Hello, My name is Linda and I’ve been a nanny for over 10 years and been a sitter since I was a teenager. I’m 50 years old and have 3 children in college and a grown adopted niece who I raised since she was 7.

Hello! I'm Taryn, a 21-year-old senior at Lincoln Memorial University with an exercise science major and a psychology minor. I'm on a pre-doctoral track for occupational therapy, and my dream is to be a pediatric occupational therapist. I'm trying to find a part—or full-time nanny job for this summer, and I'm always open to babysitting on an as-needed basis. With 8+ years of babysitting experience, I've worked at an after-school daycare program, as full-time nanny the past few summers, and as a regular babysitter for local families during the school year. My experience spans from infants to 6th graders, including children with special needs including autism, non-verbal communication, and a range of behavioral challenges. I have a unique perspective on special needs care due to my close relationship with my 10 year old brother. He was fostered and adopted as a newborn and is currently diagnosed with intermittent explosive disorder, ADHD, and a generalized anxiety disorder. With trauma and drug exposure in utero he was diagnosed with intermittent explosive disorder and ADHD. I prioritize creating a positive, nurturing environment for every child in my care. My experience has equipped me with the skills to handle a wide range of situations, including severe behavioral outbursts, with patience and understanding. I'm available during most afternoons/evenings, and during the weekends, and I'm always happy to meet with families before committing, to make sure we're good fit! Please don't hesitate to reach out - I look forward to meeting you and your kiddos!

Hi! My name is Kanyiti, and I’m a CPR-certified, non-smoking caregiver with 4 years of diverse childcare experience. I specialize in caring for children of all ages, having spent 2 years babysitting little ones and another 2 years working with children in kindergarten and first grade in after-school programs and at the YMCA. I also worked a couple summers as a camp counselor primarily with 6th and 7th graders. In summer 2023, I had the opportunity to volunteer at an elementary school in Ghana, where I supported early childhood education and gained even more hands-on experience with young children. My background has helped me develop a strong understanding of child development, routines, and how to create a nurturing, engaging environment. I love planning fun, age-appropriate activities like sensory play, stroller walks, music time, story time, and baby-safe arts and crafts for younger kids and bike rides, board games, baking and outdoor games for older kids. I’m also a proud cat owner of three, so I’m very comfortable in homes with pets of all kinds! I’m based in Yorkville, have a fully open and flexible schedule this summer, and am passionate about helping children thrive. I’d love the opportunity to care for your little one and be a positive part of your family’s routine!
