A little bit about me

Hello, my name is LaVerne, and I’m seeking a full-time position as a Child Caregiver. I’m a dependable, patient, and nurturing professional with over 20 years of hands-on experience in childcare and household support.

I’ve cared for children of all ages—from infants to teens—and worked in both single and multi-family households. My background includes roles as a nanny, teacher, house manager, and personal assistant. I’m experienced with children from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds, and I adapt easily to each family’s unique needs. I also have experience supporting children with special needs and those requiring help with daily living activities.

I’m CPR, First Aid, and BLS certified, and I take a warm, attentive approach to every child in my care. Supporting strong family bonds is at the heart of my work.

Please feel free to contact me for more information. References and a resume are available upon request.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important aspect of being a nanny is creating a nurturing and safe environment for the children in my care. This involves actively engaging with them, meeting their physical needs, supporting their development, and maintaining open communication with parents to understand and align with their specific needs and expectations.

My experience with special needs children...

Working with special needs children has been both incredibly rewarding and challenging. It requires patience, empathy, and a deep understanding, as each child has unique needs and behaviors. My approach involved building rapport, establishing consistent routines, using positive reinforcement, celebrating small victories, and adapting to their individual communication styles. By creating a supportive environment, I aimed to help them thrive and reach their full potential. While there were moments of frustration, the joy of witnessing their progress and celebrating their unique strengths was profoundly fulfilling.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite moments as a nanny include seeing a child master a new skill I helped them develop, witnessing a breakthrough in their behavior, and receiving heartfelt appreciation from parents for my efforts.
