Kara R., Nanny in Petal, MS 39465 with 2 years of paid experience

As a dedicated and compassionate college student, I’ve found tremendous fulfillment in caring for and supporting children. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience working with kids of various ages, and I’ve developed a deep understanding of how to create safe, nurturing, and engaging environments where children can grow, learn, and be themselves. I take pride in being someone kids feel comfortable around—someone they can laugh with, learn from, and look to for support. Whether it’s helping with homework, organizing fun activities, preparing meals, or simply being present and attentive, I strive to be dependable, patient, and kind in every interaction. I understand how important consistency and trust are in a child’s life, and I bring that sense of responsibility into every home I work in. In addition to my childcare experience, I’m also very comfortable around pets, especially cats. I know that many families consider their pets part of the family, and I’m more than happy to help care for them as well. My calm and respectful approach to animals adds to the peaceful, supportive environment I aim to create in any home. Balancing college life with part-time work has taught me how to manage my time effectively, stay organized, and communicate clearly—all of which are essential qualities in a reliable nanny. I’m excited about the opportunity to support your family and contribute positively to your children’s daily lives. Thank you for considering my application. I’d love the opportunity to bring my experience, energy, and care to your home.

I absolutely love kids, I have babysat in the past for numerous families. I have a great fun-like and outgoing personality. I am very good with kids and the elderly tend to really love me. I did work as a nurse for a while but would rather care for kids. I have saved an elderly person twice from choking in the nursing home when I worked there.

Hello! My name is Terceira. I'm 22years old, a proud fur mama, and a dedicated, nurturing childcare provider with over 6 years of paid experience and 4 years of unpaid experience, caring for children from newborn to age 10. I'm known for creating a safe, engaging, and developmentally supportive environment where children can learn, play, and thrive.

My goal is to become someone your child looks forward to seeing and your family can truly count on.
