Hello families! I’m a professional full-time nanny and a teacher with a genuine passion for working with children and supporting their growth and development. My experience in both childcare and education helps me create an environment that is safe, nurturing, engaging, and age-appropriate. I’m patient, responsible, attentive, and dependable, and I enjoy combining fun activities with opportunities for children to learn, explore, and develop new skills. I’m currently available for occasional babysitting during my days off, weekday evenings, and date nights, depending on my schedule. I can assist with dinner, playtime, bedtime routines, and educational activities, while making sure children feel comfortable and cared for. I know that trust is essential when choosing a babysitter, and I prioritize safety, clear communication, and respecting each family’s routines and preferences. Whether you need a reliable sitter for a date night or occasional childcare, I’d be happy to connect with your family. I look forward to meeting you!

Hello! My name is Lauren and I am 28 years old. I have a full time job as a financial analyst during the day and I’m usually free after work and occasionally on weekends. I love working with kids, being around children always puts a smile to my face. I have experience in babysitting for 5 years during college and a few years after. I’ve worked with kids in various ages from infant to teenagers. I love being outdoors and taking walks outside if the weather is nice, if not I have a variety of board games and movies to enjoy indoors.
