Find an after school nanny in Merrifield, VA

Hi! My name is Sanem, I have 3+ years of childcare experience in the U. S., caring for infants, toddlers, and young children. Before moving to the U. S., I worked as a high school History teacher in Turkey, which helped me develop patience, communication skills, and a strong understanding of children's needs. I truly enjoy being part of children's everyday lives - creating fun activities, reading, spending time outdoors, and helping them learn and grow through play. I always aim to provide a safe, caring, and positive environment where children feel comfortable and supported. I am CPR & First Aid certified, have reliable transportation, a clean driving record, and strong references available.

I have professional pediatric nursing experience from Thailand, where I provided comprehensive care for infants, children, and adolescents in a hospital setting. My responsibilities included monitoring vital signs, administering medications, preparing medical equipment, assisting doctors during procedures, and providing emotional support to both young patients and their families. I cared for children with various conditions, such as fever, respiratory infections, dehydration, post-operative cases, and chronic illnesses. I ensured safety at all times, followed infection control protocols strictly, and responded quickly to any changes in a child’s condition. In addition to clinical tasks, I also assisted with feeding, bathing, comforting anxious children, and helping them feel safe and calm during treatment. I communicated with parents clearly and compassionately to keep them informed about their child’s progress. This experience strengthened my ability to multitask, remain calm under pressure, and care for children with patience, empathy, and professionalism. I am confident that my pediatric nursing background allows me to provide safe, attentive, and high-quality care in any childcare or part-time caregiving role.
