Hello, my name is Clara and I have taken care of children for over 40 years now and love it. I am currently with a very loving family now. They are having their second child and the mom just told me she is quitting her job to stay home with the kids. They want to still keep me but, my hours will be cut. I have been with them 3 years in April and love the little girl like my granddaughter. I have worked in a daycare center where I took care of four infants at a time loved every minute of it. I fed them, read to them, sang to them, played with them, took them outside, and saw to whatever their needs were to be done. I worked with special needs children. I helped teach one sign language so he could speak to us. I worked for them for 3 years. I only left because they divorced and the mom could not afford to pay me anymore. I worked for another couple who had 4 kids 4 dogs plus I helped clean the house. I worked there for 41/2 years. I drove their kids all over for their extracurricular activities. They will give me a great review or reference, so will the people I am with currently. I enjoy taking the kids outside, to the parks, cooking with them, doing crafts with them, playing with them, and just plain having fun. Thank you for your time.

Clara has been working for us for almost 4 years, she is truly like family and treats our daughter like her own grandchild. Clara does daily crafts, helps with housework, takes our daughter outside to play and is willing to help do whatever we need. Our daughter is so excited to play with her and do fun crafts each time she is here. She was a great help with potty training our daughter and has taught her so much over the past 4 years. She is extremely reliable and has never been late. We truly feel so blessed to have found Clara, she has been incredible for this family and we would give her our best recommendation. Please feel free to ask for my contact with any questions.

Howdy, my name is Caryl. I am a veteran of seven years as a food service specialist with four of my own from teens to four years old. Even though i have family experience with nieces and nephews, it doesn't equate to professional time in service. As a veteran with prior training in combat first aid and safety awareness, i will ensure that your wee ones will be entertained, clean, and love learning to be independent with guidance. I also do not mind whatsoever potty training, food/meal prep, schedules, cleaning, yard work or transportational needs. I am currently on break in between colleges for my eventual bachelors degree in elementary education for grades k- 3rd grade teaching.

Hi! I’m Grace. I’m from Michigan and have been nannying for 8 years, caring for children from newborns through 18 years old. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each child’s personality and finding ways to make them feel comfortable, supported, and confident! I believe children do best when they have someone who is patient, attentive, and willing to meet them where they are. I have experience caring for children with special needs, including cerebral palsy, autism, Down syndrome, and neurological disorders. I’m comfortable with everything from daily routines, meals, activities, homework, and outings to the little unexpected moments that come with caring for children. I like keeping a good routine while still making room for plenty of play, creativity, and fun! My family is a big part of who I am. I help care for my brother, who has cerebral palsy, and that has taught me a lot about patience, compassion, and caring for someone with different needs. A fun part of my life is also getting to support him at long-distance Ironman races and cheer him on throughout his training and races. Outside of nannying, I love spending time with my Husband and Family, playing sports, getting outside, and traveling. I’m currently available 2 days a week, CPR and First Aid certified, and have a valid driver’s license. If you think I might be a good fit for your family, I’d love to hear from you and learn more about you and your little ones!
