Hello, my name is Courtney! I have extensive childcare experience, both as a professional nanny of 8 years and as a stay-at-home mom of 4.5 years, as I also continue to babysit occasionally. A little fun fact, during my nanny career, I became what’s called an au pair when I moved abroad to the Netherlands with one of my families. Over the years, I’ve developed the skills to manage the various needs of children of all ages, from infants to school-age kids. My work as a nanny allowed me to create educational and fun activities, keep consistent schedules, handle meal preparations, maintain household chores, and ensure a safe and nurturing environment. Now, while occasionally babysitting, I bring this same level of care and attention, adapting to each child’s needs and providing a reassuring presence for both the child and their parents. Communication is also very important to me. My availability is flexible during the week and can provide care on the weekends. I understand each childcare situation is unique and if parents are comfortable, I’m happy to care for your child in my home during the day where my two sweet and friendly boys (4.5 years & 13 months old) will be around to play and interact with. For evening care, I can come to your home without bringing my children along, ensuring focused attention on your child. Thank you so much for taking the time to learn about me and hope to hear from you soon!

Hello! I am a responsible and fun nanny. I enjoy playing with kids, cleaning, and making food. I am very flexible, can multitask, take directions well, and love all adventures - especially outdoors! My goal is to learn something new every day. I am looking for fulltime nanny work, starting June 2nd. Certifications: - Adult, Child and Baby First Aid/CPR/AED - American Red Cross - Carseat Safety - Aspirus Health More About Me Relevant experiences where I also cared for children were… - Watching 6 kids (3-13 y.o.) for 6 days straight while their parents went on vacation - Babysitting my nieces/nephews (1-8 y.o.) over the past four years - Babysitting for families in town, especially (9-18 m.o.) - Helped my sister move her 5 kids across the country in a minivan. - Tutoring humanities and writing (16-21 y.o.) Activities I enjoy doing with children… Going for walks, picking flowers, identifying wildlife, playing yard and card games, singing or playing music (piano, voice), baking, drawing, exploring new toys and games with the children. The most important part about being a nanny… I love seeing each child's personality, their strengths and struggles. As a Christian, my goal is to provide not only for their physical health, but also their emotional and spiritual wellbeing. I believe each person has a purpose, and it is very fulfilling to encourage people to grow better each day. Special Needs... I have experience nannying children with autism and ADHD. My favorite nanny moment… I love hearing children tell stories and learning about what they find important. Once, when my 7 y.o. niece couldn't fall asleep, she called me into her room and told me all about her three crushes. One ran very fast. The other was so strong, but her favorite throws "so far!"

At the age of 14, my ADVENTURE of babysitting began. Living in a gated-community, I drove my bike 10 minutes away to a families home in which I would get their 7 year old off the bus and ‘play’ (I viewed babysitting as something fun to do) with him for a few hours. Since then, I have created many more adventures with numerous families and kiddos of all ages! From building Lego sets, finding arts & crafts ideas, helping parents and kiddos through the horrors of online schooling during COVID-19, going from reading picture books-to-chapter books, being able to see these young future leaders grow; all while I am growing and learning more myself! I completed my Associates Degree - Associates in Science at Harrisburg Community College in 2021. After completing over 70 early education credits, I then transferred to Shippensburg University. I am going into my final semester of my school career (well where I’m the one attending… for now!). In Fall of 2023, I will be starting my semester of student teaching, very exciting! I will be graduating from Shippensburg with a Bachelor’s degree in Early Education PreK-4. I then plan on becoming a full-time sub at a local school district to get even more experience and education in the real-world! I hope to teach either 2 or 3 grade for a few years and eventually resume my studies at Ship for my Masters Degree in Special Education!

I have always had a deep passion for caring for children, which led me to pursue several internships in childcare during my time in college. These experiences gave me hands-on knowledge in providing attentive and nurturing care, even though I didn’t receive formal certifications. During my internships, I helped children with their daily routines, organized fun, educational activities, and ensured they felt safe and supported at all times. My childcare experience, I have developed strong communication and organizational skills, which help me maintain a structured yet fun environment for children. While I don't have formal certifications, my hands-on experience and commitment to children’s well-being allow me to create a positive and engaging environment for kids to thrive in.
