"Phila is simply incredible, and I am writing to let everyone else know how amazing she is! We ADORE Phila, and although she is no longer our au pair, she is still a huge part of our family and my children's lives. Phila is a positive force and she connected instantly with my children. Phila is someone who can easily take charge and get things done. I never worried about my kids when they were with Phila because I knew they respected and listened to Phila. She was always engaged and present when she was with the kids. Phila is very organized and easily tracked my kids' complex schedules, made sure they had healthy snacks, and the right equipment, and got to activities on time. Phila is an incredible driver and always practices safe driving practices. Hiring Phila was one of the best decisions we made for our family, and we feel fortunate that she is still a part of our lives. We give Phila our highest recommendation and we are happy to provide additional reference information."

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

English teacher -South Korea
Au Pair-Washington DC
Nanny- South Africa
Netball coach- South Africa

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Puzzles, reading, arts & crafts, slime making, dough playing/building, board games, movie nights, hide & seek

The most important part about being a nanny...

Compassion. Patience. Remembering that kids are kids and will sometimes act out out of frustration or learning to express their feelings, communicate frustrations and to feel safe and understood, never just to be “mean” or “bratty” so having the patience and compassion during tantrums and other moments, goes a long way!!

My experience with special needs children...

Worked with a 4 year old boy on the autism spectrum and an 11yr old boy with ADHD.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Putting together science projects and presenting them at school, screaming their names out at school concerts and plays, teaching them South African childhood games, playing dress up, long drives to interstate competitions for sports (ski, diving, ballet, gymnastics, tennis, swimming, softball, basketball) and coming up with Halloween costume and makeup ideas!!!
