A little bit about us

As a full custodial single mother and dedicated full-time nursing student who also works as a bartender in the evenings, I find myself in need of assistance due to the demanding nature of my schedule. I am in search of a nanny who can provide support with light housekeeping, laundry, supervision of my child, meal preparation, upkeep of her living space, and readiness for school. Although my schedule is subject to change every 8 weeks, my current requirements involve attending classes on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for 3 hours, during which I seek help with homework and providing attention to my daughter. Additionally, I require assistance on Sundays to facilitate a smooth start to the ensuing week. I must emphasize that Thairy, my daughter, is exceptionally well-mannered and composed, and I am confident that any individual I engage will find satisfaction in working with her.
