I am a nurse and have been working for 6 years. I have worked the longest (and currently work) in primary care which includes children of all ages. Prior to my nursing degree, I was a nanny and caregiver throughout college (4 years), and I babysat in high school too (all ages). I am hoping to offer nanny services on my off days to help save for our own little one in the next year or so :) I love children of all ages and am excited to meet new families!
Responsible, caring, love kids, playful, love to play with kids and cats, can run errands and clean, very organized, years of experience and great references, trustworthy
I grew up in a big family, and from a young age I was able to gain experience in child care. It would later be something that I really enjoy and continue to want to do. I’ve generally worked with toddlers and younger kids but I love kids of all ages. I love taking them outside to play in the sun or creating art indoors. In my free time I like to read, workout, and spend time with family and friends. I mostly have availability during the weekends and some occasional week nights
“My 2.5 yo had a great time with Grace! I would definitely love to have her back!”
I am a 34 year old full time stay at home mom to a 15 month old little girl! She is quite active and loves to play with other kids. If you need sitting during M-F during the day then she will need to come with me! Open to sitting in your home or mine! During the evenings or on weekends, she will NOT be with me! I am currently a nanny twice weekly to a 2 year old little girl! Previously I have worked as a behavior specialist to special needs children for 4 years and worked as a substitute teacher. I have been babysitting for 20+ years and worked as a nanny for 3 months full time as well to two children aged 4 and an infant during that time. I am fully CPR certified. I am raising my daughter bilingual (English and Spanish) and happy to encourage this teaching as well if you like. I focus on hands on learning and playing. Singing, dancing, interactive toys like puzzles and blocks, writing skills, and more. Open to helping with whatever you need whether that is getting them ready for the day, running errands, light household chores, diaper changing and potty training, meal prepping, etc! I am also very comfortable with all types of pets and have a dog myself. I have a degree in neuroscience/human sciences.
“Kye was excellent with my 6 mo anxiety ridden sweet baby. She came to give me a reprieve and let me get some tasks done. She was so gentle with him singing songs and interacting to calm him. Great communicator and on time. I am so impressed I immediately recommended her to my sister and another friend with a similarly aged baby. I feel confident in her and would recommend her to you, too.”
