The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny...

One day I forgot I had a piece of chocolate in my back pocket and I put my hand in my pocket at the end of the day, and pulled out what looked like poop from my behind, and all the kids started yelling, "Ms. Straight has poop on her finger," just at the dismissal bell. They ran up the hallway screaming this, with me running behind them saying, "It's not poop!" until I reached the principal at the end of the hallway, at which time I licked the chocolate off my fingers and said, "See? I told you it wasn't poop." He shook his head as usual.

Heather J. - Seeking Work in Atlanta

Full-Time Child Care Provider Available in Atlanta, GA: Heather J.

Hello Potential Family,

i am a warm, experienced educator with more than 20 years of experience in art education, my work has included teaching in schools, fine art centers, Art Camps, my own after-school art business, and homeschool settings. Along the way, I also worked as a nanny while raising my daughter, giving me a firsthand understanding of balancing work, family, and the realities of single motherhood. A fine oil painting artist and former Girl Scout Troop Leader, I’ve always valued the connection that develops when children have the space to learn, create, and explore. I’m now looking to focus more directly on childcare, bringing creativity and experience into a child’s day through art, homework, conversation, or play. CPR and First Aid certified, I’m seeking a part-time after-school and evening position, ideally 25–30 hours per week. Looking forward to begin a initial interview to see if we would make a good partnership in caring for your precious bigs and littles.
