A little bit about me

I've been a caregiver for 14+ years, caring for kids from just a few weeks old up to age 12. I'm confident juggling different needs, ages, and personalities, whether that's helping a toddler through potty training or guiding a 10-year-old through homework frustration.

Experience breakdown:
-Infants, toddlers, & older children
-Multiples
-Select special needs
-Doctor visits
-Daytime outings, pickups/drop-offs
-Meal prep, light cleaning, bedtime, bath time, homework help
-Pets (I love animals!)
-Out of town visits, including care in hotel rooms.

My goals are to make your life easier, help your child feel safe, supported, & seen. My other professional background in management has primed me for being able to prioritize, to patiently & positively meet needs, clearly communicate, and taking responsibility. Most importantly, it has made me realize that if I have to get a headache about something work related, it might as well be from an adorable screaming child.

"Wendy has helped care for my baby girl in ways that I can’t even begin to express. She is a good listener, hardworking, and punctual. Wendy helped create structured soothing routines for my toddler. This allowed baby to get adequate naps. Her problem-solving approach helped my daughter eat better — whether that’s meal-prepping or brainstorming recipes. Wendy encourages my baby to take the lead in figuring out her interests. Most parents have an abundance of toys which can easily overstimulate children. She teaches my baby to play by picking one toy at a time and avoiding screens. She also encourages the baby to take care of her belongings. This has allowed my girl to become calm and happy. Wendy helped me at a time when trusting a responsible babysitter had become a significant hurdle for me. I had a child after a miscarriage and five IVF cycles. In helping care for my child with all her heart, she has also helped heal some of my trauma. Any family would be lucky to have Wendy."

More About Me

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I really enjoy crafts and exploring the city with kids. They tend to notice all the little things that all of us big kids miss.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Knowing the balance between regulating and wrangling - especially as they are growing toddlers.

The most important part about being a nanny...

More recently I helped a kiddo get over their fear of the night time (outside, when dark) by sharing that when I was little I got over my fear by yelling to the monsters that they didn’t scare me. So we both decided to yell that out of the kid’s apartment window to see if it would work. He’s been alright with the dark ever since!
