Find nannies in Violet, LA

I am the eldest daughter in a large family including 5 children, Mom, Grandparents and Great Grandparents! I began baby sitting outside the house as a teenager and continued to work as a Nanny or Au pair through my twenties. In my 30's I began co parenting with my siblings and watching everyone's kids. I am a trained art teacher and have taught art to up to 30 children at a time all through my life. More recently I work as an art teacher for Art Klub and Camp 504. I am a playful, creative, compassionate care taker of all creatures young, old and furry.

From a young age, I’ve always been surrounded by little ones — I’m a proud middle child of 11 siblings, so caring for babies and children of all ages truly comes naturally to me. Growing up in a big family taught me patience, responsibility, and how to create a calm, structured environment even on the busiest days. I have two years of professional childcare experience, in addition to a lifetime of caring for infants, toddlers, and pre-teens within my own family. I am completely comfortable caring for newborns, and I can confidently handle up to three children at a time. I am BLS, CPR, and First Aid certified, have a college degree, and I’m experienced with homework help, light cleaning, cooking kid-friendly meals, and maintaining routines. My approach is patient, warm, and nurturing, but also organized — I like to keep things running smoothly so parents come home to a peaceful environment. I enjoy planning engaging activities such as outdoor play, board games, educational games, and creative projects. I’m happy to follow your household rules and adapt to your family’s preferences. I provide clear communication, including written daily notes if you’d like, and I’m flexible with whatever method parents prefer (text updates, check-ins, etc.). I have my own car, a clean driving record, and I am comfortable with pets. Above all, my goal is to make sure your children feel safe, happy, and genuinely cared for. I would love the opportunity to support your family and become someone your children feel excited to see.

I am a reliable and an experienced child care provider. I have obtained an Elementary Education B.S. degree at the University of New Orleans, served as a teacher, and have a wealth of training in babysitting. I have raised four children and also have enjoyed working with all ages of children in various community events and tutoring. I am patient and motivated. I strive to help facilitate a positive environment for families. Animals are also special to me. I have a love for children and also like to play fun games to make them laugh. Please know that I can help tidy up while helping the family as a nanny or sitter, as well. :)
