  • Hello Parents! I have versatile experience in child care where I have managed small and large groups of children due to my past job in a Daycare and YMCA. Also I have experience in working one on one in a private home setting with 1 through 3+ kids at once. I have cared for children of all age range starting from new born, toddlers & school-age, I take on all childcare task as far as meal prep, homework, crafts, in & outdoor activities, soft play, educational development and transportation to and from scheduled activities. My availability is very flexible to travel with family, date nights, late stays and overnights. In addition I have my own vehicle and I also provide a car seat if needed, I am fully vaccinated and American Red Cross Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED trained and certified. I am responsible, reliable and strive to give the best care and to ensure that your child is in good hands and enjoys everyday spent in my care. I chose to become a nanny due to my years experience giving children an opportunity to be imaginative and creative. The best part for me is watching them learn, grow and celebrate each new stage in their life right alongside them. Trying to find someone suitable to care for your child is hard on its own, I will be more than happy to listen to all concerns and instructions to ensure that you and your child are most comfortable, Especially during COVID and Flu season I will put forward an extra effort to ensure your household is safe.
