- As a nanny, I provide attentive, full-time care by offering age-appropriate activities based on each child’s needs and developmental stage. I supervise at all times, engaging with the child through play, learning moments, and consistent emotional support. I pay close attention to details, including preparing meals while following any dietary restrictions, and maintaining a clean and organized environment that’s safe for the child to explore. I value clear, open communication with parents and remain flexible to the family’s needs. In addition, I handle light housekeeping tasks and can run errands when necessary.
