"Courtney currently takes care of our two girls (3 years and 7 months) and has for the last two months. Our daughters ADORE Courtney — they both warmed to her quickly and get so excited when she walks through the door every morning.
Courtney oversees all care for our girls — food prep, meals, playtime, naps. She is super communicative and such a joy to work with. She’s creative and has so much energy, always coming up with new ways to entertain and help with our girls’ development. We cannot recommend Courtney highly enough!"

More About Me
Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...
In the past I worked in a Public school system as a special education Paraprofessional as well as say registered behavioral therapy technician for an independent autism company.
Activities I enjoy doing with children...
I like to think of my self as a hands on nanny! I think that less electronics is more. So I enjoy arts and crafts, reading, outdoor activities, STEM activities( science experiments mostly, and out and about trips.
The most important part about being a nanny...
To me is not only the memories you make with the children but also the way you are help them grow into young adults. As a nanny it is our job to help foster creativity, growth, and independence in children.
My experience with special needs children...
I was a special education Paraprofessional and I worked with push the emotional and behavioral support team as well as the learning disabled team. I was a Registered Behavioral therapist for a little while with a independent autism company.
The most important part about being a nanny...
Is the moment when you realize that the child sees you as part of the family. I know to the outside we are in essence the hired help. But to the child we are the friend, a part of the family, the lap to sit in, the comforting adult presence, the shoulder to cry on, and the person they confide in.
