"I am happy to provide a reference for Judie, who has been babysitting our son since he was 1 year old — he is now 4. Over the past several years, she has truly become part of our family. Judie is incredibly caring, dependable, and trustworthy. She always shows up when she says she will, which as a parent gives us tremendous peace of mind. She consistently goes above and beyond in her care, making sure our son feels safe, supported, and engaged. She is very independent, knowledgeable, and confident in her abilities. Judie handles conflict calmly and appropriately, and we fully trust her judgment in any situation. We feel incredibly fortunate to have her in our son’s life and would highly recommend her to any family."

"Judie is very kind and caring. She raised our daughter from 4 months old till she was 2 years 4 months. Judie is trustworthy and creative. She proactively plans activities for the overall kid's development. Judie maintains a clean and healthy environment. We were very comfortable leaving our daughter with Judie for hours together. Judie brings different toys and books that help in a child's growth. Judie is patient and always maintains a calm composure even when our daughter was throwing tantrums at her. Judie always has the safety and well-being of the kid on top of her mind and makes parents aware of the necessary safety steps. Judie adjusts to the needs of the parents and the child and she is quite flexible and quickly learns about the workings of the house. When she gets time, she helps with household chores. Judie not only bonds with the kids but also with the whole family, friends, grandparents, and relatives."

From day to day activities, light housekeeping, transportation to homework help. I knew when I came home everything would be taken care of. "

"Ms. Judie hasn’t been apart of my families life for a couple years now. My two boys (4&7) absolutely loved her. Some of her many strengths I noticed while she worked with my family is how great she is at multitasking, it could be helping with homework, helping cook dinner she alway/ was really good at getting to job done. She is also extremely punctual and hasn’t ever been late picking up dropping off my oldest from school. She is patient and kind, if we never would have moved out of the area, I would definitely still have Ms Judie around. "

I unfortunately had to step away from teaching to care for my husband for some time.
I missed my job and especially the children, so in 2014 I decided to become a Nanny. I'm happy I did!
I've worked with many wonderful families the last 11 + years and look forward to working with new families in the years to come.

My experience with special needs children...

I have experience with children born with a drug addiction, ADHD, Autism, & aggressiveness.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I can not pinpoint one particular moment to share regarding just one child. I've had many remarkable moments with every single child I worked with. It would be unfair for me to just share about one of my children I worked with.
If you would like for me to share with you though, feel free to ask on a more personal level, please.
Thank you .:)
