"It is my great pleasure to recommend Brianna Jones as a nanny. She has been caring for our 5 year old since he was a newborn. Bree is bright, reliable and affectionate. She is also well-versed in child development, both due to her experience working in childcare and her studies while she is obtaining her CDA. she just has a natural affinity towards children. She relates well to our son in such a delightful way, turning practically everything into a life lesson and a fun game. Bree also knows how to structure time well, but it also flexible. she is very good when it comes to arts and crafts and homework help. My house has also never looked better when shes around,and she is an excellent cook! We feel fortunate to have had Brianna in our home. please don't hesitate to contact me if you would like to hear more about our experiences with Brianna jenissalister@gmail.com sincerely , The Lister's.

A little bit about me

I'm Jess, I'm a licensed professional counselor who has been working with kids and families in West Philly for the last ten years as a nanny, school counselor, and family therapist. I've enjoyed supporting kids and families in their growth, having the opportunity to play, and the sweetness that spending time with children brings to my life. It is one of the greatest honors of my life to be a part of the emotional lives of children and families and shape them as my experiences with them shape me. I've enjoyed my roles as consultant, collaborator, and companion in the families I've worked with in the past and am interested in working with a family who values clear communication, gentleness, compassion, mutual respect, and playfulness.

In my free time I love to cook, travel, spend time outdoors, host big parties for my chosen family, volunteer for an herbal medicine mutual aid project, and sing made up songs to my cat.

"Jess cared for our kiddo from the time kiddo was 5 months old, until she was just about 18 months. The only reason our engagement ended was Covid, when the nanny share we were in dissolved due to lockdown. Jess is very caring and calm, and it truly helped me as a new parent, to be able to hand my child off each workday morning knowing that she would be looking after my child. Jess always made sure to give us feedback from the day, which was super helpful, especially as we were navigating the change from bottles to solid food. My kiddo loved spending time with Jess (and her nanny share buddy). Engagement and outdoor play is important, and Jess always made sure that both kids in the Nanny share had plenty of both. Without hesitation, we recommend Jess to any parent seeking not just a caregiver, but a partner in nurturing their child's growth. If we ever decided to have another child there's no doubt in our minds – Jess would be our nanny in a heartbeat."

A little bit about me

Hi! I'm Valentina and I’m 22 years old. I am outgoing, and I enjoy talking and spending time with people, especially kids. They are a delight and I love being with them. I've taken care of my brother throughout his whole childhood, and from time to time I also babysat some cousins. I have had jobs as a full time and part time nanny, live-ins and also live out, and I think of them as my little siblings. I have many videos I can show you if you’d like to see! I like learning new things, so I’d be happy to learn what they like or we could learn something new together. I love pets also! I do want to mention I have a cat who has been with me since birth. Please consider that for live in positions. I like traveling so I’m happy to move to work for you and go on trips.
I am CPR/first aid certified, and I have a PA drivers license. No car though! Thank you for taking the time to read this! Feel free to ask anything. If you think we could be a match, I’ll look forward to hearing from you!

"She is very sweet, caring, attentive and understanding. She took care of my kids like they were her own. She played with them. She talked to them. She listened to them. She cooked for them and she can cook. She was like a second mother to my children I had to move and if I could take her with me, I would’ve. She helped me become more understanding as a mother. If you do hire her just know that you are going to get the best out of her. She gives her all. My kids and I are going to miss her. Thank you, Takiyah."
