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 an outdoors enthusiast with a love for staying active and playing sports. My favorite place to be is in or on the water!! Whether that’s a pool, beach or a cool river. I have many hobbies, so I am always entertaining myself. I have two dogs who keep me company on all my adventures. I’m excited to bring my love for nature, activity, and fun into my nanny work.

"Heather is an amazing child whisperer! She was the preschool teacher for both of my children and has occasionally babysat. She is the incredibly mix of sweet and loving with boundaries that make a child care provider so great."
