Hey families. I am a Nanny with over 13 years of experience caring for children ranging from newborns to teenagers. I have a college education in childcare development and I bring a great amount of knowledge and care to each role. I was a day care teacher in the UK and took care of babies from new born to 5 years old and after school programs where children aged up to 7. Jan 2022- Oct 2023, I was as an au pair for almost 2 years and I currently work with multiple families one being everyday and others being occasionally. I am very good at multitasking many children at one since working in day cares required so. My role includes a lot of responsibilities including school drop offs, driving to activities, laundry, sleep training, dinner preps, bottle cleaning/feeding and more.

Hi I’m Sara! I have a deep passion when it comes to working with kids. I am a Montessori preschool teacher and have been nannying for over a decade. I think each kid has something special, goofy, fun and curious about them which is why I love getting to know and care for each and every one. I value compassion, structure, and creativity and I believe that is reflected in the way I interact with children.

I have over 12 years of paid childcare/provider experience, and hold a Bachelors, Masters, and PhD. in various forms of psychology. ________________ I have been working as a research scientist for a biotech startup, which is moving to Florida. ________________ Do to the nature and niche of my career/field, I will be around to provide care services on an occasional or part-time basis for the next 6 or so months. My only other commitment is teaching a singlecollege course (remote), and aproximately 5 hours a week of consulting work (at my leisure). ________________ I am open to all hours/days and live in the Sugarhouse neighborhood of Salt Lake City, with reliable transportation. I frequently go to Park City during the winter months for outdoor activities (hold an epic mountain pass), and am therefor more than willing to travel to the Park City area for sits. ________________ First began nannying 13 yrs ago for an infant I would get ready and drop off at daycare. I ended up accepting a job at the daycare and worked in the infant and preschool rooms until I began nannying for a family of three (4 on weekends) that consisted of an infant, a 3 year old and a 12 year old. _________ I continued sitting for certain families for several years beyond my formal childcare jobs while I worked as an applied behavioral analysis technician in a center for children with learning and behavioral needs until I went off to graduate school. ________________ During my masters, PhD, and fellowship, I sat occasionally-weekly for several families throughout the 7 years after my bachelors. That included evening and occasional care for children diagnosed with autism, postnatal care, mommy’s helper, and date night sitters for children as young as 4 weeks to as old as 13yrs. ________________ I coached hockey and figure skating to kids from 3 to 16 yrs old, and helped run an afterschool skating program with the YMCA and Boys & Girls Club in Hartford, CT for several years. ________________ Asside from my knowledge from prior childcare experience and professional degrees, I am very professional, honest, ethical, loving, outdoorsy, and excel at active engagement with children. I enjoy incorporating educational components into everyday play, activities, and sports.

I’m a nursing student at Michigan State University and have worked as a Medical Assistant in a busy healthcare setting, so I’m used to staying calm, organized, and responsible even when things get hectic. I’m CPR and BLS certified, and that training has really helped me feel confident when it comes to safety and responding quickly if something unexpected happens. I’ve babysat for a family with two kids and a dog, where I helped with everyday routines like meals, playtime, and keeping the kids entertained and on track. I’m also comfortable with pets and used to juggling a few things at once while still keeping everything running smoothly. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids—playing, talking, and keeping things fun but structured. I’m dependable, easygoing, and really focused on making sure kids are safe, happy, and well cared for while parents feel completely at ease.

Hi I’m Alexa and the reason I babysit is because I honestly really love kids. I understand that parents are busy so while you are out I’m here to make sure you’re number 1 priority is my number 1 priority, aka your child. My experiences with tutoring have taught me every child learns different and is different, so when I look after yours I promise to make sure they are individually getting the time and care they need. As someone who has over 15 certifications in the health field, safety is definitely my first priority. But while you’re away I will make sure your child is entertained and having a good time. I am very good at arts and crafts and coming up with new crafts to do.

Hi there, I am a momma of two sweet boys, ages 1 and 5 years old and one fur baby! I have my elementary teaching license with 8 year experience in the classroom classroom. With that being said, I am creating a supplimental arts and craft program for local preschool and elementary aged children on the weekends. This will be directed through my preschool childcare program ‘ Mrs. Darnall’s Little Learners’. I am nearing the end of the licensing process for my preschool, so that will be coming soon this fall! In the mean time, I will be doing a flexible summer childcare program with both half and full day options for children aged 2-5. The program has limited spots to ensure that a small-group setting can be provided. Please message me if interested in the arts and crafts program offered on Saturdays starting in JUNE, or my summer program. Best, Michelle

I grew up in a very large family, growing up I always had a cousin or relative watching us and it helped all of us kids feel safe. That’s what I want to be for your kids, someone that makes them feel safe. I also love the outdoors and want to spend as much time outside as possible. I babysat growing up and I have also worked at a pediatric dental office. Working with kids all day really showed me how different everyone can be. Each kid has their own personality and things they may struggle with but I am willing to help them be the best version of themself. While working in a pediatric office I became CPR certified for all ages and know the basics of first aid as well.

I’ve been an elementary teacher for over 30 years and am also a proud mom of three. I absolutely love being a sitter because it lets me watch children learn, grow, and explore through play. Helping kids discover new things in a fun, caring environment is one of my favorite parts of what I do. In addition to teaching, I work as an after-school tutor and hold a ZA endorsement, which has strengthened my knowledge of early childhood development. I bring patience, dependability, and a genuine love for children to every family I work with. My goal is always to create a safe, engaging space where kids can feel happy, confident, and curious.
