A little bit about me

I am a caring. compassionate and dedicated nanny and I have over 25 years of experience being a nanny/babysitter. In addition, I have had the pleasure of raising two children of my own and I am a grandmother.
I am seeking a part-time position caring for newborn babies and/or infants. I am willing to perform light housekeeping, pet care, running errands and occasional overnight.
I am very calm, nurturing and loving which is sensed by the babies in my care. Although I am fun loving, your child's emotional well-being and physical safety are my main concerns. I enjoy reading, singing songs, playing games and walking to watch for butterflies and birds, watching them fly and sing . I consider myself a very responsible individual and have a lot of patience and integrity.
In conclusion, I am CPR and First Aid Certified. I have a clean background check and great reviews available at an interview. I welcome the opportunity to be interviewed for the care of your baby. Judy

"We have four boys, ages 2-8, and have been particular about who we use for childcare. We began using Evie as a babysitter in the spring of 2015, and she has become a beloved part of our family over the years. Handling multiple, energetic boys, and a baby at the same time, is a challenging job, but Evie has managed it beautifully. She has a sweet, calm demeanor but is also firm and keeps the boys and our home in order. We come home to a clean kitchen, washed dishes, and picked-up toys. And, most importantly, we find safe boys with fun stories about games played and books read. Our boys both love and respect Evie. We have also been able to observe Evie’s character and have been consistently impressed with her maturity. She is actively involved in our church and radiates a love for Jesus. She is respectful, honest, modest, and dependable. We trust her completely and have recommended her to others who also now have Evie at the top of their babysitter lists! "
