Hi, I'm Payten! I've been a professional nanny for 7 years, and over that time this work has become more than a job. I take real pride in being a trusted, steady presence in a family's life. I've cared for children of all ages, from infants through teens, including multiple siblings and children with special needs. My role often extends beyond childcare to managing a household's daily rhythm: school drop-off and pickup, meal prep, laundry, errands, and keeping things organized so parents can focus with peace of mind. I also enjoy planning activities, taking kids on outings, helping with homework, and providing the consistency that helps children feel secure. I'm looking for a family seeking a long-term nanny relationship, someone who can grow with your children and become a dependable part of their routine over the years. I'd love to talk about your family's needs and see if we're a good fit. I'm CPR/First Aid certified, fully vaccinated, and comfortable in homes with small pets.
Payten served as both our nanny and house manager, demonstrating professionalism and dedication. Her household management included preparing nutritious meals, maintaining living spaces, and handling all aspects of home organization with remarkable efficiency. She repeatedly demonstrated her ability to coordinate service providers, manage logistics, and resolve maintenance issues. Most notably, she played an instrumental role in facilitating our family's move, managing everything from packing to property preparation. In her childcare role, Payten fostered meaningful connections with our children while maintaining consistent routines and supporting their developmental needs. Her trustworthiness, reliability, and genuine commitment to our family's well-being made her an invaluable part of our household. We wholeheartedly recommend Payten for any family seeking a dedicated professional who can manage both childcare and household responsibilities with extreme care.
