I switched careers from Administration to Childcare starting at the end of 2013. I have experience working with live-in and live-out families (infant-teen). I finally realize I'm doing what I love and will open a home daycare in the future.

Hi, I’m Phoebe! If there’s one thing everyone knows about me, it’s my deep love for children and my dedication to helping them grow into confident, independent, and joyful individuals. I believe that truly exceptional child care starts with creating a space where every child feels safe, seen, and free to be themselves. From there, I focus on guiding them toward independence, encouraging their unique personalities, and supporting their growth with warmth, patience, and purpose.I bring years of hands-on experience both as a trusted nanny for families and as an early childhood educator at Bright Horizons. In these roles, I have supported everything from daily home routines and household maintenance to curriculum planning, potty training, and early speech development. Through my position at Bright Horizons, I completed rigorous training in child safety, brain development, curriculum design, and early education. This has given me a strong foundation not only in caregiving but also in nurturing each child's growth with intention and care. Whether I am working one-on-one in a home or supporting a group in a classroom, my focus is always the same: creating a safe, nurturing space where children feel confident to be themselves while developing independence and essential life skills.

Bonjour! I’m a proud St. Lucian with a big heart and a passion for babysitting that blossomed when I was just 11 years old. Growing up, I helped raise my three younger siblings, who were born more than a decade after me. Those early experiences taught me patience, empathy, and how to guide little ones through every stage. From first steps to singing/sporty personalities. Watching them grow into their own identities lit a fire in me to support other children in the same way. Over the years, I’ve continued to babysit younger cousins and family friends, giving me hands-on experience with kids of various ages whenever I have time with my technical wiritng positon. I naturally gravitate toward creating a nurturing, positive environment where children feel safe, heard, and empowered. I'm especially proud of teaching manners in fun, memorable ways, and I bring calm energy and warm encouragement to every interaction. Whether we’re playing games, learning something new, or just having silly moments, I’m there with love, laughter, and genuine care.

I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids because they bring so much joy, energy, and creativity into each day. I love knowing I can provide a safe, fun, and supportive environment while giving parents peace of mind. I’ve cared for children of all ages from infants to school-aged kids through babysitting for family, friends, and neighbors. My experience includes preparing meals, toileting, planning engaging activities, and maintaining routines like bedtime. I’m patient, dependable, and great at keeping kids engaged with age-appropriate activities. I’m also trained in CPR and basic first aid, so I’m always prepared to handle emergencies if they arise. Most importantly, I bring warmth, responsibility, and a genuine love for working with children.

I am a mother of two teenage boys, so have been parenting for about 15 years. Prior to becoming a mother, I was a nanny for many years while in college and graduate school and a babysitter while in middle and high school. I have CPR and 1St Aid Certifications and am highly experienced with dealing with any issues that may arise while caring for infants, young children, tweens and teens. I love supporting kids to play and learn from experiences (games, crafts, sports) but am also ready to support homework and school assignments. I am comfortable with all kinds of pets and happy to feed them or take them for walks. I take family rules seriously and will work with the children to make sure that tasks and chores are completed when required.

Hello! My name is Emily, and I am a caring, responsible, and dedicated childcare provider with strong experience working with children. I currently work as a teacher in a daycare, where I care for children daily and focus on meeting their physical, emotional, and developmental needs in a safe and nurturing environment. In the past, I also worked as a teacher in a public school, which has given me extensive experience managing groups of children, understanding different personalities, and supporting positive behavior and learning. Through these roles, I have developed patience, strong communication skills, and the ability to adapt to each child’s individual needs. Additionally, I am currently pursuing my university studies in early childhood education and childcare, which allows me to continuously improve my knowledge and apply best practices in child development.
