Hi parents! My name is Mereema, and I’m a dedicated, energetic, and compassionate caregiver with years of experience working with children of all ages. Taking care of kids has always come naturally to me—I grew up helping raise my two younger sisters and have since worked as a nanny, babysitter, and even a kids’ ski instructor. I truly love what I do and strive to create a fun, engaging, and nurturing environment for every child I care for. I have experience with infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids, handling everything from meal prep and bedtime routines to arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, and developmental activities. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, have a reliable car, and always prioritize safety and well-being. Whether it’s reading books, playing at the park, or organizing creative learning experiences, I make sure every child feels cared for, supported, and entertained. If you’re looking for a responsible, loving, and experienced sitter who will treat your little ones like family, I’d love to chat! Let’s connect and see if I’d be a great fit for your needs.

Thanks for reviewing my profile! There's nothing I would rather do than be with infants, toddlers & children. I provide whatever each child needs - comfort and cuddling, down-on-the-floor game playing, or, athletic, artistic and intellectual activities. With experience as both a pre-school teacher and mother of three remarkable daughters, I respect & adore children of all ages, using patience, kindness, redirection and humor to bring out the best in them (and in myself!). I have a proven ability to swiftly form trusting bonds with children & I consider caring for their well-being to be one of humankind's most important responsibilities. I am a founding board member of the Golisano Children's Museum in Naples, FL, where I just relocated from after 35 years! I hold a BA degree in Literature & my interests include history, jazz, nutrition, biking, art, & photography. Seeking short term, occasional, newborn support, one-time, special event, sick care & emergency. $25/hr.

I’m an artist with 20+ years of childcare experience, including a decade as a nanny in New York City (where I graduated from Columbia University). Since moving to the South, I enjoy meeting new families and learning how I can best support kids’ confidence, curiosity, and creativity as a sitter. I love spending time with kids outside (scootering, critter observing, sprinkler hopping!), making things (painting, sewing, baking!), reading books, and practicing new skills (cutting with scissors, phonics!) I have experience with kids on the spectrum, epi-pens, infants, and twins. I strive for clear communication and being a nurturing, peaceful presence in the home. Open to overnights and travel sitting as needed.

My name is Ariana gaines. I'm new to the area and seeking my next nanny opportunity with a wonderful family. I'm a kind, compassionate, and caring person born and raised on camp lejeune base. As the oldest of my siblings, caregiving has always been a part of my day-to-day. So, naturally, I turned to childcare as a profession at the age of 16, and l've never looked back. My background caring for infants, toddlers, and youth started working at a daycare and then a pre-school as a assistant teacher.In college, I upgraded to working with private families . I've been working in childcare for the last 5 years, and am CPR and First Aid certified. In my free time, I enjoy working out and going to the library from time to time. I'm looking forward to finding the next family that I'll be working with short term or long-term. It's important that we both feel we're the right match for one another, so I appreciate you taking the time to read through my bio. I hope we connect soon!
