I’m vaccinated against Covid + had my booster shots, flu and RSV. I don’t smoke, drink or do drugs. My CPR and First Aid certifications are current.

"I am pleased to share my review of our nanny, Tiffaney, who has been an essential part of our family for the past many months. From day one, she worked to connect with my toddler, ensuring that he feels safe, loved, and engaged throughout their time together.
Reliability and trustworthiness are two qualities that we required in our nanny, and Tiffaney consistently exceeded my expectations in both areas. I could always count on her to be prepared for whatever the day had in store and be flexible. Her background as a paramedic gave me peace of mind that she can handle whatever crisis may occur and prevent my son from being in any danger. I felt secure that my son was in such capable hands while I was unable to be with him.
I wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a nurturing and dependable caregiver. Her dedication and love for children are evident, and I am grateful for the positive influence she has had on my son during this crucial year of his growth."

A little bit about me
Im a fluent English speaker from South Africa in the USA for 9 years now, with pure and unjustified love for children as seeds of this earth. I have taken care of children for as long as I can imagine, coming from a family of 15 kids, growing up I felt joy participating in community service programs in helping Youth. In my past experiences I worked in orphanages, child abuse shelters as well as developing a library in an underprivileged city called Hilbrow in South Africa, this had me elected as Youth Hero for The LeadSA leading me to do a Youth development program assisting girls with sanitary towels and toiletries with Glam Girls Club. I am a hardworking individual, who believes in the growth of knowledge with no limitations. The reason as to why I enjoy being company to children is because I believe they are the future generation that we will all look to in making the world and Humanity a lot more successful than it is.

A little bit about me
I am 27 years old and I've been working as a private nanny for 10 years. I've completed a CPR/ First Aid course for Infants, children & Adults. I also have a son who is nearing 6 months old. I am looking for a job where i can bring him with me. I love the outdoors, cooking, & learning new skills. I've worked with a few families where I often drive the kids to places like the beach or aquariums on day trips. Each family I worked with had 2 -3 kids, ages 1 - 14 years old. But, i have also helped in hosting large events like birthday parties for clients with about 14 children in attendance. I choose to work with children because i absolutely enjoy how they see the world. They're amazed by the small things that you grow up to look over and they have no qualms about telling you their honest opinions. I love to foster that feeling of wonder and help them to also love new things, be it basics like academics , art, or new foods. I also love animals & teach about them as well.

"Bianca is very caring and kind. She always listened to my kids and followed my rules and instructions. She always kept me informed about what went on with my kids during the day or night. She was a very safe driver with the kids. My children had nothing but respect and good things to say about her. They were always happy and cheerful when I came back home. She even helped them out with their homework. During shelter in place she was amazing to come and provide respite during the weekday. I highly recommend her. She’s even good with pets. My German shepherd loved her. Bianca would take my kids and dog for hikes and they all loved it."

I have been teaching for the last 6 years and looking for a job where I can nanny while being with my 1 year old son. If you and I find that working with each other is a good fit, I would wait for about 6-8 weeks before considering bringing him into your home with me. I am Montessori trained in ages 6-12 years old. I have lots of experience working with children 5mo- 12 years old. I am not fluent in Spanish, but can carry small conversations and teach words to your child.

"Rosalie was such a great care taker to our 1.5 year old during her time here. Her vibe just screams nurturing and it gets backed up with all the activities and interaction she had with our little one. She brought our baby out to the back yard to explore nature and even taught her a lot about parts of the tree and how to identify different species. During snack times she helped reinforce the signing we were currently teaching and even went above and beyond by expanding the signs that our little one currently knew. I would definitely recommend Rosalie to anyone who is looking to have their child watched by her."

"She really cares about your kid, and will treat them as if they were family! Her past experience as a licensed nurse, a mother and grandmother, and mental health care worker also made her stand out compared to anyone else that had ever watched our child (including daycare professionals, and preschool teachers). You couldn’t ask for a better teacher and caretaker for your child when you’re not around!"
