A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Courtney. I am a 46-year-old single mom to (no bias here!) a happy and even-tempered three-year-old son. I understand some parents are doubtful of a nanny bringing their own little one to their childcare position. I assure you that your child will receive the same unconditional love my son does. I truly enjoy kids. Children are curious, fun, and open. It's so great to see them learning and embracing life. I have extensive life and paid experience with children from infancy to teen. I have been told I am patient, fun, and kind. I enjoy engaging kids in activities like reading, being outdoors, puzzles, games, arts & crafts, etc. I am looking for a healthy family to build a long-standing relationship with. Excellent references and driving record. Multiples experience. First Aid/CPR/AED cert. Background check run on other platform; will share! A little about me: avid reader, horticulture nerd, water lover, dog fan, and enjoy daily meditation, yoga, and walks. Thank you!

More About Me

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

Apart from paid experience, I have extensive life experience with children ages 0-15 years old spanning my entire life.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Reading, arts & crafts, outdoor play, walking, puzzles, games, singing, trips to places like museums & farmer's markets, etc. I really believe in active kids. I don't rely on screen time!

The most important part about being a nanny...

Keeping the spark of openness and curiosity alive in children so that they grow into adults with those qualities in tact. Treating children with respect. Being present in the moment and fully available.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I wasn't a nanny at the time. I am 9 years older than my little sister, so I helped raise her. One day we were at a restaurant and the waiter asked my mom and then myself what we would like to drink. We both replied water. When he turned to my sister and asked what she wanted to drink he said, Would you like some water, also? She said Yes and then once he walked away she turned to us eyes wide and said, He thinks my name is also!. It was priceless! My second one is a child I currently watch: He came home from school and said he was told by his teacher that he needed to have a time-out. I asked him how long? He said 5 minutes since he is 5 years old. He then informed me that when he is 60 years old it will be 60 minutes of time-out, haha!
