My name is Karly and I am currently 36 years old. I value integrity, vulnerability, compassion, growth, creativity and autonomy. Currently I am a social worker that specializes in behavioral but will be leaving my role on the county crisis team. I recently went back to school and am in a nursing program now. I plan to nanny for the next 18 months-2 years until I have my BSN and RN license. I have a wide range of experience nannying: Occasional sitting, after-school sitting, regular full-time nanny, and live-in nanny for triplet infants until they were 4 years old. I have numerous years of mixed experiences and families. I would love to share more about the families I have worked with. I am CPR/First Aid trained as well as educated on several therapeutic approaches when caring for children especially if they are escalated. I have worked in childcare centers as well as Children's hospital because I love to volunteer. Keeping active and structured to create positive behavior, I strive for that. I cook, clean and love animals.

Hi! My name is Sophie, and I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable babysitter with over 5 years of paid experience in both babysitting and dog sitting. I’m currently in nursing school, which has strengthened my attention to safety, communication, and caring for others. I’m CPR certified and always prioritize creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for the children I care for. I truly love working with kids and enjoy engaging with them through play, creativity, and everyday routines. I’m patient, attentive, and adaptable to each child’s unique needs and personality. I also come from a big dog household. I have three dogs of my own of all sizes, so I’m very comfortable around pets and happy to help in homes with animals. I have my own reliable car and do not smoke or use any substances, ensuring dependable transportation and a healthy, safe environment for the families I work with. Whether it’s keeping kids entertained, helping with routines, or simply being someone children feel comfortable around, I take pride in being a caregiver families can trust and rely on

The wonderful thing about loving your job is it’s easy to show up with a smile and a positive attitude. I really like working in the care sector and especially enjoy watching children grow, learn and become individuals. I live alone so I have flexibility with my schedule. I do have a cat if you are allergic. I am hoping to focus on childcare for all ages. In the past 14yrs I’ve cared for, and spent time with, children between the ages of 4 and 17, between 1[removed] I had experience with infants and toddlers. My niece and nephews are my greatest joy. One nephew is neurodivergent and my niece is special needs, I only mention this because it taught me patience, healthy coping skills and communication. Practically speaking, what I can offer: 1) I can cook and bake, focusing on vegetable heavy dishes. If you have a craving for spanakopita or NY cheesecake? I can provide. 2) I’m a very safe driver with a reliable car. I haven’t had a car accident or traffic ticket since 1995. I’m more than happy to drive to do errands, pick up groceries, do school pick ups & drop offs and trips to the soccer field. 3) I’m a VERY creative person! I have a ton of arts and crafts supplies that I can bring for everything from watercolors to polymer clay sculpture. I’m also good with stories, silly songs and funny dances. 4) I am happy to help with a little homework (familiar with Montessori teaching practices) playing games, reading nighttime stories and TALKING with children to develop vocabulary and communication. I should mention I’m open to being a support person for child birthday parties or group outings. I’d be thrilled to do elder care and am very respectful, soft spoken when appropriate, and would be just as happy playing cribbage as reading whatever is of interest to my client. I honesty enjoy looking at family photo albums and listening to THEIR stories. I volunteered for 11 years at a care facility painting the ladies nails and reading to male and female clients. Have experience working with clients who have dementia. And finally I can do cat and small dog sitting duties. I have had cats living with me for decades, and few dogs too. I’m very pet friendly. No housecleaning duties other than laundry, dishes, counters and picking up after play time. Hope this inspires you to message and/or meet with me to see if I’m the right fit for you and your family. Have a great day!
