Growing up, I always dreamed about living in New York City, but I never knew how to make that dream come true. When I found Southern Grace Nannies, I knew I had to apply. Southern Grace Nannies provided me with the greatest life experience. Throughout my time as a nanny, I fell in love with the most amazing family, made new life-long friends, and had the opportunity to live somewhere I may not have had the chance to otherwise. The family I was paired with immediately became a second family to me and I felt so loved and valued while working for them. I enjoyed the summer with my family so much that I came back for another one the next year. If I could nanny for them every summer I would! The two boys I nannied have such a special place in my heart and I know that I will always have a second family in New York City. Not only was the family fantastic, the new friendships I created enhanced the experience all the more. While working in New York City, I was able to meet up with other nannies through Southern Grace and we explored the city, ate at amazing restaurants, and shopped together. During my time on Nantucket, I became friends with many different people that I met around town and through working. The opportunity to nanny for such an amazing family, make great connections, and live in New York City and on Nantucket was an experience that I will cherish forever. My advice to anyone thinking about being a nanny for Southern Grace Nannies is to do it! The process my seem scary, but Madison and the families make it such an easy, comfortable, and incredible experience.

Living in New York has been my dream since I was 13, and coincidentally 13 was also my age when I began babysitting. Fast forward to college; I knew it was time to move from being a summer nanny in Arkansas to becoming a nanny on the East Coast. I have worked with two amazing families in my time as a Southern Grace Nanny. I spent the first summer in Connecticut, Nantucket, and New Hampshire. I was able to explore places I would not typically get to visit. I joined the next family during the summer of covid lockdown, and we spent the entire summer on Long Island. Despite being in the beginning of the pandemic, our time together was almost magical. I came back the following year after college graduation and I have been with them in New York City ever since! My nanny family feels like my second family, and getting to live in the heart of New York City is a dream come true. Being a Southern Grace Nanny has also given me the opportunity to develop real world skills like budgeting, time management, and a strong sense of independence. I have had the best time as a nanny, and would encourage anyone who wants to go on a new adventure to consider Southern Grace Nannies.
