Booked by 4 families in Waxhaw, NC

Hii! I'm Ariyanna, a 19-year-old college student with a very big heart for all families. I have 5 years experience.In the past I've worked at an amazing In-home care facility as well as nanny for previous families on other care platforms , where I was blessed to learn the importance of safety, patience for all, and the art of creating a loving, calm and peaceful environment. I am currently in college at YTC earning my CNA certification and am excited to work toward my dream of one day working in a pediatric hospital. I have had the pleasure of caring for 2 different families so far, including one with an adorable 1 year old and another with a very cool set of twins. These amazing families helped me gain hands-on Nanny experience with different ages, routines, and personalities. I love creating a fun, positive and safe atmosphere. Whether that means playtime, helping with daily routines, or simply being a comforting presence to your families. I am very responsible, attentive, and gentle. I always care for all children, elderly people and pets with kindness and respect. Families can feel confident knowing their littles ones, pets, and family members are in safe, happy hands with me:)

Hi! I’m Vanessa, a mom and experienced healthcare professional who genuinely enjoys spending time with children and helping families feel confident that their little ones are in caring, capable hands. As a mom myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your child. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and safety-conscious, while still making sure kids have fun and feel comfortable with me. Professionally, I’m a registered nurse with extensive healthcare experience. My background has taught me to stay calm under pressure, communicate clearly, pay close attention to a child’s needs, and take safety seriously. I’m especially comfortable caring for babies and young children and understand the routines that come with them—from bottles, meals, diapers, naps, and bedtime to playtime and keeping little ones engaged. A Little More About Me • Mom with firsthand infant and child-care experience • Registered nurse and board-certified nurse practitioner • Patient, nurturing, responsible, and dependable • Comfortable with infants and young children • Attentive to parents’ routines and preferences • Comfortable with feeding, diapering, naps, bedtime, and age-appropriate play • Calm and confident in unexpected situations • Non-smoker I know that inviting someone into your home to care for your child is a big decision. My goal is to make things easier for parents while providing the same kind of attentive, thoughtful care I would want for my own family. I’d love to learn more about your family and what you’re looking for in a caregiver!
