Updated: Hi! My name is Heidi, and I'm looking for a part time nanny job! :) About me...I'm a flexible, dependable and trustworthy caregiver who loves to get into anything your kids love! What experiences have I had? Well, I have an Elementary Ed degree as well as, I was a "stay at home mom" that had the neighborhood kids 24/7, and loved it! Now that my two children are grown, I need to do something I love again. It's childcare! So, if you're looking for someone to engage your children, play it cool and relax, or anything in between... Look no further... I'm a flexible caregiver with great experience working with children! :) One thing that makes me unique is: With my degree, I have spent some time working in our school district, then started my nanny work in 2012. So, feel free to contact me, and I will reply! :) To whom it may concern, I am writing to recommend Heidi B. for a nanny position. Heidi has been with our family for years. She has cared for our son from the time he was 3 months old until after he turned 3 years old. She has been a wonderful, trustworthy and reliable caregiver. Heidi was always punctual and willing to work with our frequently shifting hours, whether it was asking her to arrive early or stay late. In addition to caregiving, she completed whatever tasks that were requested, particularly light housework and laundry. Most importantly, Heidi cared a great deal for our son and he loved her. He was always eager to see her, talk to her, and play with her, from his earliest moments of being able to express these emotions. We have four older children as well and Heidi was always willing to help care for them if they had to stay home from school with a cold or illness. She has also helped out with pick-ups from school and taking care of our other kids during after-school hours. I would hire Heidi all over again. Most Sincerely, Katie D.

I'm looking for more experience with children as I want to specialize in pediatrics once I obtain my RN. I've worked with kids aged 1-14 for 6 months as a swim instructor as well as a few months at a local urgent care that saw children often. Another job I had was working as a direct support professional for a young adult with autism, providing meal preparation, laundry, transportation, and companionship. I've also worked in memory care units as well as assisted living for over a year now. This gives me experience in cares, both emotionally and ADL's. I've also worked with a young adult with autism. For my education I graduated high school spring of 2024, taking college courses during to start early in my nursing career. I've now finished my first year of college and am on track to graduating with my nursing degree in 2027. There's plenty more stated in my resume!

Hii my name is Maria, I've been working with children for about two years, primarily caring for toddlers through older kids. My experience has included everything from engaging little ones in play and helping with routines, to planning fun activities for older children. Growing up with a younger sibling helped me get a sense of responsibility and patience early on, and it's a big part of what sparked my interest in childcare. I love getting creative with kids whether it's making crafts, doing simple science experiments, or putting together themed activity days. I'm also happy to take children out for a change of scenery, whether that's to a local park, museum, or an after-school activity. I'm comfortable driving and enjoy helping kids explore the world around them in fun and safe ways.

I'm available for last minute weekend care. I'm patient, creative, and friendly. I'm comfortable enforcing household rules and enjoy playing outdoor games, board games, and educational activities. I have three years of experience caring for children aged 0-12+. I'm comfortable caring for up to three children (potentially more if some of them are older and more independent). I have some college education and have experience in CPR and First Aid. I communicate with parents through verbal updates and texts, following your preferred method. I'm happy to help with cooking, light housekeeping, travel, crafts, and swimming supervision. I have a car, and I'm comfortable with pets. I regularly babysit my 6 year old nephew, as well as my cousins ages 0-15. I also used to babysit my neighbors kids on a regular basis. I've always had a natural skill for communicating and negotiating with children. I understand that children tend to prefer a certain amount of choice and autonomy, and I'm always willing to find ways to keep kids happy, while still following the rules and instructions set by the parents. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out. I look forward to providing you time away from your children while becoming a role model in your children's lives.
