A little bit about me

Hello!
My name is Allie. I’ve worked with children since I was 16 & wouldn’t change it for the world. I’ve worked as a lead preschool teacher for 19 children ages 3-4 years, as well as a full-time nanny for infants, toddlers, and children of school age. Each position I’ve been in has exceeded 3+ years. All of the families I’ve cared for have produced wonderful relationships that still last today. I’m CPR & First Aid certified, as well as certified in child development. I‘m fun-loving, patient, resilient, trustworthy & extremely responsible. I have excellent references from the families I’ve been blessed to work for. I am someone who loves to create, be outside, nurture children, etc. At the same time, I understand the importance of structure in order to ensure a safe/secure environment that parents can rely on & children can thrive in. I’m open to different schedules, needs, & more so don’t hesitate to ask! I look forward to hearing from you & can’t wait to meet my new little friends!

The most important part about being a nanny...

Creating a strong bond with the children where they feel safe, secure and loved. Nurturing their needs, minds, and creative outlets. As well as ensuring the parents feel confident in my abilities to love and care for their children as they would.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my kiddos I cared for for years went through the stage of asking “Why?” about everything. This was the most “Why?” I have encountered in my life though. I mean at least 200 times a day. No matter the answer you gave him, his inquisitive mind would return the same question...”WHY?” One day he asked me why about something and after 3 different answers I gave him - it still wasn’t sufficient and he once again looked at me and asked “Why?” I was stumped. I didn’t have anymore answers. And so I looked at him and said, “I don’t know, Aiden, Why?” Almost immediately, I could tell by his expression he was taken aback and instantly began pondering the “Why?” himself. It was actually super adorable and his mom and me still like to joke about it. He’s older now but extremely extremely smart... and I bet it’s because he never stopped asking “Why?”.

Emily R. - Seeking Work in Ventura

Live-In Part-Time Nanny Available in Ventura, CA: Emily R.

I have been providing private childcare since I was 16 years old. I have provided care for over 5 families throughout the years with an array of children. The youngest was 6 months old, the oldest was 13 years old.
I have been a camp counselor for a non-profit called Camp Kesem for 3 years. Through that experience I provided support and care for children ages ranging from 6-16 years old. My last year at the camp I was on the administration team, being responsible for the well being of the counselors and staff as well as the campers.
I am young-hearted and like to be goofy and have fun, yet I am also very mature for my age and take child care very seriously. I understand that I am not only there to make sure they are safe and having fun but I also act as a role model and someone who the child could learn from and look up to. I am very active and prioritize creative and outdoor games and activities.
