I’ve been with my current family since their first born was 3 months old. He turns two next month and they have added a little girl to their family. She will be 1 in June. I’ve established remarkable bonds with both children and will be sad to be moving on but eager to share my talents with a new family. I can provide letters of recommendation and professional references Upon request. My strengths include establishing routine, cultivating and encouraging creativity, showing patience and compassion and dependability. Im a big advocate of reading with children of all ages And volunteer with a nonprofit reading to and play with children living in shelters. Id love to meet your family and see if I might be a good fit in your home. Thank You in advance for your consideration.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Is establishing meaningful bonds with the family you care for.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I always enjoy being a part of special moments I get to share with the families I support. A particular memory that comes to mind is being there when my bosses brought their second child home from the hospital. I had been caring for their son since mom finished her maternity leave at 3 months. Shortly after I started she found out she was expecting baby #2. Being there to witness their 2 year old son meet his sister for the first time was truly precious. It was a time when I really felt part of the family and it is a moment in my career that I reflect upon often.
