Hi my name is Jada! I am a fun, creative, responsible nanny with over 6 years hands on experience caring for children from infants through school age. I enjoy planning out different activities for children to do that are fun, and incorporate learning at the same time. My approach encourages curiosity & creativity without relying on screen time. I love nature walks, reading books and arts and crafts to keep children’s brain active and bodies moving. Watching kids is more than just a job to me. It’s a calling.

"Lisseth has worked for us over the past year helping with our 2 1/2 year-old son. She is extremely reliable, punctual, and responsible. We trust her absolutely. She is an extremely careful driver, having to navigate rush hour traffic across the city with our son in the car everyday. With our son she is loving yet she enforces all the rules and boundaries we have set for him.
Being a parent herself, Lisseth’s experience has been an asset to us and our son because she is experienced in dealing with a lot of the ups and downs of raising a toddler.
She is easy to communicate with, flexible and a pleasure to have around the house. We recommend her highly and are happy to talk to you specifically if there are more questions."
