A little bit about me

I have experience caring for children at different times of the day. I am also a bilingual Spanish and English teacher, and I have worked as a language tutor, teaching children English and helping them with homework and learning activities. I can prepare meals, assist with daily routines, and organize educational and recreational activities.

I enjoy spending time with children and building positive relationships with them. I am patient, responsible, and attentive, and I always strive to create a safe, supportive, and fun environment where children feel comfortable and cared for.

"QiaMaura is a wonderful nanny to have! She is responsible, trustworthy, dependable and very caring. My son enjoys his time with her every time she nanny’s. She is very playful, kind and patient with him which is great since my 6 year old is full of energy. Qiamaura is always great with communicating with us and doesn’t hesitate to reach out if she is ever unsure of something. We truly appreciate her helping to keep our house routines in order. I would happily recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy nanny."

A little bit about me

Hello,

My name is Kauri, and have over 3yrs of childcare experience. I have cared for children ages 0-7yrs! I have worked for a few different families, and have three references. I am currently pursuing childcare/nannying professionally and hope to be attending college this September. Ideally I am looking for a part time position for this summer!

I would consider myself an outdoorsy person, I often take the children I care for out to play in the yard, playground, library, etc. Additionally I do light housekeeping as well as cooking (meals, also baby lead weaning).
