Hi! My name is Cassey. I’ve been supporting little ones along their developmental journey for almost seven years through two full-time nanny positions, along with experience as a lead 2’s teacher. I’m currently with one of my nanny families going on our fourth year together, and while I remain committed to them, I’m looking to pick up some additional part-time hours while their kiddo is in school. They are fully supportive and flexible with my schedule, and they would be more than happy to be contacted as a reference. I'm hoping to find some day time hours between 9:30am and 5pm one or multiple days a week. I’m also enrolled in online classes pursuing a degree in Social Work. My dream is to work with children in the foster care system—helping them find loving, safe homes and being a warm, steady, positive presence in their lives.
Hi! I’m Saelish. I have experience working with children through Primrose and also babysitting for several families. I’m very reliable with routines like daycare pick-ups and always focus on making things feel calm, easy, and consistent for your child. I’m naturally attentive and patient, and I like to make sure kids feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while also keeping parents in the loop. I’d love to help support your family and make your day-to-day a little smoother!
