Hi! I’m Caelan. I absolutely adore kids and animals. I currently work in a large daycare taking care of kids from 0-6 years old. Art is one of my favorite hobbies, and I love teaching the kids fun art styles. I am certified in CPR and first aide and have been taking early childhood ed classes through my current employer. I love my job and all my kiddos but would love to be able to work with the same child/children everyday and help nurture them.

Hi, I'm Lauren! I am a caretaker, an artist and a hobby gardener. As one of six children I am no stranger to the joy-filled chaos of young children, or the necessity of multitasking and prep work to keep a happy household running smoothly. In addition to the immediate tasks of childcare like playtime, planning activities, and helping with schoolwork, I am also comfortable preparing meals and snacks, cleaning and tidying the house, and running whatever errands are most helpful. I have been the go-to neighborhood babysitter since I was a teenager and have had the pleasure of taking care of kids from 6 week old infants to twelve year old preteens! I am Red Cross CPR and First Aid Certified and have volunteer experience working with kids with childhood illness including those dealing with chronic illness, cancer, heart conditions, stoma bags, and other GI issues. I would consider one of my greatest strengths my sincere belief that playing is good for your brain and for your heart, and as long as we can work together there's nothing we can't do. If you have any interest in seeing if I'd be a good fit for your family, please don't hesitate to reach out!

Hi families! I’m currently transitioning out of working in an early childhood center after 5 years in childcare and am looking for a family to nanny for while I step away from corporate childcare.

A little about me outside of childcare, I enjoy sports, old classic music like rock & roll and R&B, family time, and just doing what makes you happy in life 😊
