A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Natalie a dedicated nanny with 13 years of experience caring for children from infancy to young adulthood, both in daycare settings and with private families. My most recent family entrusted me with their little one from 3 months old to 21 months, and now that he’s transitioning to daycare, I’m looking for a new family to support.

I’m CPR and First Aid certified, providing peace of mind while ensuring a safe, engaging environment. I also specialize in Montessori-inspired play, which fosters independence, creativity, and curiosity in children.

In addition to my hands-on experience, I’m pursuing a degree in pediatric dentistry, which reflects my dedication to child development and well-being. I’m excited to bring my experience and warmth to a family that values nurturing, attentive care!

"We were so fortunate to have Natalie as our nanny! She joined our family when our son was just 4 months old, and her impact has been incredible. The only reason we don’t need her help anymore is that he’s moving on to daycare, but it’s truly hard to say goodbye Natalie has been a wonderful part of our lives. From the beginning, she showed such warmth, reliability, and professionalism. Natalie has a natural way with infants, and her attentiveness to our son’s needs was exceptional. She created a comforting routine with the perfect balance of feedings, naps, and playtime, and our son absolutely adored her. Natalie also kept us well-informed, sharing daily updates on his milestones and routine changes. Her communication and dedication gave us complete peace of mind. She quickly felt like family, and any household would be so lucky to have her as part of their lives. We highly recommend Natalie to anyone seeking a loving, reliable nanny! Will be reference!"

"Ene is simply wonderful! She is deeply caring and enriched every day for our children. She was a trusted caregiver for our children for four years, and they love to see her on occasions when she helps us with drop-offs or pick-ups. My spouse and I feel immensely grateful to have found her, and she has a very special place in our hearts. She transitioned to a new family only when both our children transitioned to preschool full-time. We recommend her wholeheartedly!"

A little bit about me

I’m a caring and energetic nanny with over 10 years of experience working with children of all ages. I truly enjoy getting down to their level, whether it's playing outdoors, going on scooter or bike rides, or taking fun little adventures to grab treats as a reward for good behavior. I’m passionate about creating activities that help boost their confidence, encourage learning, and foster development.

At 23 years old, I've had the privilege of working in various roles, from nannying and babysitting to volunteering in church kids’ classes, coaching, and even teaching kids how to cook. I’ve spent the last 7 years with one family, watching their children grow into wonderful 7 and 10-year-olds. I’ve also worked with many other families throughout the years, both full-time and part-time, depending on the season and their needs
