A little bit about me
I have raised 3 intelligent, successful children, mostly in my own. I am a master at playing with children. I have 2 baby grandchildren in Arlington. With me, children are engaged in imaginative play and they know they are important. I follow parents' dietary rules. However, I prefer a more whole foods, preferably organic lifestyle. I'll make the food! I'd be delighted to find a family that will appreciate my unusual ability to take loving care of children.

A little bit about me
My name is Courtney and I'm 31 years old. Im from Cape Town, South Africa. I was an au pair for 2. 5 years since 2019. In 2021 I started nannying for the most gracious, loving family. 2 boys. Started with the first one when he was 3months old and his brother since he was 1-month-old. Its been 5 years now and my contract is ending since both boys are going to be in school. Kids naturally feed off my energy and positive personality. I am a passionate and easy-going person that can adapt quickly to change and I usually get along well with others.
Working as an au pair, my job required making breakfast, lunch and dinner. Drove them to their activities, school, doctor appointments(DC area) so I do have a lot of experience and comfortable in driving them wherever they need to be.
My current job, the family didnt need me to drive. Everywhere the boys needed to be was walking distance.
My passion has always been to work with children and being in their world.
Hope to hear from you soon!
