A little bit about me

I am currently a nanny for twins, a role I truly love, as it allows me to support children as they grow, learn, and develop their own unique personalities. I will be relocating to Sterling at the end of April and am excited to continue my career in childcare there.
I previously worked as a preschool teacher, I strongly believe in hands-on, imaginative play and prefer screen-free activities that encourage curiosity, problem-solving, and creativity.
In my personal time, I enjoy relaxing with a good book. I am a non-smoker and do not drink. I also have two kittens, Freya and Scar, who are incredibly sweet. I am passionate about creating a safe, loving, and enriching environment where children feel supported and encouraged to thrive.

"Jamie has been very reliable! My 3 kids adore her. They actually have cancelled plans to be able to see her when she comes over. Great cook, responsible in the kitchen. She gets the kids moving! They clean up after themselves on her watch, and she plays ACTIVELY with them. I enthusiastically recommend Jamie for any work with children- she’s an asset."

"Jamie has watched my twin boys for the last year, starting at 3 months old until now 15 months. She has been the biggest blessing for our family. I always feel my boys are safe and well cared for with her. When they were infants, they were always clean, fed on our schedule, napped, and content. Now as toddlers, they light up when she comes in and cries when she leaves. Jamie has been wonderful in helping the boys with their milestones, teaching them signs, words, and working with them on feeding themselves, walking, etc... She gets outside with them every day, weather permitting. She reads and sings, and has been respectful of our wishes to avoid screens/TV. Jamie has been very reliable, punctual, and responsive to check-ins throughout the day. She has also been great with our two dogs- she takes care of our whole family! Overall, Jamie is upbeat, energetic, and truly a light. We will miss her dearly but am excited for her next steps. We could not recommend her highly enough!"
