A little bit about me
I love children, animals, and creativity-especially with food! I am certified as a wellness coach to help ease people into healthier eating. I like to follow a Montessori style of care, letting the child make their needs clear and helping them meet those needs, express themselves, complete homework, etc. I ran a vegan food business for five years, so I am ready to wear multiple hats and take care of a family!

A little bit about me
Hello, I’m Sindy!
I’ve worked with kids almost my whole life growing up with my mom as a nanny at our house! I’ve also been in school programs for kids where I’ve got to learn hands on with a wide range of ages and kids. I’ve had summer jobs with amazing families who’ve given me the opportunity to just keep on growing. I’m currently in school pursing elementary school education in hopes of becoming a teacher!

A little bit about me
My name is Crystal, and while this is an amazing website, I feel that maybe the basic job history section it doesn't capture the full picture of who I am. I am a full time middle school art teacher during the school year, and during the summer I supplement my income by nannying for families full time. I have worked with three different families over the last fifteen years and return to them each summer until their children are old enough to no longer need me. This year, I am looking for a new summer family and hoping I can help you by supporting yours!
I'm creative, love kids, organized and am a hard worker. I'm not afraid of long hours. I value education, but also recognize the need for structured play and free time. When I nanny I handle everything during the summer, play dates, laundry, meals, swim team and calendars. I love nannying because it still lets me work with kids during the summer but allows me a much needed break from the classroom.
Looking forward to meeting you!

A little bit about me
Hello, my name is Judy.
I've been a caregiver for over 10 years. I am CPR certified and have completed child development courses in college. I also worked as a teacher's assistant in a Montessori school for about 2 years, where I supported children's learning in a nurturing environment. I have 10 years of experience working with special needs children.
I truly love working with children and always strive to bring out the best in them. Depending on their age and interests, I regularly introduce new toys, activities, or books to keep them engaged and stimulated. I also enjoy outdoor time with kids-visiting playgrounds, attending playdates, music classes, and trips to the library, museums, weather permitting.
I have good work ethics, and I'm flexible and collaborative, always willing to work with families to ensure that each child's needs are fully supported.
I'm also happy to assist with light housekeeping, laundry, etc
References and background check are available upon request.
