Hi everyone! I'm Anna, I've always loved caring for and educating children. I have my Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education. I grew up in a big family with 11 siblings and over 20 nieces and nephews!! So caring for children has been a natural part of my life. I've worked with kids of all ages, but most of my professional experience is with 12months to 5 years old. I student taught at Hill and Plain elementary for the preschool. I led activities ranging from story times, music, and movement, to various art and sensory projects. My focus was always pushing curiosity and of course giving them a safe space to do so! Some activities I really enjoy doing with children are getting outside and going to the playground and parks, the library, sensory play, teaching shapes/colors, arts and crafts, and how to navigate their big emotions. Outside of work I'm big into health/fitness, visiting friends and family, reading and trying new things like restaurants or hobbies!

Hello parents, my name is Meghann. I have been working in childcare for a year and a half now. My first job as a nanny was with a big family of four children aged 4 months old, 3, 5, and 10 years old. After that, I moved on to work at a two daycare the first daycare i work at was working with in infants and toddler but I was bouncing around to preschool whenever they need with the second daycare i work at is at home daycare i work with the same group of kids with the previous of daycare i work. I also work with kids that have special needs, both toddlers. Other than that I do activities including arts and crafts, outdoor play, music and movement, story time, and structured learning activities like puzzles, memory match games, and building blocks. I also do have CPR and first aid certification that wouldn't expire until 2027 and some early childhood education and training programs. In my job people would ask me what interests me working with children. It's because working with children can be incredibly rewarding, as it involves fostering growth, sparking creativity, and building meaningful relationships, all while making a positive impact on young lives. I find immense joy in helping them learn and grow.

Hello! My name is GinaLynn and I am a professional nanny. I have been in childcare for over 20 years and absolutely LOVE it. Out of college I was a preschool teacher. My first year I was the head teacher of the 2 & 3 year olds and from there I became the head teacher of the 5 year olds, preparing them for kindergarten. As much as I loved being a teacher I was offered a nanny job I just couldn't refuse. From that point on I have had the joy of helping raise 9 children from 5 different families for 20+ years. I have taken care of children as young as 3 weeks old to 12 years old, both boys and girls. In addition to playing, teaching, crafts, adventures and exploring~I also take care of school drop-off/pick-up, extracurricular activities, doctor appointments, light house cleaning(child/children related), grocery shopping(without child/children), meal prep(for child/children only), laundry(child/children’s), pets, etc. I love every minute of it! I would love to meet /chat with you to see if the puzzle pieces fit. *Resume Upon Request Best Ms. Gina
