A little bit about me
Hey there! My name is Nick! I'm not your typical nanny - but I love kids and I know I would be a great fit for your family! Plus I'm an Eagle Scout and first aid trained, and I'm also a baker - who doesn't like cake!? (:
I’m really looking to grow with a family and be a permanent fixture in a child’s life, the jobs I’ve had have been so fulfilling and I can’t wait to make this my full career and devote all my time and energy into taking care of your child.

"Nick was always on time, polite and curteous. He was very responsible ensuring my three boys got off of the bus safely every day. He was very active with the boys and was always playing games, sports, and other activities with them. He was very timely with responding to requests throughout the day and flexible for our changing schedules. He built a great relationship with our boys and they really enjoyed having him as a caregiver."

I enjoy perusing gardens, trails, and museums as well. I love to travel, camp, and be creative. My favorite hobby at the moment is cooking new cuisines.

"Lulu had great work ethic, positive energy, was promt and adored by our children. She was a babysitter to our two girls who were then 6 months and 4 years old and our son 6 years old. She worked part time for us when my wife and I were away for work. We were sorry to see her go when she moved cities but we highly recommend her as a sitter/Nanny."

A little bit about me
I'm Trina! With 11 years of experience in babysitting and 7 years as a full-time nanny, I have developed a profound understanding and love for this profession. I'm 25 and have worked with children of all ages, which has greatly enriched my life and the lives of the families I have worked with. My approach to childcare is one that encompasses kindness, love and reliability. I strive to create a nurturing environment that encourages children to grow, explore, and express themselves creatively. Each childcare experience is an opportunity to discover new aspects of child development and education. This outlook has not only allowed me to provide better care but has also instilled a sense of curiosity and adventure in the children I work with. I'd describe my personality as loving, fun, and resilient. In my spare time, I like to spend time with my friends and travel! I love cooking, art, music, and spending time outdoors as much as possible. I'm always down for an adventure, planned or not!

"Trina was an amazing nanny to my son! Not only was she super proactive and a self starter, but she was also extremely kind and caring with my son. She taught him a lot of things before he started daycare which genuinely gave him such a head start already. Trina cares so deeply about the kids she works with and has been such a life saver in my husband and I’s lives. She’s become family. We have appreciated our time with such an important and amazing person that we feel lucky to have been able to have with us!"

"Gwendolyn was very considerate of my preferences, ensuring to follow through on how I wanted things done for my son. She was quick to respond to texts I sent throughout the day, always responding positively and kindly. She gave thorough updates at the end of the day on how my sons day went. She confidently watched two 1 year olds (nanny share) simultaneously, and did not get overwhelmed by my sons separation anxiety and crying. She has good communication skills, conveying in advance any schedule needs or changes."
