A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Lisa, and I have dedicated my career to caring for children and supporting families. With a background in occupational therapy, I have worked with children of all ages, including those with special needs, helping them develop essential life skills and confidence. I am currently a teacher’s aide in a public school and have years of experience as a nanny, caregiver, and educator.

I love fostering a warm, engaging, and structured environment where children can thrive. My approach balances fun, learning, and personal growth, whether through creative play, reading, or developmental activities. I am also experienced in assisting elderly individuals, making me a great fit for families who may also need light senior care.

I am currently looking for a live-in nanny position for the summer (May–September) and am open to both full-time and part-time roles. I am dependable, nurturing, and truly passionate about making a positive impact on the lives of the families I work with.
