into nannying because I truly enjoy building strong, meaningful connections with children and families. While I've valued my experience in the preschool setting, I find that one-on-one care allows me to better support each child's unique needs, interests, and growth. My goal is to create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel supported, encouraged, and excited to learn. I look forward to finding a family that feels like a great fit!
