A little bit about me

A nanny who is willing to do it all! Full of compassion, empathy, and grace. Over ten years of experience with children from newborns to 16 years of age. My best experience comes from raising two sweet daughters who have some sort of disability. I have learned to be more patient and understanding. Have worked with other families in their homes performing whether cleaning, light or heavy cooking, laundry, picking up children from school straight to after school activities. Have worked with grieving children who have lost a parent and provided immense amount of comfort while also being involved in therapy sessions. Ready to share my best to a new loving family in surrounding towns.

Hi, I’m Raz. I’ve been a full time nanny for 3 years but have been babysitting for 6 years. I fell in love with it as I watched and played with my infant sister.

She was extremely reliable, and my kids had a blast with her. Gabby would play outside with them, sports, electric scooters, snowball fights, long walks with them and the dog. I had total peace of mind when she was with them."
