I am excited for any oppurtunity to nanny/take care of children! I am patient, engaging, kind, and optimistic. I am passionate about making sure that children feel cared for and that they're not just sitting around with someone who is only there to watch them. I am currently working towards my masters in clinical counseling at Charleston Southern University, and I know from study and experience that the early years of life are the most important. I am great with pets and am willing to help with them if needed.
I moved to Charleston last fall from DC where I earned my doctorate from George Washington University. I work full time as a physical therapist in an outpatient orthopedic clinic in West Ashley and I live in Mount Pleasant. I have 15+ years of babysitting experience in addition to 5 summers as a camp counselor. I have cared for children ranging in age from 10 weeks to teenagers. I am also CPR certified.
Hey everyone! My name is Sarah and I am a freshman at the College of Charleston. I have been babysitting for 7 years and I was a part-time nanny for the past 2 summers. I am a responsible and fun babysitter and I will care for your children like they are my own. I also have experience with animals as I was a veterinarian technician assitant for 1 year.
Hello! I am 18 years old who has 4 years of experience in Church Nursery Care (ages 2-3), Kid's Church Care (ages 5-13) and experience as a personal family nanny for 3 little ones (ages 2, 4, and 6). I picked the 3 littles up from school, played indoor and outdoors, prepared after school snacks, and more. Family is available to provide a reference if desired. I have 2.5 years of experience in direct public customer service as an over the counter clerk. I have graduated with my Associates of Science at York Technical College and I'm on track to become a pediatric Nurse practitioner!
I am a 62 year young, recently widowed, grandmother of two, mother of three grown sons. I have been caring for children since my twin sisters were born in 1968. I am especially good with newborns, and new mothers. I have taught preschool, Sunday School, and am from Charleston and know the area. I drive to you…have a late model car that can accommodate 3 littles in the back and one 12+ in the front. I can sit for out of town visitors in hotels and resorts, can help new moms at home, I can cook, run errands, and run the house if necessary. I like to take children out and about, and keep them busy. I can provide references from parents, physicians, clergy, and other professionals. I do work some during the day and am not looking for a full time Nanny job, but my hours are flexible. I am familiar with both Moms on Call and attachment parenting. Pet care is negotiable, senior care is negotiable, overnight care is flexible. Call me.
