"Bethany is AMAZING! I’ve never met a young woman more emotionally intelligent and compassionate than her. She really was made to be a nanny. Our baby girl absolutely adores her and we do too! She started with us when our daughter was 3 months. In the time she was with us she taught our daughter basic sign language so she could communicate and helped her develop cognitive skills that mirror those beyond her age group. Bethany is a miracle worker and I will recommend her to everyone who asks. I so wish we could’ve kept her to ourselves!"

More About Me
Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...
Volunteer with several local children and caregiver groups. Most recently helped facilitate a children’s program with the Washington county clerical department for queer families.
Activities I enjoy doing with children...
With infants and toddlers I enjoy age appropriate Montessori-adjacent activities to improve motor skills and develop speech. With older children I enjoy age appropriate activities such as crafts, board games and outdoor activities.
The most important part about being a nanny...
The most important part of being a nanny is helping children develop skills they can use throughout their lives while fostering caring relationships between families. I pride myself on being a compassionate and communicative nanny, while also focusing on family structures and children’s development.
My experience with special needs children...
I have experience with Autism, PDA profiles and Down’s syndrome as well as bipolar 1 and depression in younger children. I practice calm, reconstructive care to help children develop safe coping skills.
The most important part about being a nanny...
My favorite nanny moments are always the ones that make the children laugh and smile. Joy is contagious isn’t it?
