CHILDCARE/ NANNY/ HOUSEKEEPING
My name is Ellen Little, I am a 24 year old part time college student living in East Memphis. I have 11 years of childcare experience. I also have experience with many other domestic jobs, such as cleaning, cooking, and helping moms get and stay more organized. I have had many years of experience with children of all ages, from newborns to 15 year olds, and have loved doing it. I am also a mother of a 2 year old, which has given me even more insight on caring for children. I love working with families, I am great with kids of all ages, trustworthy, reliable, responsible, fun, and energetic.
My previous job was with a family that I worked with for 2 ½ years, babysitting their children during their work hours over summer break, picking them up from school, driving them to after school activities, helping with homework, and fixing snacks and sometimes dinner for them. They had to let me go this past October due to the father losing his job, causing them to no longer be able to afford help with their 3 kids.

Ellen, I need a sitter for my 3 kids 8-5 may 1st-3rd. Is this something you could do? My sitter is out of town
Please contact In a Pinch for any sitting, nanny, night nurse, cleaning needs. We have a very good reputation in the Memphis area and I would love to discuss how the company works with you!!
Hi East Memphis Moms! I’m Alexa, a 24-year-old nanny currently in search of a long-term nanny position, particularly one with around 25-35 hours per week, to start in the next few months. I’m also looking for as-needed, temporary, or occasional child care positions to begin immediately.
I have been caring for children since my early teens, and eventually secured two consecutive long-term, full-time nanny positions. After pressure to get a “real job,” I worked in the restaurant industry for a looong four years. I finally realized why I was so unhappy and decided to return to the most fulfilling job of all!
I have the most experience with children 18 months – 5 years, but am happy to care for other ages as well. I can care for up to three children at a time, possibly more if they are older. I am able to help with homework, prepare healthy meals and snacks, care for pets, and do some light housekeeping.
I have an intense interest in child development, child psychology, education, and alternative child-rearing and teaching methods such as attachment/peaceful parenting, unschooling/unstructured homeschooling, and Montessori education. I love interjecting education into play, and making learning fun and exciting. I believe each child is different, so I will follow his or her interests and needs. Depending on the child, we’ll read books, practice writing, draw and color pictures, practice the alphabet and counting, play games, sing and dance, solve puzzles and riddles, play dress-up, build and make things, make craft and art projects, take nature walks, learn about animals and nature and different cultures and everything else your little ones are interested in. We’ll listen to traditional music from other cultures, world-renowned composers, and some modern music, and sometimes watch quality Youtube videos about sand art, or tribal dancing, or Ancient Egypt, or, my favorite, time-lapsed oil painting from start to finish. I would also love to take the children on occasional outings to the park, the library, museums, or the zoo, or on scheduled playdates.
I am currently a part-time nanny for a 23-month-old and a 3-year-old, both boys. I absolutely love caring for and spending time with these kids, and will be staying at this position for as long as they need me, so your schedule would have to mesh well with theirs. I have some flexibility though, so feel free to contact me to see if we can figure something out.
If you think I could be a good match for you and would like to discuss a possible position, or if you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact me anytime at alexathenanny@gmail.com. References available upon request.
Oh, and please feel free to check out my Facebook page, The Magical Midtown Nanny, to find out more about me, my interests, and some of my daily life as a nanny to two crazy, wonderful boys!
