A little bit about me

I have cared for children as young as five days old, up to 12 years old.

I'm a fully qualified preschool teacher. I was at my last preschool for four years and I'm ready to go back to my dream job, as a nanny.

I am a British national, born in Toronto raised in London, UK. I've been living in America for 20 years. I'm now a USA citizen. I have a degree in Business Management from the University of Surrey, UK.

I have traveled to 42 countries and visited 24 states. I have been a professional nanny for the last 20 years. I am a fully qualified swimming, kids yoga, and sailing instructor.

I have worked for multiple fortune one hundred CEO's of major corporations like Coca-Cola, McKinsey's and Company. I've cared for the governor of Nigeria 3-month-old twins for six months before they moved to Switzerland.

I enjoy pickle ball, camping, traveling, snowboarding and hiking. I have excellent referrals on request.

"It is my absolute pleasure to recommend Vanessa. She worked full-time with our family from April 2025 through September 2026, caring for our two children, who were 5 months and 6 years old when she started with us. Vanessa is incredibly dependable, trustworthy, patient, caring, and loving. From the beginning, I felt completely comfortable leaving my children in her care, which as a parent is invaluable. She developed such a special bond with both of our children and truly became part of our family. She also traveled with us, and we always trusted her completely with our children, both at home and away. Our time with Vanessa only came to an end because our childcare needs changed as our children transitioned into preschool and school. I always joke that I would have kept her until they went to college if I could! We absolutely love Vanessa and cannot recommend her highly enough. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her."

A little bit about me

Hi! I'm Bailey, and I love working with kids of all ages, from babies to school age. I have paid babysitting and nannying experience, and I'm currently studying speech-language pathology in school. I've spent a lot of time learning about how kids grow and play at each stage, which I get to put into practice every time I sit. I'm patient, reliable, and genuinely enjoy getting down on the floor to build with blocks, read stories, or just be silly. I am comfortable and experienced with kids who have different needs. Parents can count on me to keep things safe, fun, and on schedule (naps, meals, screen time rules, all of it). Looking forward to meeting your family!

"Sydney has been an integral & deeply cherished part of our family for the past year & a half. She joined us when our eldest daughter was 1.5 years old & was with us through the arrival & growth of our second daughter, whom she cared for from birth up to 1.5 years old. There are so many qualities that make Sydney exceptional, but a few stand out in particular: Patience & Emotional Intelligence: She possesses a remarkably calm, level-headed demeanor. Even during classic toddler tantrums or chaotic moments, she remains grounded, patient, & loving. Natural Teaching Ability: She excels at explaining the world to our girls, teaching them new skills, & guiding their development through creative play, reading, & activities. Warmth & Connection: The bond she built with our daughters is beautiful to see. She creates a safe, loving environment where children feel secure & valued. Any family fortunate enough to hire Sydney will be getting an absolute gem."
