A little bit about me
My name is Sai. I am registered nurse from Thailand. I have experiences with kids more than 4 years. I works as an aupair in the USA from Nov 2019 to Aug 2021. While I worked as an aupair I took care of 15 years old boy ( spacial needs in Memphis about 6 months. And then I move to Virginia to take care of two lovely boys ( 3 and 5 years old ) for about 1 and a half years. I love kids. I am so happy to work with them. Lately, I also take care of 11 months old girl and 3 years old girl in Florida.

"I have a one year old and a three year old and Sai was so wonderful with both of them. My one year old was in the throes of stranger anxiety when she started with us but by the end of Sai’s time with us, she absolutely adored her, as did my 3 year old. She took them outside very often, got them to eat their lunches and was overall an incredibly warm, kind and engaged nanny with them. She was always so sweet and helped to clean up even if she didn’t need to. We’ve had nannies in the past who are often on their phones or not as interactive but Sai is not like that at all. Highly recommend her!"

"Mary is an absolute gem. We are heartbroken that her time with us is ending - it is ONLY because our children are full time in school now. Mary began with us 7 years ago and is incredibly dependable and reliable. She is wonderful with children; mine adore her. She interacts with them well, she is creative, she helped them with school and helped them learn numbers, letters, and basics before starting preschool. She is firm with rules but not harsh. She teaches/reinforces manners, kindness, and being a helper. She handled additional responsibilities too: kids laundry, grocery shopping, tidying/generally straightening, starting dinner, etc. She took the children to and from lessons/practices, parks and playgrounds, the public library, and other community activities. We trust her completely. Our children are in wonderfully loving and capable hands with her. I often say we have “a real life Mary Poppins in Mary”. The next family/children for whom she works will be blessed to have her."

"Carmen managed the chaotic world of infant/toddler twin boys with boundless
patience, energy, and genuine love.
Carmen handled all aspects of our boys' daily care with organization and efficiency. Her responsibilities include:
• Meal Preparation & Nutrition
• Daily Maintenance & Hygiene: baths, laundry and cleaning up after the boys.
• Development & Enrichment: playing, reading, socializing.
• Routine & Structure: successfully getting
active twins down for naps with minimal fuss. Our children respect and
love her.
Carmen was very comfortable caring for infants and as they became toddlers and our third boy when home and seamlessly tailored her approach to fit their needs.
What truly sets Carmen apart is her reliability and her heart. She is always on time, balances structure
with warmth and affection. The boys adore her.
Carmen is trustworthy, proactive, deeply loving, and uniquely equipped to handle high-energy, multi-child
households. She has our highest possible recommendation."

A little bit about me
I’ve been caring for children since the 1900s & 4 decades later, still adore every stagenewborns-teens.
Caring for kids isn’t something I do on the side, it’s been my life’s work, and I bring that dedication into every home I support. I earned my degree in Elementary Education in 1996, then taught at the JCC in Maitland where I worked with the same infants through their toddler years. My co-teacher and I supported their development through sign language, early communication skills, potty training, sleep routines and structured play. I’m a very hands-on caregiver. I love engaging kids in activities that spark curiosity, movement and imagination. Walks outside, sports, crafts, reading time, sensory play and age-appropriate learning are all part of my day. Families trust me because I’m consistent, mature, dependable and fully present with their children.
Flexible schedule while obtaining my newborn care/sleep specialist certifications. Outside background and DL screeningings available
