With a Bachelor of Science in Health Promotion and over five years of experience working with children, I bring a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm to every family I work with. As a nanny and pervious elementary school teacher, I developed a passion for guiding and educating young minds. My bubbly and friendly personality allows me to build strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents, creating a positive and nurturing environment for everyone. I am committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of the children in my care. My background in health promotion means I have a deep understanding of child development and the importance of fostering healthy habits. I also have experience in tutoring, making me an ideal choice for families seeking educational support. Additionally, I am skilled in providing senior care, pet care, and special needs support, ensuring that I can meet the diverse needs of any household. If you're looking for a nanny who is dedicated, reliable, and has a genuine love for working with children, I would be thrilled to join your family and provide the compassionate care you deserve.

Lilith $17 per hour for 1 child

I would describe myself as an outgoing, energetic, responsible and overall patient individual. I enjoy working with children, as I believe they are our future! I also believe that working with children provides an opportunity to discover a new purpose everyday! While nothing is going to come easy, the gratification I feel breaking through to a child and seeing their face light up with that “ah ha” moment is worth it. I have been working with children for the majority of my life. As of right now, I work for a caregiving service that specializes in the care of children with special needs, called Cambrian Homecare, and have been here for about 3 years. If you allow me the chance to work with your kids, you have my word that I will keep them safe! As well as treating them with respect and care.
