Nanny shares, the best of both worlds

The Sylvester Family
We chose a nanny share because it allowed us to make sure that our child was getting great, individual attention from a person that we could trust while helping us to manage costs. We couldn't afford to have one nanny, and found another family that was in a similar situation and shared our values.

A little bit about me

I’m a retired teacher of K-6th grade students and an aunt to 15 children. I’m one of five kids and the oldest daughter. My three brothers have 6 boys (ages: [phone number hidden]) and my sister has 4 boys (ages: 12, 10, 2, and 9mo) and then they have 3 girls (ages 26, 6, and 4). My sisters-in-laws also have two boys (ages 12 and 10). I have also tutored children of all ages and been a nanny to infants-middle school children over the past 15 years. My husband and I don’t have any kids of our own but simply love the kids we are around like our own. I especially love working with infants and toddlers and teaching them how to play and learn skills they need for life!

A little bit about me

Hello!
I have been a nanny now for 10 years. I have experience with children ages 0-16, a lot with infants. I was previously working for a family with three children (one boy and two girls) for two years a family with twin daughters and a family with one infant. Some of the responsibilities I have had include creating a safe and healthy environment for the baby and children, bottle feeding/ meal prep, help with development milestones, changing and clothing, laundry/light housekeeping, transportation and much more. I am looking to find another great family to give all of the help I can provide. If you are interested, I would love to have an in person or over the phone interview with you.
Thank you,
Monique V

A little bit about me

I recently moved back home after completing my academic and athletic career at Southern Oregon University. Caring for children has been one of my greatest passions for the past 7 years, and I’ve also had the privilege of serving as a Head Coach for elementary school wrestling for 4 years.
I’ve had the opportunity to care for children of all ages, from newborns and infants to teenagers, including caring for multiple children at once. These experiences have taught me the importance of patience, consistency, compassion, and understanding that every child is unique and deserves to feel safe, valued, and supported. I believe in creating a positive, loving environment where children feel comfortable expressing themselves, exploring their interests, building confidence, and growing into the best versions of themselves.
For me, childcare is so much more than a job; it’s an opportunity to make a meaningful difference in a child’s life and become a trusted, supportive presence in their world.
