A little bit about me

Safety is my utmost concern and I carefully monitor children when I take them on outings to the park or to museums, ANYWHERE. I understand good nutritional choices and I carefully prepare meals that are healthy for kids but that they also love to eat. I have had terrific relationships with all of the families and kids with whom I’ve worked.

I am only leaving my latest position because the children have now grown past the ages at which they need a nanny. Although my employer offered to keep me on in a housekeeping role, my true love is working with children. I have great verbal communication skills and can assist with all needs.
