About Hayley

Hello! My name is Hayley and I have been a paid babysitter/nanny since I was 10! My parents thought getting experience early was key, so they threw me in a room with kids only a few years younger than me and said, "good luck!" Little did I know in that moment, that I would absolutely fall in love when it comes to caring for children. Since then I have set myself up to gain as much experience with kids as I possibly could. I volunteered at my local library's children's section and I volunteered in my town's Safety Town. Through those outlets I met parents and became a 'Mother's Helper' throughout middle school. Once I got to highschool I enrolled in a laboratory preschool class where I was taught child development and given the opportunity to demonstrate my lessons by working in the school's preschool classroom. When I entered college I continued babysitting and working in daycare settings while obtaining my Associate's of Science degree in Early Childhood Education. I transferred to a 4 year university and earned my Bachelor's of Art degree in Family and Child Studies. After graduating, I got a full time nanny job and kept that job for 2 years until I moved to across the country in 2020. Since then I have been working with children with disabilities as a Behavioral Interventionist at a Developmental Disabilities Agency (DDA). My husband and I plan on relocating to the Nashville area Summer of 2024 where I can pick up my passion for nannying once again.
