A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Victoria and I currently live in St. Louis with my husband, our two guinea pigs (Martha and Rose), and our dog (Scully)! I have been a nanny since 2021, caring for two children beginning when they were 8 months and 5 years old, respectively, and will be seeking a new position when they relocate at the end of the summer. Prior to my switch to the nannying world, I spent 4 years as a lead preschool teacher, working with children ages 3-5, creating and implementing lesson plans, as well as supervising and tracking progress among students. Ultimately, I found that my passion lies in providing personalized attention to growing families! I would be happy to answer any questions you may have and look forward to hearing from you soon!

A little bit about me

Summer is a great time for rest and relaxation so let me take some of the stress of you by helping you find a great nanny to match with your family! Day to day I like to include fun games, books, crafts, activities, and outings that encourage child development and play-based learning. I like getting to know kids and families and finding what works best for them. I create daily routines within a week to balance, play, work and rest so kids know what to expect and the days go smoothly.
I have been a professional nanny for 3 years, but my experience goes back further then that, with working in nurseries, babysitting and summer camps. I have also added to my career by taking certification and classes to further my knowledge. My philosophy is Connection Centered Discipline which is based on respect, connections and growth while still setting firm boundaries to help children feel safe and thrive in their worlds. I am currently looking for a full time long term jobs.
