I’m a newly married, active, and family‑oriented caregiver who recently moved to the Franklin area. I love sewing, baking, staying active, and being involved in my church community. I’ve always dreamed of having a big family of my own one day, and caring for children has always come naturally to me. I have experience nannying full‑time for a family with a 10‑month‑old, 3‑year‑old, and 5‑year‑old, as well as providing occasional care for another family with a 4‑ and 6‑year‑old. I also spent two years volunteering at a daycare in my hometown, served in children’s ministry with preschoolers, and gained meaningful experience working with autistic children ages 1–6. Across every role, I focus on creating a safe, nurturing, and joyful environment where kids feel supported, engaged, and cared for and where parents feel confident and at ease.

Specialized Care: Autism, Developmental Challenges

Hello! I’m 21 years old. I’m sweet, kind, caring, polite, and respectful. I can be flexible around anyone. I follow the set rules given to me and the child/ren. I’ve looked over children since I was 10 due to growing up in a huge and still growing family. I have experience with infants, toddlers, young children, and preteens now.

Hi! My name is Natalie P, and I am 21 years old. I’m currently a student at Drake University, pursuing my undergraduate degree in Strategic Political Communication with plans to attend law school after graduation. I also study Music, Law and Business, and Spanish, areas that reflect my wide range of interests and help me connect with people in meaningful and creative ways. I’ve always loved building strong relationships with others, which is part of what draws me to both law and working with children. I come from a big family with four siblings, so I’ve been around kids my whole life, and I’ve been caring for kids since my second year of high school, when I started babysitting for family friends. That early experience taught me a lot about patience, creativity, and responsibility, skills I continue to carry with me in all areas of life. This year studied abroad in Spain, which was an incredible opportunity to experience new cultures, practice my Spanish, and grow more independent and open-minded. During my time abroad, I also had the amazing opportunity to help tutor English to some children. When I’m not studying or working, I enjoy learning new instruments and languages, spending time in nature, and making memories with friends and family. People often describe me as creative and fun, respectful and caring, and dependable and tidy. Whether I’m mentoring younger students, working a campus job, or spending time with kids, I bring a lot of energy and genuine care to everything I do. I’m excited to bring those same values into your home, and I’d love the chance to get to know your family!
