A little bit about me

Hi! I am Holly, a local career nanny with over 20 years of experience, specializing in infant/toddler care.
I really enjoy every aspect of helping kids grow and learn and explore as they go through all stages of life.
I have nannied for a few different families and babysat for countless. I have also worked at a family owned home daycare for 2 years. Following that, I worked with a family of two children, for five years. (Ages newborn-6 years). That brings us to my current position, which I have had for the past two years now, as a full time nanny for one incredible little girl. But she will be starting preschool in late August, so my schedule will be opening back up once again. The families that I have worked with have really become like family to me and vice versa.
I would love to find another family that I can bond and grow with.
Wonderful references from local families available upon request!
Looking forward to the next beautiful adventures!
Take care!

Aside from the past 8 years nannying for families full time, I have also worked at a home daycare and took care of up to 12 infants and toddlers there. As well as many many babysitting jobs going back 20 years.

Arts and crafts, dancing, singing, reading, exploring outdoors, walking, going to playgrounds, swimming, building with various toys/materials, general age appropriate playtime activities.

The most important part about being a nanny...

To me the most important part of being a nanny is nurturing the children, and always keeping their self esteem high. Letting them know that they are seen, heard, loved and valued little humans. And keeping them safe.

My experience with special needs children...

Low spectrum autistic

The most important part about being a nanny...

Oh boy there are so many moments I could talk about! Funny moments with potty training! Lol! This little girl especially would want to wear all of her jewelry while potty training in the nude. She looked like a little queen sitting upon her throne!
Also, the silly and off the wall dance parties we would have. They were the best! Sometimes even during mealtime.
Speaking of “off the wall”, some of the things that come out of their mouths are just too funny.
Not to mention helping them learning to talk, walk, ride bikes, try new food, dress themselves! All of the things.. love it all.
