I've been a nanny for 6 years now. It's the best job I have ever had! I love kids and always wanted to open up my own day care center. That never happened so I'm doing the next best thing! I love playing games, reading books, singing songs and nursery rhymes. I like to play outside at the park or just go on a walk and explore. I hope that you consider me for the most important position in your home. Finding that perfect nanny is a stressful decision for you. I hope to meet with you and your family to see if we are that perfect fit! If you decide to go in a different direction, I wish you the best on your search. Sherri

Debbie was excellent with our newborn and our 10 yr old with special needs. She was communicative, reliable, super hands on and engaging. Both the kids enjoyed her. She has a natural affinity for caregiving and for child care and it shows. Her experience impressed us but her ability to jump in (our primary sitter fell through) and not miss a beat was truly a blessing. Would highly recommend her for your child care needs! She is a gem.

I became a Nanny because I absolutely love children of all ages! I come from a family of 9 children, and at the age of 5, I became an Aunt. Ever since then, I was raised babysitting all my nieces and nephews, which there were a lot of! I eventually had 3 children of my own, and between between all 3 of them, they have blessed me with 6 grandchildren ranging in ages from 6 months to 12 years old. I am very reliable, honest, loyal, trust worthy and I will care for any children as if they were my own. I love being able to teach children, regardless of what it is. I am a very creative person and I enjoy doing many things with children. If you’re interested about learning more about me, please feel free to reach out to me. Thank you

I’ve always loved being around kids and helping take care of others. As the oldest sister to my two younger brothers, I started babysitting at a young age. Over time, I also began watching children from my church. I’m definitely a people person, so building connections with both kids and parents comes naturally to me. My faith is a big part of my life, and caring for children is something that’s always felt very meaningful to me because I hope to have a family of my own one day.

I am a nursing student looking for a fulfilling role this summer! I have experience as a nanny, summer camp counselor, and healthcare worker in the public school system. I have worked with infants, toddlers, and school-aged children, and I am CPR and First Aid certified with clinical experience as well. I also have extensive experience working with children with special needs. Growing up with a sibling who has special needs and volunteering as a caregiver with Special Olympics has given me valuable experience providing compassionate, individualized care. Working with children is incredibly rewarding to me. I love getting to know each child's unique personality, supporting their growth and development, and creating engaging activities that encourage learning and outdoor play. Outside of work, I enjoy flying and earned my pilot's license two years ago. I have my own reliable transportation and a flexible schedule. If you think I may be a good fit for your family, I would be happy to provide references or schedule a call. I look forward to connecting with you!

My name is Julie. I've been a sitter in high school, college, and beyond. I'm comfortable with children of all ages and pets too! I love helping kids with homework after school and don't mind helping out around the house with meal prep, laundry, and dishes. I take a hands on approach to childcare, so your child will never be left in front of a tv or ipad. I encourage play at all stages and like to help children develop their imagination. I am fluent in American Sign Language (ASL) and can teach your child to sign (if you'd like). I've worked as a paraprofessional in Special Education and with children that have autism and other disorders as well. I am flexible and adapt well to change, whether immediate or planned. I have been a sitter long term and also just for date nights. I'm down to earth, practical, and approachable. If you're looking for a sitter, I would love to meet you and your family. Please message me today!
