A little bit about me

I am a mother of two adult children and a trained chef. I have been working as a nanny, a private chef and in the culinary and hospitality industry for the past 25 years. When my children were young I was a nanny for an amazing family while raising my babies. I cared for all of them at the same time, diapering, bottle feeding, meal preparation, nap schedules, age appropriate education and adventures, and play time. I love to incorporate education, art, and the outdoors into our daily routine, and let's not forget cooking! From [phone number hidden], I ran a children's art program at the local community center. We enjoyed the arts and crafts so much that it continued into my nanny position and the lives of my children. In 2011, my family situation changed and I went back to my full time career as a chef. Now, with my family grown, I want to get back into working with children and hope you will consider me for a long-term, full-time position as your nanny.
