A little bit about me

Im Chelsea! I have been a professional nanny for 7 years. Before I decided to go private I worked in preschool from infant-pre-K . I absolutely love what I do! I believe in teachable moments, I do not believe all learning needs to come from a book. I love taking the kids out on adventures and work lessons in that way. I have made lesson plans in the past for families who wanted a more structured day. I am not one to sit and watch your kids play on their iPads we will be active and grown out fine and gross motor skills throughout the day ! If you have any further questions feel free to message me. I cant wait to meet your family!

A little bit about me

Kids often describe me as kind, sweet, and silly. It’s been one of my biggest blessings to grow up in a large family and have so many cousins to take care of. Being the oldest daughter and cousin has taught me so much about myself and about life. I love animals, games, movies, adventures, long walks, and traveling.
In the future, I would love to own my own pediatric dental office because I’m passionate about healthcare, kids, and helping people smile!
