Hi there! My name is Makayla and I'm currently a nanny for a wonderful 16 month old and I'm looking to add another family to work with. With 7 years of childcare experience, I am a warm, dependable, and experienced childcare professional with many years of experience caring for infants and young children. I truly enjoy working with babies and take pride in providing attentive, nurturing, and individualized care throughout each stage of their development. I am comfortable managing infant routines including feeding, diapering, naps, soothing, tummy time, age-appropriate play, and maintaining a safe and stimulating environment. I understand how important consistency and communication are for both babies and their parents, and I make it a priority to keep parents informed while respecting their preferences and routines. My goal as a nanny is to provide the highest level of care while helping each child feel safe, loved, and supported as they grow and reach new milestones. I am reliable, patient, organized, and someone families can feel completely comfortable trusting with their little one. I am more than happy to provide references and answer any question you may have!

Hi! My name is Laurel and I am a recent nursing grad! I have 7 years of paid babysitting experience and have been a part time nanny for my current family for 2.5 years. I have a passion for working with children and am hoping to work in the pediatric ICU or NICU. I am CPR and BLS certified as well as infant safe sleep trained and have experience with medically complex children as well. I'm waiting to take my NCLEX and looking to pick up extra jobs when I'm not with my other family. I also have a clean driving record and lots of references if needed!

Hi! My name is Nina! I’m a CNA and current nursing student with a special love for working with babies and children. Through nursing school, I’ve completed both OB/mother-baby and pediatric nursing and have had hands-on clinical experience caring for newborns and infants on a postpartum/mother-baby unit, as well as children of different ages in both a pediatric unit and the PICU.Outside of my clinical experience, I also have personal babysitting experience caring for a family friend’s child as a toddler and again as she’s gotten older. I’m comfortable with feeding, diaper changes, naps and bedtime routines, playtime, age-appropriate activities, and following the routines and preferences that parents already have in place.My nursing education has also given me a strong understanding of child development, age-appropriate care, safety, and recognizing when something may be wrong. I’m BLS/CPR certified with training that includes both adult and pediatric resuscitation.I’m very caring, patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy being around children—especially babies! I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your child, so I’m big on communication and following each family’s individual preferences and routines.

I have always loved working with children and helping them learn and grow. In 2018, while attending college, I worked part-time as a kindergarten classroom assistant. After graduating, I worked in banking before deciding to return to my passion for education. During that time, I was also actively involved in my local church's Sunday School program. During the 2024–2025 school year, I worked as a substitute teacher for Lakeland Public Schools. I then joined Christian Life Academy, where I taught during the 2025–2026 school year before relocating to Jackson, Tennessee.
