Hayden
Hey! I'm Hayden, and I have a ton of experience working with and caring for kids. I've worked as a swim instructor teaching children ages 5 and up, so I'm very comfortable keeping kids engaged, safe, and having a great time. Beyond the pool, I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids, whether that's helping with activities, being a responsible and attentive caregiver, or just being a fun and positive presence. I'm patient, energetic, and parents can feel confident knowing their little ones are in good hands!

Jenna
Hi! I have nanny experience caring for children ages 1 and 4, and I’m comfortable with toddlers and preschool-age kids. I help with daily routines like meals, naps, and bedtime, along with light meal prep and keeping play areas tidy. I enjoy outdoor and nature play, arts and crafts, reading, and imaginative play, and I prefer to keep screen time minimal. I’m patient, attentive, organized, and good with keeping a consistent routine.

Nishi
I've always enjoyed being around kids and have had quite a bit experience caring for them. In highschool, I took an Early Childhood Education class where I got hands on-experience working with preschoolers. I've also babysat my younger brother and cousins, so I'm comfortable keeping your kids entertained, helping with routines, and making sure they're safe and having a good time. I'm also BLS certified and have my Nursing Assistant Certification, so I'm trained in saftey and know how to stay calm and handle different situations. I'm a responsible, patient, and caring person, and I'd love the opportunity to help out.
