Find experienced nannies in Lake Junaluska, NC

Hi there! My name is Kara and I’m 30 years old. Currently, I work as a full time professional nanny for a 1 year old girl! I have cared for children ranging from newborn (few days old) all the way up to middle school age with several years experience. The best qualities to describe me would be honest, outgoing, trustworthy, creative, and fun. I'm also CPR certified and first aid certified. In my spare time I like to spend time at the beach, spend time with friends, stay active, reading books, doing anything outdoors, or doing really anything to stay busy. Patience is key and children are my passion. I have also taken multiple classes regarding newborns, infants, and toddlers based upon safety, general care, and sleep conditioning!! Last but not least, I’m a certified advanced newborn care specialist, in a self paced program without a deadline studying to become a certified postpartum doula, as well as another self paced program without a deadline studying to become a certified pediatric sleep consultant! Hope to hear from you!

I've always loved working with kids, and childcare is something I genuinely enjoy. I have around 4 years of experience caring for children of different ages, from infants to pre-teens. I'd describe myself as patient, easygoing, and creative, and I always try to make kids feel safe, comfortable, and have fun. I enjoy things like outdoor activities, games, crafts, and finding fun ways to keep kids engaged. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, have taken Early Child Development coursework, and I'm comfortable helping with things like light housekeeping, meals, carpooling, travel, and swim supervision if needed. I also know how important communication is, so I'm always happy to keep parents updated however they prefer. More than anything, I just love building positive relationships with kids and being someone families can trust and rely on.

Hello! I am a 35 year old professional loving life as a Nanny and Family Assistant! I have 15+ years of experience working directly with children ages 3 months-10 years, plus mentoring teens. My passions include music, art, cooking, gardening and the outdoors. I love finding creative activities to do with the children in my care that promote growth and self expression, and I love encouraging children to look at their surroundings to learn and discover new things. Whether that means going for a nature walk, cooking fresh picked veggies, or making a mess while we paint, I believe a child learns best when given the freedom to explore and ask questions in a safe and nurturing environment, and I love being part of that process! Training beyond my college degree includes a Child Development Certification, and I am CPR and First Aid certified.
