A little bit about me

Your child will always be surrounded by loving, and a caring nanny, who will embrace your child’s uniqueness and individuality. I have 4 years of experience and I al CPR certified.

I adore children of all ages, especially toddlers. I love playing dress-up, reading stories, arts and crafts, hide ‘n’ seek, or any games that encourage children to learn and be apart of their growth!

The ideal family I am seeking have to respect my morals and goals. I want to grow with the family, as their child grows with me. It's a different environment, that I am welcomed in to, and the parents are the ones who set the tone. Simple words like "Good Morning", "How are you doing?", "How was your weekend?" Are things that would make my day! Children take after their parents manners. My ideal family will value these simple phrases and enfluence their children to speak so respectfully! For example, "please and thank you!", or "can you please get me an apple?"

If you are interested, I can give you more details regarding my experience. Also, I can send you my letter of recommendation and resume. Please let me know if you are interested

Good luck in your search!
Best,
Karinaliz
