I’m currently looking for part or full time positions. Most recently worked with a two year old and his one year old twin brothers. I’ve worked 1:1 with autistic kiddos working on speech, working through behavioral “problems” and have done sitdown table work as well with some kids in my class my first year in the school district preschool (I left that job after Covid hit and they wanted us to go back in person as well as conflict with the teacher I was a para for.) Working with kids is my biggest passion and creating connections and special bonds with them is my biggest joy. I’m very crafty and artistic and love to incorporate that in any way I can when I’m babysitting. Very basic knowledge of ASL (fingerspelling, common signs (milk, drink, eat/food, please, thank you, want, need, help, etc.)). **Fully covid Vaccinated! And boosted!**

Kaydon has a real gift and has been amazing with our kiddo. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone seeking a highly qualified sitter that gives them peace of mind that their kiddo is safe and well cared for.

I am currently 22, and I have been babysitting since I was 12. I have had a consistent childcare job(daycare, nannying) for the past few years. I have four years of experience as a summer camp counselor, and have moved on to a leadership team at the same camp. I can drive, and I am certified in CPR and first aid. I love getting outside with kids and doing art projects as well!

Hi, I’m Arianne. I’ve been a nanny for 12 years. I have Nannie’s all ages from infancy-pre teen. I tend to stay in long term positions if it’s the right fit. The last two families I have worked for have been long term. I was with my last family for 5 years and I still continue to do babysitting gigs for them when needed. They have 6 kids but I primarily cared for the 3 youngest (8,5, and 1). I have been with my current family for 2 years. They have 3 kids (8, 6, and 3) The youngest, I believe, will start preschool in the fall, so I’m putting feelers out for a new position. I do like to let potential families know a couple things before we proceed just not to waste anyone’s time and just in case values are extremely different. 1. I have a lot of tattoos and some piercings. But I do not do drugs or smoke and I rarely even drink. I am open to drug testing and full background checks. 2. I am a lesbian. I know that may not be acceptable to all people so I like to let people know beforehand. 3. This is my sole source of income. If you hire me on, I will need 40 guaranteed hours and sick pay. If for any reason needs change, I will need notice a month in advance. Thanks for taking the time to read this. And if I don’t hear from you, good luck finding an amazing caregiver.

Our family loves Arianne! She has been our nanny for the past year and we couldn't have found a better fit. She is loving, kind, fun, and our 2 year old loves her like family. She is highly communicative, always on time, and easy to be around.

Maria did a wonderful job with our daughter. She did everything we asked and sent us photos of our daughter having a great time. We came home to a tidied up house and a soundly sleeping kiddo. We are very satisfied with her care.

I enjoy creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel supported and confident to explore and grow. My experience includes working as a Site Coordinator for an after-school program, a Head Start teacher, a Program Director with the YMCA, and a kindergarten teacher. Across these roles, I’ve cared for children from infancy through elementary age, supporting their academic, social, and emotional development. I bring strong communication, patience, and leadership skills to every family I work with. I’m trained in child safety, CPR/First Aid, and mandated reporting, and I’m experienced in managing routines, behavior guidance, and creative play. I also value cultural awareness and inclusive care. Families can rely on me to be responsible, attentive, and proactive in meeting their child’s needs while creating a positive, fun atmosphere.

Hello! My name is Jess, and I am a first year nursing student at SPSCC. I have experience working at a gym daycare for three years, after I turned 16 and I loved it! My passion is working with kids, and have experience working with all age groups (3mo- 12yo), though my favorite to work with are toddlers and infants :) I also have my Nursing Assistant Certification and work at a long term care facility, and have my first aid and CPR certification as well (can send proof/info!) My goal after nursing school is to become a pediatrics or labor and delivery nurse, but in the mean time, I am looking for a part time position where I am needed occasionally, a few times a week or for date nights! I'm available most weekends, and would be able to adjust my current schedule to meet your needs. My focus is giving your child a safe and fun environment to learn and grow. I am firm, but patient and kind; I can work with you on any challenges that your child may come to. In my spare time, I like to make crafts, baking, going on walks, and spending time with my family and friends. I look forward to meeting you and your family!
