A little bit about me

Hello my name is Summer. I’m a compassionate, loving, go with the flow woman who adores children. I have worked in a daycare setting for over three consecutive years. I enjoy bringing my love of art, dance, outdoors, healthy foods and gentle parenting approaches. I don’t use electronics to entertain the little ones.I love the opportunity to get messy, loud and energetic with children .Knowing that we had a good, full day. I also enjoy watching children grow and learn, helping them as they grow and face new challenges in school and life in general. I love teaching children new things.I have experience with infants to 9 years of age and I’ve been doing this type of work for about four years now. I have many references , so rather if it’s full time nanny work or just occasional babysitting I think I may be the right person for you.

I can help preparing meals for the children and do slight household chores, I’m fully vaccinated, I’m a non -smoker and comfortable with animals.
