Hello! I am a new-graduate physician assistant looking for a fun position as a nanny before I start working full time as a PA. I have been babysitting and working with children in different settings, both paid and unpaid, since I was in middle school. Most recently, I nannied for several families on a part-time basis from 2[removed]. I absolutely love working with children and getting to encourage the development of their growing minds! I think my personal emphasis on kindness and hard work are excellent traits for children to look up to and eventually implement into their own lives. This will make them adults who greatly impact society in the future, and I think that is one of the most rewarding aspects of childcare! With my education and prior experience as an EMT, I am extremely comfortable with caring for people with medical conditions and am extensively trained in basic and advanced life support for both children and adults. Therefore, I would be a reliable individual in any emergency situation. Also, I have had some brief experiences with pet sitting and have grown up taking care of dogs of my own. Currently, I have a 1 year old lab-pit bull mix who loves walks and snuggles!
“I am an owner of a Preschool that has been in business for 17 years. Malia worked for me as a teacher and I can vouch that she is amazing with children! She is patient, kind and has tons of energy! She has fun with kids and is also very attentive to their needs. I recommend her to anyone who is looking for reliable and quality child care. You and your kiddos will love her!”

Hello my name is Ruth, born and raised in Florida but Now live in Tennessee. I've always had a big heart for children began babysitting at the age of 15. Today I work in the children's ministry at my church that has helped me obtain more experience to communicate and understand the need of each child. Feel free to ask any questions.
Hi there! I started babysitting when I was a teenager and have continued to take care of kids on and off ever since. I have 2 kiddos(2 and 6) and understand how hard it is to find a daycare/sitter/nanny that you can trust and afford!!! I am CPR certified and work in the daycare at my church on Sundays. I would prefer providing care in my home and would love to invite you over to meet up before any commitment! Hope you find the best fit for your family!
I am a Nanny looking for a part time position 2-3 days a week from 9-2pm (can be flexible on time) rate is $25/hour looking to start ASAP. I am open to Senior care and pet care as well. I have a lifetime treasury of lived in experience when it comes to caretaking. I grew up homeschooled and helped raise and educate my 5 younger siblings. I grew up caretaking for my grandparents who lived with my family for 5 years until they passed. I am a recently single primary parent to a 6 & 8 year old determined to find work to establish financial independence. I believe in regulating, nurturing, and teaching children through play, music, creating art, and time spent in nature. I feel strongly about minimizing screen time and prioritize creating a safe and caring environment for children to express emotions. I have a huge heart and parent/nanny with a loving, empathetic approach. I believe that as a caretaker it is my responsibility to lead by creating boundaries, consistency, and structure in a way that allows the child to maintain a sense of autonomy and express individuality. I prioritize my mental, spiritual, physical health, and inner child healing in order to approach caregiving with a communicative, grounded, loving, and compassionate mindset. I have a holistic approach to caregiving and am very skilled in preparing nourishing meals made primarily with whole foods and minimal processed ingredients. I am clean, organized, active, open minded, creative, communicative, can drive places, and run errands. Let’s connect!!!
