Hi! Carley here. I am an experienced nanny with a love for children. They truly are my favorite people to be around and build relationships with. I have a social work degree but have worked in various jobs since college, not limited to that field. Most of those jobs have involved interacting with children, but I discovered that for me nannying tapped into something that runs even deeper than a love for children, and that is a love for family. I am not yet a parent myself, but many of my friends are. You could ask any of them, and they would tell you that when I'm at their house, nine times out of ten you can find me wherever their children are. It’s my joy to be “Aunt Carley.” To me it is a high honor to earn the attachment and trust of a child, to cultivate a loving, Read more reliable bond such that they expect when I walk in the room I am happy to see them and to be in their presence. As a nanny I aim to provide consistency of care in meeting basic needs, and a warmth of spirit that holds space for children to be themselves, to learn and grow, to have fun exploring life, and to develop healthy character. It would be my priority to do all of this in a way that follows the leadership, discipline, and style of their parents. My most concentrated childcare experience came a few years ago when I worked what ended up being three full years for a private family with three children. I was primarily responsible for their youngest two, twin boy and girl, from ages 10 months until 4 years. But I also got to develop a relationship with their oldest child (from age 4 until 8) who has special needs. I was overjoyed to find that we all grew a bond that feels like family to this day, and we still keep in close touch. My greatest takeaway from that job was realizing the immense value and beauty of trust - I was so honored that their parents entrusted me with caring for their greatest possession, which gave me the privilege of building a special bond with their children, always built first and foremost on trust. I do not take lightly at all the privilege of being woven into the fabric of a family in that way. A few things more to know about me: I am an "extroverted introvert,” a generally creative person who loves music and singing, I enjoy spending time outside in nature, and I love books and sharing the joy of reading with children.

Trust & safety
