A little bit about me

Hi there! I’m a dedicated and experienced nanny with over 5 years of hands-on care experience. For the past 2 years, I’ve worked in out-of-school care with children aged 5-8, and previously worked for 3 years as a nanny for toddlers (ages 1-4). I’m passionate about creating safe, engaging, and educational environments for kids to learn and grow.

I’m First Aid and CPR certified, and I have a valid driver’s license with my own car, so I’m happy to help with school drop-offs, pickups, or outings. I’m looking for 30 hours per week at a rate of $22/hour and am excited to support your family with nurturing care that helps your child thrive.

Let’s connect and see how I can be the perfect fit for your family!
