"Senna, who was a fantastic nanny for our child, Penny. Senna was incredibly reliable, caring, and attentive, always ensuring Penny was safe, engaged, and happy.
From the start, Senna formed a wonderful bond with Penny, showing patience, warmth, and creativity in their daily activities. Whether it was organizing fun and educational playtime, preparing meals, or handling bedtime routines, Senna approached every task with responsibility and kindness. We always felt at ease knowing Penny was in such capable hands.
Senna is not only a great caregiver but also a genuinely thoughtful and trustworthy person. We highly recommend Senna to any family looking for a nurturing and dependable nanny."

A little bit about me
Hello, my name is Theresa and I am 51 years old. My husband of 25 years and myself raised our four adult kids , who now have their own family's that they are raising and in total they gave us twelve unique , special grandkids.
I met and started helping at the time a family of three and stayed with them until April 2024 . Helping with all three of their kids from birth so the parents could work and not have to worry about the Littles.
I DOORDASH for extra money and Thursday through Sunday are my busy days. Monday through Wednesday I've got an open time availability. Which is all flexible. I would prefer to meet the right family and slowly get to know prior to any long term commitment and if all goes well with a full schedule I'd rather not have to do DOORDASH.
I need one paid days to shadow parent , get to know family , learn routine, and take notes myself so their is no mistakes as to what is
expected where things goes and how it works.
Preferable security cameras set up

"I have had Drea around for years, she has become part of the family. Shes so sweet and helpful, definitely beyond the “nanny” role. She really cares about children and only wants to help out the most she can. She’s very sweet but also knows how to keep the kids in line- I’ve never felt unsure or hesitant having her around my kids. She’s amazing."

A little bit about me
Am compassionate about caring for young children. I retired from the State of Nevada where i worked in social services. My job entailed assisting young parents with educational opportunities that would allow them to become self sufficient. Early retirement allowed me to travel and learn from other cultures. I did volunteer work with local Animal rescues but felt I needed more purpose. I decided to pair my love of children into a part time position as a nanny which has been extremely rewarding. I have been with my family for almost 3 years. They were seeking someone that would serve as a surrogate grandparent as the biological grandparents live out of State. I keep the boys busy with activities that are safe and engaging. This can include baking banana bread or hiking in Galena where we collect leaves and pinecones to identify and use for craft projects. The pandemic has caused us to think out of the box but has not stopped our ability to learn from engaging with the world we live in.
