A little bit about me

My goal as your nanny is to create a safe and developmentally appropriate environment to compliment your child's nurturing and maximize their growth and potential. As your nanny, my hope is that I become a part of your family, as your child will become a part of mine. I have 11 yrs of nanny experience, have been a full-time nanny for 7 yrs and have run multiple nanny shares. Most recently, I've worked as a preschool teacher at our local church and have been with an incredible family whose son is heading to preschool. I also have two children of my own, a 6yr old daughter and a 15mo son! We love spending time outside, attending parks, museums and age appropriate activities for children, as well as crafting, reading, exploring, and any other classes or activities you have in mind! I have 3yrs of healthcare experience as a CNA. My certifications and experience include: CPR/FA , CNA, Newborn Care Specialist, Epipen training and dietary restrictions. I'm looking forward to hearing from you!

Her qualities of compassion, patience, and a positive attitude are truly invaluable.

A little bit about me

My name is Natalie. I currently work a Eos gym kids club i love my job I work with kids 6 months to 12 years old up to 22 kids at a time. So I think I can really handle any task with kids considering working with so many can get a little crazy. I love children I spend most of my time with my nephew and younger cousins. I think I’d be a good fit as a nanny because I love taking care of others and I enjoy being around children. Also if there’s housekeeping or anything that needs to get done I’m more than willing to help out. I’m always willing to go the extra mile for not only the kids needs but as well as the family’s.
