I enjoy working with, caring for and being around children! I have 15 years of professional child care experience: Five years in a daycare setting working with infants to 5-year-olds. Four years as a full time nanny/housekeeper/household manager for two small children. Part time nanny for 3.5 years caring for a young girl. I've also done overnight babysitting for a family throughout the last 15 yrs. I currently nanny part time for 3-year-old twins and assist a first grader through remote learning part time as well. I find it rewarding to make a positive contribution in a family setting and be a part of the upbringing of a child. I enjoy aiding in child growth and development and helping children reach their milestones. I'm reliable, responsible, caring, warm, fun and patient. I'm seeking a reliable and consistent, full time position. Please reach out, ask questions, I'm available for phone interviews and would love to visit to meet in person. Let's talk!

Hi! My name is Mekymbria (Kym preferably) and I have been in the childcare field for about 3 years. I started off in a school age setting where I worked with elementary students falling behind in their curriculum. Eventually, I transitioned to a daycare setting where I worked with the most amazing toddlers for 2 years! I loved working with the kids there and desired to learn more about ALL kids. I currently have my RBT certification and I am in school working to become a BCBA as helping children on the spectrum is something I am extremely passionate about.

Hi there! I’m Annie — a compassionate, experienced childcare provider with over 13 years of hands-on experience caring for children from newborns to pre-teens. I’ve always loved being a sitter because I see every child as their own little universe — full of curiosity, creativity, and potential. Getting to support that growth and help them feel safe, seen, and confident is what keeps me passionate about this work. My childcare journey has included everything from full-time nannying and multiple overnight stays to classroom work as a one-on-one special education assistant. I’ve supported children with behavioral disorders, ADHD, autism, and trauma backgrounds, and I’m skilled at creating calm, structured, and nurturing environments where kids can thrive. In addition to my years of experience, I bring patience, emotional intelligence, and strong communication skills. I’m CPR and First Aid trained, have reliable transportation, and pride myself on being dependable, creative, and engaged — whether we’re doing crafts, reading stories, or exploring outdoors. If you’re looking for someone who balances warmth with professionalism and truly loves helping children grow, I’d love to connect with your family.

I have been a child care provider for over 25 years. I have worked in the school systems since 2001 and raised many children as their full time nanny. I have been a licensed speech language pathology assistant virtually in the afternoons/eveninhs for over 10 years. I love children and enjoy babysitting. I love to have a few select families that I babysit for on occasion as some extra money. Working in a virtual position has made me miss the hands-on experience. I get when babysitting/nannying.

For two years I was a nanny, and I believe in a very gentle approach that quietly stimulares the baby. I also babysat in church nurseries but I far prefer being able to give one on one time.
