Updated: Hi! My name is Heidi, and I'm looking for a part time nanny job! :) About me...I'm a flexible, dependable and trustworthy caregiver who loves to get into anything your kids love! What experiences have I had? Well, I have an Elementary Ed degree as well as, I was a "stay at home mom" that had the neighborhood kids 24/7, and loved it! Now that my two children are grown, I need to do something I love again. It's childcare! So, if you're looking for someone to engage your children, play it cool and relax, or anything in between... Look no further... I'm a flexible caregiver with great experience working with children! :) One thing that makes me unique is: With my degree, I have spent some time working in our school district, then started my nanny work in 2012. So, feel free to contact me, and I will reply! :) To whom it may concern, I am writing to recommend Heidi B. for a nanny position. Heidi has been with our family for years. She has cared for our son from the time he was 3 months old until after he turned 3 years old. She has been a wonderful, trustworthy and reliable caregiver. Heidi was always punctual and willing to work with our frequently shifting hours, whether it was asking her to arrive early or stay late. In addition to caregiving, she completed whatever tasks that were requested, particularly light housework and laundry. Most importantly, Heidi cared a great deal for our son and he loved her. He was always eager to see her, talk to her, and play with her, from his earliest moments of being able to express these emotions. We have four older children as well and Heidi was always willing to help care for them if they had to stay home from school with a cold or illness. She has also helped out with pick-ups from school and taking care of our other kids during after-school hours. I would hire Heidi all over again. Most Sincerely, Katie D.

Hi! I'm a certified surgical technologist looking for a second job that allows me to work closely with children—something I’ve always loved. After graduating high school, I worked as a nanny for several families and truly enjoyed building those connections. I also have plenty of hands-on experience caring for my own nieces and nephews. I'm energetic, reliable, and skilled in everything from diaper changes to preparing after-school meals. I'm CPR certified and have my own transportation. Have pets? No problem—I’m an animal lover, too! I’d love the opportunity to support your family and provide a safe, fun, and caring environment for your children.

I truly enjoy being a sitter because kids bring so much joy and energy into my day. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, so safety is always my top priority, but I also make sure there’s plenty of fun and creativity. With my experience, I’ve learned how to connect with kids of all ages and keep them engaged while giving parents peace of mind. Families can trust that their little ones are in safe, caring hands.

I did volunteer work in the church. For 3 years I took care of children of all ages at church. Babies from 6 months to 1 year, and children from 2 to 10 years. With the babies, I helped take care of them by giving them bottles, changing their diapers and putting them to sleep. When they were awake, they played games to stimulate the baby's skills, such as painting, playing Legos or watching cartoons on TV. With the older children I did activities that also stimulate their development, such as drawing and painting, playful games, I gave them snacks and was always there to give them all the support they needed, and it was really cool, because at the same time I taught them, I also learned from them. to be patient and empathetic and to understand their needs.

I have experience volunteering at my former college's day care where I have experience assisting during playtime, meals, naptime, and have experience interacting with children from ages 2-4. I also have reliable transportation as well. I've also had various free lance babysitting jobs so I have plenty of experience with children and I am also CPR and first aid certified. I also have two daughters of my own so I hold hands on newborn and infant care experience. Feel free to contact me for your childcare needs.
