Kendra R., Nanny in Columbia, SC 29229 with 10 years of paid experience

Hello, my name is Kendra. I have been working with children for 10+ years. My key for your child and/or children is to be consistent with development, and nurturing. Activities that I enjoy are music, reading, arts&crafts, and nature walks. It is essential that I guide a child to identify within themselves as well as the world. Every child has a right to be cared for by someone whom they feel secure with. I strive to make a difference in the development of your child's life. Pay rates are negotiable. Thank You.

Lauryn W., Nanny in Columbia, SC 29229 with 6 years of paid experience

Hi, I’m Lauryn! Originally from South Carolina and currently offering services to both of the Carolinas (NC/SC), I’m an HBCU pre-law and communications graduate with a minor in sociology. With nearly nine years of childcare experience, I’ve worked with families as both a babysitter and a nanny, caring for children from infancy through elementary school. A typical day with me might include playtime, preparing meals, helping with homework, light housekeeping during nap time, and planning outings like trips to the zoo, pool, or movies. I’m not the biggest fan of screen time and prefer engaging kids in sensory-based learning activities and outdoor adventures. I believe kids thrive when they’re active, creative, and hands-on in their play. I also have a clean driving record, my own car, and full insurance, so I’m happy to help with school pickups, extracurriculars, or errands. A little bit about me: I’m the eldest of three siblings and a certified tutor with a focus on English, reaching, and writing. I’m also a writing coach and love sharing my skills through one-on-one tutoring and interactive activities. I’m certified in adult and pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED through the Red Cross, and I offer beginner viola and voice lessons for kids in my community. In my free time, I enjoy running, hiking, reading, and living a mostly plant-based lifestyle. I’m passionate about building meaningful relationships with families and creating a safe, fun, and supportive environments for kids to grow. I look forward to meeting your family!

Tatyana S., Nanny in Columbia, SC 29229 with 12 years of paid experience

I’m a caring, patient, and dependable person who truly loves working with children. I’ve had babysitting experience with kids of different ages, helping with things like playtime, meals, homework, bedtime routines, and making sure they feel safe and happy. I always try to create a calm, fun, and loving environment where kids feel comfortable being themselves. I love child care and caregiving because it’s so rewarding to watch children learn, grow, and smile. Being someone they can trust and feel safe with means a lot to me. I enjoy building connections with both children and families and knowing I can help make their day a little easier. I’m attentive, responsible, and great at following routines, and I always put safety first. I take pride in being reliable and kind, and I genuinely enjoy caring for others. Child care isn’t just something I do — it’s something I truly love.

Cassidy W., Nanny in Columbia, SC 29229 with 12 years of paid experience

Hello! I'm Cassidy, a dedicated and experienced educator and child development specialist with over five years of hands-on work supporting children and families. I absolutely love helping kids grow, learn, and thrive in fun, nurturing ways—whether through playful activities, creative lessons, or calm, supportive routines. As a certified elementary teacher, I've spent time in classrooms creating engaging, hands-on lessons for elementary-aged kids, integrating technology and differentiated activities to meet every child's unique needs. I also worked as an Early Intervention Specialist with children ages 0-5, conducting developmental assessments, designing play-based interventions to boost speech, motor skills, and social-emotional growth, and partnering closely with families to create and follow Individualized Family Service Plans (IFSPs). I monitored progress closely and loved empowering parents with tools and resources to continue that support at home. What families often appreciate about me is my calm, patient approach combined with creativity—I enjoy arts and crafts, reading stories, outdoor play, and turning everyday moments into learning opportunities. I'm skilled at building strong relationships with parents through open communication, progress updates, and collaboration to make sure everyone feels supported. I'm currently pursuing my Master's in Education and hold a Bachelor's in Education, so I'm always bringing fresh, evidence-based ideas to caregiving. I'm reliable, flexible, and committed to creating safe, joyful experiences for your children. I'd love to chat about how I can help your family—feel free to message me!
