Hello! I'm 23 years old and currently looking for a new nanny position. I was previously nannying for two boys, ages 10 and 12, but their family no longer needs a nanny since their mom will no longer be working.I have 4 years of professional childcare experience, and I've also been caring for my nephews, cousins, and friends' little ones for as long as I can remember. I'm currently in college majoring in Early Childhood Education, and working with children has always been something I truly love and enjoy.I'm happy to help with transportation, cooking/meal prep, light housekeeping, and any additional tasks your family may need. With my experience, patience, and dedication, I strive to provide a safe, caring, and supportive environment where children feel comfortable and valued.I would love the opportunity to support a family and become a reliable part of their children's lives!

Hi! My name is Ava, and I’m a nursing student pursuing a career in pediatric nursing. I’m passionate about working with children and creating a safe, fun, and positive environment where they feel comfortable and cared for. I have hands-on pediatric experience through my student nurse internship on a pediatric unit, where I worked alongside nurses caring for infants, children, and adolescents. This experience strengthened my ability to communicate with kids of all ages, stay calm in unexpected situations, and provide compassionate care while supporting families. In addition to my nursing experience, I have several years of childcare experience caring for children of different ages. I also taught dance for 10 years, which gave me the opportunity to mentor and encourage kids while helping them build confidence, learn new skills, and have fun. Teaching dance taught me patience, creativity, and how to connect with each child based on their unique personality and needs. Parents can count on me to be responsible, dependable, and attentive. Whether we're playing games, helping with homework, reading stories, or sticking to bedtime routines, I always strive to make children feel safe, engaged, and happy. My healthcare training also means I'm comfortable handling emergencies, following routines carefully, and prioritizing your child's well-being at all times.

Hi! My name is Yaritza, and I have approximately eight years of experience working with children of all ages. My journey in early childhood education began during my sophomore year of high school, and since then I have developed a strong passion for helping children learn, grow, and thrive in safe and nurturing environments. I have experience caring for children from as young as six weeks old through 12 years of age. Over the years, I have babysat for local families and worked professionally in childcare settings. I served as a Lead Teacher in a daycare center for over three years, where I planned age-appropriate activities, supported children's social-emotional development, maintained a safe classroom environment, and partnered closely with families to support each child's success. In addition to my childcare experience, I have worked in elementary school settings through clinical placements and educational experiences. I also hold a Substitute Teaching License, which has allowed me to work with children in classroom environments and support students with diverse learning needs. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood and Elementary Education with ESL and Bilingual endorsements. As a bilingual English and Spanish speaker, I enjoy supporting children and families from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds. I am CPR and First Aid certified, giving families added peace of mind that their children are in safe and capable hands. I am known for being patient, reliable, organized, and engaging. Whether it's helping with homework, creating fun learning activities, assisting with daily routines, preparing meals, or simply providing a caring and supportive environment, I strive to make every child feel valued, safe, and encouraged.

Hello my name is Zucely. I am 22 years old. I am a very gentle, kind, responsible and caring person. I love going on walks and listening to music. I graduated college with my associates in early childhood. I’ve worked in a day care named bright horizons for a year with various ages from babies to 5 years olds which I loved. I was an assistant teacher in a toddler classroom for 6 months which I absouloutely loved as they are very curious and love exploring during this age. I also worked with families in their houses and babysat for their children mostly ages from 3-5 years old. I love doing hands-on activities with children and having them be active. My goal is to care for them and have them thrive with hands on learning activities and be a responsible and loving person towards them.

I have always been surrounded by children, as my mom owns an in-home daycare. I have volunteered in my church’s kids ministry every other month and have 4 years of experience teaching preschool through a once-a-week program at my church. I also spent one summer babysitting 3 children and have watched the same little girl for the past 3 school years, from when she was 4 until she turned 6. I currently have a 6-month-old of my own, so I have plenty of hands-on experience caring for little ones. I’m looking to provide childcare and earn a little extra income while doing something I genuinely enjoy. I love working with children and creating a safe, fun, and caring environment for them.
