"As a single working father of 2 Lisa was such a pleasure to work with. Lisa not only watches my children, she engages with them, takes care of them, listens and takes part in their interest which i appreciate. She treats my children like they're part of her own family. She's kind, sweet, patient, highly motivated, and always willing to put my Emma and Johnathan first. On weekends my children are always wondering when auntie Lisa is going to come and visit. She is wonderful and I highly recommend her services."

"Lili was such a great help during a busy time. She took such great care of my child. She respected my home and family, little one included by treating them as a person rather than just some child. She feuled their creativity and imagination with little crafts and cute stories. Unfortunately we had to move, but I do wish her well on her new adventures. Any family would be lucky to have her!"

"I had the pleasure of having Lili as a nanny for my son Noah over the past three months, and I couldn't be more grateful. Lili's patience and kindness truly made a difference in our home. She connected with Noah effortlessly, always finding ways to engage him, even on days when he wasn't feeling very verbal. I appreciated how she respected his need for quiet time, creating a calm and supportive environment. Lili’s understanding nature helped Noah feel comfortable and secure, and I noticed significant growth in his confidence during her time with us. Her creativity and gentle approach kept him happy and entertained, and I always felt at ease knowing he was in such caring hands. I highly recommend Lili to any family looking for a nurturing and attentive nanny. She has a remarkable gift with children!"

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I have nannied, been a teacher, a camp counselor, and ran a princess party company. I have been working with kids since I was old enough to babysit.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy engaging children in a variety of activities that spark creativity and foster learning. Together, we can explore arts and crafts, have fun with outdoor adventures like nature walks and scavenger hunts, and enjoy storytime with captivating books. I love to incorporate music and dance, cook simple recipes, and encourage imaginative play through dress-up and role play. We can also dive into fun science experiments, build projects with blocks, and host themed parties. Additionally, I like organizing playdates, seasonal crafts, and even yoga for relaxation, all while making lasting memories through photography and friendly board games. These activities not only promote creativity but also strengthen our bond!

The most important part about being a nanny...

Nannying matters deeply to me because it allows me to make a meaningful impact in children's lives during their formative years. I believe that providing a nurturing and stimulating environment helps children grow emotionally, socially, and creatively. Each day spent with them is an opportunity to foster their curiosity, encourage their unique interests, and support their development. I cherish the relationships built with both the children and their families, and I find immense joy in being a trusted role model and source of support. Ultimately, nannying is not just a job for me; it's a passion that enriches my life and the lives of the children I care for.

My experience with special needs children...

I have worked with kids across the autism spectrum, anxiety, add, and some with some selective mutism.
