I am skilled in all aspects of child care, errand running, transportation to doctor visits, creative crafts, help with homework, light housekeeping, and meal prep. Our spare time is spent traveling to see our little blessings who call us grandma and papa. Please feel free to reach out and ask for references/resume. I would love to help our your family.

Always loved children since I was a child. Starting teaching preschool at my church at age 18. I have done so many types of volunteer work (with my children being involved as well), but the most rewarding has always been with helping children. They are our future and I believe parenting is not only the most important job we can have, but also the best and definitely the most rewarding. I studied Elementary Education in college years ago, but have always had the natural instinct to teach, especially while playing. I sure would love an opportunity to make a difference in other angel's lives.

Hi! I’m Madison, a dedicated and nurturing childcare provider based in Summerville, SC. With experience in a variety of childcare settings including in-home care, daycare, and elementary school aftercare. I bring flexibility, patience, and a deep understanding of children’s unique needs at every stage. I’m comfortable caring for children from 3 months old to 10 years old and tailor my approach to support each child’s development and personality. I’m currently looking for a family to grow with long-term. I’m also comfortable around pets and happy to help with them as needed. In addition to childcare, I offer light housekeeping to help keep your home running smoothly. My top priority is supporting children in reaching their next milestones while creating a safe, engaging, and age-appropriate environment where they can thrive. Let’s connect and see if we’re a great fit!

I began my childcare journey nannying for wonderful families in 2015 and again in 2019, caring for multiple young children and supporting their daily routines with patience and enthusiasm. After gaining valuable experience as an admissions advisor and later relocating to Arizona, I had the privilege of nannying for an amazing family from May 2023 through November 2024. In that role, I supported developmental milestones, provided age-appropriate activities, assisted with light housekeeping, and attended classes alongside the child to encourage learning and social growth. Now that I’m back in the Midwest, I’m excited to find a new family to support with the same dedication and warmth. I am CPR certified and committed to creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for the children in my care.

Hi! I'm Maria and am located in Lowell Indiana and am currently in my third year of nursing school, with a plan to continue my education and get my masters to become an NP and specialize in pediatrics:) I've had experience working as a daycare teacher for 3 years and absolutely loved every minute of it! I have worked with children as young as 5 weeks but also have loved working with older ones as well. I've taken many training courses over the years on how to be the safest and best caretaker possible. I also have a lot of knowledge on how to create an open and fun learning environment that sparks creativity and laughter in the children I've had the privilege of taking care of. I have worked nanny, aupair, travel nanny, and house manager roles to multiple families over the last 9 years. I am currently looking for a part time nannying position. My ideal family would allow me the freedom of taking the kids (depending on their age) out and about to fun play places and not just be restricted to the house, as well as agree to guaranteed hours. I would love to provide you with a long list of awesome references and can elaborate more on my experiences as a nanny if you are interested:)

I have babysit at church and have for families. I am very organized and have worked in daycares, preschools, elementary schools, and mentoring programs for older kids and teens. I have every single kind of book and learning material available to help kids. I have toys that are age appropriate and know how to keep children engaged. Children have always loved me and parents are very grateful for everything I do. I am good with keeping things tidy and clean and caring for children who are sick. I have plenty of experience working with Special Needs kids and with ELL learners. I have babysat infants and toddlers too. Organizations, actively supervising, nurturing children, and making sure they are learning are my greatest strengths.

Hi everyone my name is Ava!

I mainly work with elementary-aged kids and truly enjoy keeping them engaged, supported, and smiling. I’m currently a college student majoring in education, so working with kids is something I’m genuinely passionate about. I’m compassionate, outgoing, and patient, with experience in meal prep, light housekeeping, homework help, and planning fun physical and creative activities.

I'd describe my personality as responsible, creative, and nurturing. I like working with kids because I enjoy helping kids reach individual milestones and nurturing their creativity. I'm looking for a job where I can build a positive work relationship with families and will offer opportunities to nurture, teach, and support children. I started working with kids at 20 years old. Working with kids inspired me to seek out higher education and helped me grow into the person I am today. In my spare time, I like to read, write, and make arts and crafts.
