Miles F.

Miles is a treasure. If we could afford to hire him as a full-time nanny we would in a heartbeat. Our 10mo old boy loves him and lights up when he comes in the house. My husband does work from home consulting part-time so we’ve been lucky enough to have Miles give him a break to get some work doneduring daytime hours. Miles makes sure our son gets to play outside, gets his proper naps and meals while keeping up with him in active play the rest of the time. And when our son is napping, Miles has even helped out with dishes and such to make use of the time! He doesn’t just watch TV with our son, Miles keeps him moving and engaged, from exploring in the yard to taking him on walks in his radio flyer around the neighborhood to reading books and playing with non-electronic toys. If you can snag Miles, do it!…

Seeking Full-time Or Part Time Nanny Job

Background Check

Working with children is the greatest honor in the world. For the past 15 years, I have been working hard to maintain a successful career in childcare. I currently work full-time with infants at the JCC of Buffalo in their Early Childhood Center which I love very much. I’m looking to reduce my hoursat the JCC to part-time and work for a family part-time so that I can have a bit of both the nanny world and the daycare world. I love working in the classroom and I also love working directly with families as a nanny so if I could do both I would love that. I am very classroom oriented so I’m looking for families who want their children to have fun, educational activities and a nice rhythm throughout the day! Send me a message if you’re interested in learning more about me. I take childcare very seriously and always go above and beyond! I am most experienced with ages 6 months to 3 years old. Thank you!…

Bilingual Nanny Looking For A Part-Time WEEKEND Position

Background Check

Who am I?
My name is Migdalia and I am currently 35 years old. Childcare has been my passion since I was a young child and I’ve been working with children for over 10+ years.
My Experience:
I’ve been working with children since I was in high school. I’ve worked in daycares and women shelters inNYC and when I moved to North Carolina 7 years ago I worked in the daycare system before transitioning in to private nanny. I have experience in: Cloth diapering, pace feeding, sleep training, meal prep, playground safety, multiple children, potty training, etc.
Why Switch from Lead teaching to being a Nanny?
Although I loved Lead Teaching with multiple children, I loved the direct care of individual children more. I loved being able to work one on one with 1 child or 2 children closely. I love being able to proactively work independently with a child on his or her specific milestones vs. being spread thin with 5-8 children.

I am a 22-year-old recent graduate from NC State looking for a full-time nanny position. I am enthusiastic about taking care of kids and keeping them engaged and smiling! I have eight years of experience caring for children part-time. I have spent over a year caring for a 2-year-old part-time, but Iam now looking for a full-time position. I worked for over a year at St. Timothy’s school as an after school counselor. I also have experience working with special needs children. Some of the daily activities that I facilitated with these children were outdoor playtime, card and board games, and science experiments such as slime-making. We had science lessons that occurred outdoors to get the children excited about learning. I prepared meals for the children and put the younger children down for naps when appropriate. I enjoy spending time with kids, getting to know them, and learning along side them!…
