The most important part about being a nanny...

The safety, care, and happiness of the children I am responsible for.

My experience with special needs children...

- I am about to begin my fourth year of special education study
- I have been accepted into a masters program to further and expand on that knowledge
- I have been a teacher's assistant at 3 elementary schools and 1 middle school, working in special education classrooms
- I nannied two children with multiple disabilities as a senior in high school
- I was a volunteer at the Special Olympics for my swim team

The most important part about being a nanny...

I spent around 10 hours almost every day over the summer, and as my schedule allowed during high school with the two children I nannied (for two years). I played with them, helped them with their reading, took them to appointments, organized trips (water park, Chuck E. Cheese, etc.), cooked for them, changed diapers, etc. I absolutely fell in love with the kids. On my last day, they made me a card and when it was time for me to go, they clung to me and cried when they realized they wouldn't see me for a while. It both broke and warmed my heart at once.

Savannah L. - Seeking Work in Fairfax

Live-In Full-Time Nanny Available in Fairfax, VA: Savannah L.

Hi! I’m Savannah! I’ve always loved being around kids and have a lot of experience with different ages. I’m an aunt to 14 nieces and nephews, so I’ve been around and helped care for kids from newborns all the way up to age 10. I also have paid childcare experience with grade-school-aged children.

I’m very comfortable helping with everyday routines, keeping kids entertained, planning activities, helping with homework, and just being someone they feel comfortable and safe around. I’m also happy to help with cooking and preparing meals, light cleaning, and anything else that helps make things easier around the house. I’m a huge animal lover, so I’m completely comfortable working in homes with pets and helping with them when needed!

I’m responsible, dependable, patient, and pretty easygoing. I really enjoy getting to know the families I work with and becoming someone both the kids and parents can trust and feel comfortable with.
