A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Vanessa B, and I’m a caring, dependable, and patient nanny with a genuine love for working with children. As a mother to a 6-year-old boy, I understand the importance of creating a safe, nurturing, fun, and structured environment where children can learn and grow. I also have experience working in daycares, where I cared for children of different ages and helped with daily routines, activities, meals, learning, and supervision. I’m attentive, organized, trustworthy, and easy to communicate with, and I enjoy building positive relationships with both children and parents while providing reliable support for the household.

A little bit about me

I am a recent law school graduate. Between undergrad and law school I worked a year contract as a nanny for two families where I took care of two infants and then another year contract with another infant full time.

I have been babysitting and nannying children since I was in middle school.

I have experience with all ages, including infants, and worked at a Montessori school for a year (0-18 months). I also have experience with Baby Led Weaning.

I am a huge feminist, and that plays a large role in how I work with children - I want to nurture and help raise amazing members of our community who are tolerant, kind, empathetic, loving, and respectful of all people

I am fluent in Farsi and French if you are looking for a language-specific babysitter. I am responsible, caring, and empathetic, and I relate with children of all ages.
