A little bit about me

Hello! I am a retired Corporate Early Childhood Director. I have a BA in Elementary Education & Early Childhood Education from the University of Nebraska (1991). I am an Early Childhood trainer and Baby whisperer who misses children and is looking for occasional work with infants and toddlers while I write my parenting book. I am the perfect person for new parents who might need additional help or parenting support. I am patient, resilient, and have a very flexible schedule. I am a non-smoker and I do not have any pets.
I am also available for consulting for families of newborns as well as parents who are struggling or need a little help with early childhood issues or behaviors related to their kiddos.

Full-Time Nanny Available in Milton, NH: Hannah F.

Caregiving has been a large part of my life. I enjoy how rewarding caring for others can be and the connection you form in doing so. I am a certified LNA in the state of New Hampshire as well as CPR certified. I cook, clean, do laundry, assist with bathing, medications, transportation, etc. I am extremely reliable and hard working and never miss a day of work! I had a little girl this year so I am looking to gear my work more towards childcare at the moment. We love to go on adventures and I love to be actively engaged in her development. I am hoping to nanny for another child or two to really focus my energy on bringing good experiences and adventures not only to my child but to the other children I care for as well!
