A little bit about me

I have 12 years child care experience with ages newborn to teen. I find it very rewarding to watch children grow and to be a part of shaping who they are. I value honesty, integrity and openness. I find that communication is key to having a successful relationship with the family I work with. My role as a professional nanny is to always make sure children are safe, happy, and secure. I also believe that in order for children to prosper they need a lot of love, attention, and affection. I make sure that when I am working I take great care and precautionary measures to ensure the safety of the children.  I also make sure that the children are engaged in activites that are educational, creative and fun.

"Ashley, was the first person outside of family to watch our 2 children ages 3 months (boy) and 1.5 year old (girl) and to our delight, Ashley went above what we could imagine for our nanny and quickly adjusted to our families’ schedule creating a smooth transition for my children. My son suffered from colic. Ashley had previous experience with colic babies and showed very little frustration. Ashley is gifted with very nurturing and patient qualities. She stayed with our family for 4 years., working over 50 hours a week . I have found Ashley to be dependable, flexible, and trustworthy. She is in tune with my children and loves to interact with them by finding creative ways to have fun. We have traveled several times with Ashley, which made the trips go smoothly. Ashley also helped with housekeeping, errands, transportation to children activities etc. Ashley can be regarded as an exceptional experienced nanny who cares about children.. We are grateful to have had her in our life."

"Elora is just the sweetest soul. She always has a smile on her face. Is always excited to come and play with the kids. We still use her for occasional work because she’s so incredible. She has cared for both my children as new borns and has tons of experience with infants. She’s always reliable and her attitude is always consistent. She is never on her phone and loves taking the kids on walks or to parks. She loves being outdoors and has taken my kids swimming many times. I can’t express enough how responsible she is. Blessed to have her in our lives. My kids absolutely adore her!"

A little bit about me

I am a caring and patient person who enjoys working with children. I've been taking care of my sister's kids since I was in high school, which helped me realize how much I enjoy caring for children. I also have two children of my own, which has taught me even more about helping kids learn, grow, and feel loved. I currently work at a preschool program, where I help create a fun, safe, and positive environment for children every day. I enjoy watching children reach new milestones and believe every child deserves to feel happy, supported, and encouraged.

A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Renae and I have recently moved back to the Scottsdale area. I have been a nanny for over 10 years in multiple states with kiddos ranging in age from 3 months to 12 years. I do not mind light house tidying, or meal prep.

I absolutely love getting creative with kids, their imaginations are incredible and so much fun! I have been an art teacher and special ed teacher in Idaho and am very comfortable combining arts and crafts with social development and interaction growth.

My most recent Nanny position was in Wyoming with a sweet 3 month old girl, I was with the family for 5 1/2 months.

While my profile says full-time, that is not set in stone, I am open to considering part time if the family and I are a good fit.
If you think we might be a potential fit please reach out to me, if not I wish you all the best and that you find the perfect fit for you and your wonderful family!
