Hi! I'm a CPR/First Aid certified mom of three (two grown), with years of experience as both a nanny and early childhood educator. I've lived in Hixson for 17yr. I nanny a wonderful baby girl, Tues-Thurs. My Mon/Fri contract has concluded & I am looking for a new family to fill Fri-Mon.I'm reliable, a non-smoker, have my own transportation, and can help with cooking, light housekeeping, and pet care.I specialize in newborns, toddlers, potty training, and kids with special needs-and especially love caring for little ones under 2, though I enjoy working with all ages.I believe one fully engaged caregiver is worth more than several distracted ones. Limited screen time (according to parent pref), just quality interaction. I plan fun, age-appropriate indoor/outdoor activities that support learning and development.I treat each child with the same care and intention I'd want for my own. Value connection, safety, and play? Please reach out.Looking forward to meeting you!

I have prior nannying experiences and have taken care of children of all abilities, especially during my time at Victory Junction, a camp for children with chronic conditions. After graduating from Cornell University, I started medical school in the Triangle Area. My hours are flexible, and I possess the knowledge and skills to ensure a safe, healthy, and stimulating environment for your children. I strive to create a friendly and nurturing atmosphere where children can thrive and develop. I understand that each child is unique, so I am dedicated to meeting your individual childcare requirements.

Hi everyone! I’m Sofia Figueroa. I am a rising sophomore at Cornell University, and I'm looking for weekend and evening (after 5 PM) babysitting opportunities! I’ve been babysitting and nannying since I was 14, and I have extensive experience with kids in the 6–12 age range. In the summer of 2024, I worked as an art summer camp counselor, which gave me incredible experience managing groups of kids, leading creative activities, and serving as a positive role model. This summer, I’m spending my weekdays nannying for an amazing family with two daughters and a dog, and I’m looking to fill my weekends and free evenings with some extra sitting. I love staying active and engaged with the kids I care for. In high school, I played basketball and lacrosse, so I’m always down to head outside and play sports, but I also love a good board game night or craft project. On the academic and practical side, I'm happy to help out with any homework, I’m a safe driver, and I'm a great cook, so I'm always ready to help with dinner or activity drop-offs. If you’re looking for a reliable, energetic, and experienced sitter for date nights or weekend plans, I’d love to connect!

Hi I’m Nandi, a senior undergraduate studying neurobiology and astrophysics! My main childcare experiences have been as an oral surgical assistant in the summer months. And Special Olympics Washington DC where I had the incredible opportunity to support, teach, organize competitions for both youth and adults with mental or physical special needs. Both experiences have required creating engaging activities tailored to the unique needs of an individual while promoting overall health, physical and mental wellbeing. Alongside childcare I hope to make a meaningful impact in the academic lives of young learners by encouraging and assisting their exploration of math, science, reading and writing!
