I am a junior at Auburn University and I am a nursing major and just started my upper division nursing classes! I have always loved being around children and have been working with them for quite a while. I went to a private high school that had a child care center and I worked there every week from my sophomore year to my senior year of high school! The age range of the child care center was 6 weeks to 3 years old. I also had around 15 families that I got to babysit/nanny for regularly until I left for college! I still get to babysit for them when I go home for breaks! Those ages ranged from newborn to 12 years old. In addition, I also got the opportunity to intern at the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta for a summer! I would describe myself as very calm and comforting! My goal is to provide reliable child care while also being a safe and loving space for children when their parents or guardians are not present! I strive to nurture and create fun memories for children while we are together and to create a peace of mind for parents while they are away from their children!

I’m easygoing, responsible, and really enjoy working with kids. Right now, I work as an Assistant Teacher at Grand Valley State University’s Children’s Enrichment Center in Michigan, so I spend my days helping kids learn, play, and feel comfortable in a safe environment. Before that, I was a summer nanny for three years, caring for multiple kids at once. I love getting outside with kids, playing games, and just keeping them engaged and having fun. At the same time, I’m very comfortable handling routines like meals, transitions, and keeping things clean and organized. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and safety is always a top priority for me. I try to build a good connection with each child and make sure they feel heard and supported. I’m dependable, patient, and happy to help wherever needed.

I am a current college student at Auburn University and I absolutely love kids. Throughout my childhood and high school I was a dancer. In this role, I was often with and caring for younger children, including teaching young children during my 7th-8th years! While my paid experience involves hosting and waitressing, I am happiest when spending time with children. Through my time with cousins and family friends, I feel I am ready to take on the position of caretaker and babysitter.

Hi! My name is Annelise and I am a recent Auburn University College of Nursing Graduate. I am 22 years old and have been working with kids for 9 years. I have worked with numerous families over the years, and cared for kids of all ages. I have been a nanny, an after school sitter, gymnastics coach, Sunday school leader, Lighthouse Ministries volunteer ( children affected by childhood cancer). I am entirely comfortable with kiddos of all ages, including caring for multiple kids at a time. My goal is that kids feel loved and cared for, while the parents can rest in knowing their children are in good hands. I consider myself very friendly, energetic, and genuine! I love working with kids because I think children are the greatest joy! My love for being around kiddos has even pushed me to choose the job I recently accepted at a local hospital in Birmingham on their Neonatal ICU.
