A little bit about me

I have a little over four years of experience with working with children of all ages. I have found a passion within what I do and am looking to continue further for the long run. I love arts and crafts, staying active and energetic, and trying new things. Nannying is not only a job to me, but it is something that I hope to make a connection with the family I end up with as well. My availability is whatever works for the families.

A little bit about me

The main role of a great nanny is to provide a safe, caring, nurturing and stimulating environment in which the children thrive and develop.

Over the past 10 years I have had the privilege of working with many different children. I have experience from ages 2 weeks old to 12 years old. I have also cared for twins and children with special needs. I consider myself a creative individual. I would say my specialty would be in creative crafts and drawing, but not limited to only that. I also like spending nice days playing outside with children. Creating fun new games that challenge them physically as well as tapping into their imaginations is something I like to do on a regular basis. I believe the relationship between parents and nanny is extremely important. Trust and strong communication is a must. I have found it helpful to keep a journal logging meals, naps, diaper changes, and important milestones that happen throughout the day for parents to reference and review. I can provide nanny, professional, and personal references for you.
