"Thando was our daughter's nanny from when our baby was 4 months to 16 months old. My husband and I are first-time parents and our families live far away, but Thando made our lives so much easier with her extensive background and knowledge in infant and toddler-care. Thando took care of all of our baby's needs, did all the daily baby-related chores, helped our daughter thrive, and kept our minds at ease as we returned to work--we couldn't have asked for a better experience. What's more is she genuinely loves babies and enjoys spending time with them, and her sense of humor was always a welcome pick-me up for 2 tired parents! Happy to chat in more detail with prospective employers over the phone."

I am a career nanny living in Washington DC. I have over 15 years of childcare experience, including the last 5 years as a professional nanny.

I’ve been playing the violin since the age of 5 and dancing for nearly as long. I have a B.S. in Food Science and Human Nutrition from Clemson University.
I take pride in my organization and efficiency skills. I am an intermediate French speaker and know basic Spanish. I utilize ASL with infants and toddlers to augment language development and promote early communication. I am passionate about learning languages!
