Hi! I’m Chanel, and I’m so glad you’re considering me to care for your little ones.I’m 23 years old with a background in military law enforcement, which has helped me become incredibly dependable, calm under pressure, and attentive to safety—all traits that naturally carry over into the way I care for children. I’m also CPR certified and have plenty of hands-on experience babysitting for friends, family, and families in my community.Outside of babysitting, I volunteer in my church’s children’s ministry, where I help lead activities, provide care, and create a joyful, secure environment for kids to learn and grow. I truly adore working with children and love being a steady, encouraging presence in their lives. Whether it’s playtime, storytime, or helping with routines, I bring patience, warmth, and a lot of heart into everything I do.I know how much trust it takes to leave your child with someone, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to make you feel at ease while giving your child a safe, happy, and nurturing experience every time we’re together.

I am a proud mother of two wonderful teenagers—a son preparing to join the Navy and a daughter who is currently a high school junior working on her college credits. Motherhood has given me years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, from infants and toddlers to pre-teens and teens. I have over 4 years of Nanny experience ages from 0 months to teenage years. What I Offer I provide loving, attentive care while keeping the household running smoothly. My responsibilities include: • Light housekeeping and nutritious meal preparation • Running errands and keeping things organized • Naptime and bedtime routines • Playtime, outdoor activities, and hands-on learning • Educational activities, story time, and arts & crafts • Feeding, diapering, potty training, and bath time • Creating healthy meal ideas the whole family can enjoy Families describe me as patient, dependable, and nurturing. I’m proud of being professional and easy to communicate with, and I always make it a priority to ensure children feel safe, cared for, and happy. Additional Experience Alongside nannying, I work as a Case Manager at a mental health clinic, where about 40% of my clients are children, including those with special needs. In this role, I assist families with casework and guide children through calming, therapeutic activities such as yoga, breathing exercises, relaxation techniques, and art therapy. This has given me a unique ability to support children not only in their daily routines, but also in their emotional growth and development. Why I Love This Work I truly love working with kids—it brings me joy to watch them learn, grow, and thrive. With my background as both a mother and a professional caregiver, I bring compassion, patience, and dedication to every child I work with. Now that I work remotely, I have more flexibility and am excited to continue caring for children and supporting families. Thank you so much for your time and consideration—I look forward to the opportunity to connect with your family!
