A little bit about me

Hello! I am a career nanny currently working part time with an amazing family! (I'm also a former preschool and daycare teacher, religious education teacher, former co-foster parent, and former home facilitator, mother of two!) I feel so blessed to have been on this journey with my current nanny family for so long but am really hoping to get back to working with a younger crew...infants or very young toddlers. My nanny family leaves some pretty big shoes to fill so I am definitely taking my time and looking for a perfect match! While I recognize that I have listed a start date, I would like to provide my current family with 4 weeks of notice if possible so my start date would fluctuate. However, I am flexible for the right fit.
I am looking for probably +/- 40 hours, depending on the situation. (If I can work it around my current family, I am happy to consider another part time position, otherwise, closer to full time.)

Please reach out if you'd like to chat!

More About Me

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

I am a former daycare and preschool assistant teacher. That is actually how I heard my calling in life! The daycare was located in North Quincy.

I also help out teaching religious education at my church as time allows!

I have worked as a nanny for over 20 years and have had the pleasure of working with 10 families, long term, through out my time!

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I really enjoy outings with my nanny kids and aim for at least one every day! They could be simple like nature walks, spending a day at a playground or checking out local libraries...all the way to more complex like trips to local farms, aquariums, museums, etc. I find my natural way of getting out every day often compliments families and their busy work schedules - sometimes mom and dad just need or want to be home during their time off of work - sort of a win/win for kiddos that get plenty of on the go learning time with Val and plenty of home time with mom/dad!

The most important part about being a nanny...

I feel very honored and blessed to be given the responsibility of working so closely with families. I do not take it lightly. I know that finding a great fit for your family is no easy feat and I'm so grateful to all of the families that have selected me!

My experience with special needs children...

I have worked with nanny kids with asthma, having to give regular breathing treatments.

I've worked with a few children considered on the Autism spectrum, though my experience here is not vast.

I am also well-versed in ADHD.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite nanny moment was when a family I had previously worked with asked me to move to France with them. What an honor!

On a comical note, one of my nanny kids, aged 6 at the time and completely incapable of sarcasm, out of the blue he asked me, "So, what was life like in the 1900s?" I felt like I should pull my covered wagon over and let him hop in the back to take him for a ride on the Oregon Trail. 😆
