I have my CPR/First Aid certification and have had the pleasure of taking care of 3 year old twins with special needs, a 1 1/2 year old for 6 months, providing transportation for a 4 & 6 year old, as well as occasional/date night sitting for kids of all ages. I love children and love having the opportunity to take care of kids and watch them grow.

Hi my name is Jeremiah (for hiring purposes I’ve used my family name Jamie). I have been a nanny for over 14 years. I have experience working with children birth to adolescents. I currently work in higher education and with preschoolers. My background is in child development and early childhood education for almost 20 years, with a specialization in trauma studies. I am in school, working on my master’s thesis in human development and looking to gain perspective with my time here (with you). I love the littles, babies are my niche. I incorporate a lot of structure and developmentally appropriate design for consistency in care based on family dynamics. I am pro active in holistic wellness *Psa* Infant care and/or special needs will be at higher rate listed. Please message before booking. I am not on daily to update my calendar as I have full schedule that fluctuates. It may reflect changes due to last bookings and may not reflect my current availability.

Jamie was fantastic with our 2- and 3-year-old! I was traveling to California for work, and she cared for them at our hotel while I was away. She came prepared with a fun kit of activities that kept them engaged and entertained throughout the day. As a child development expert, Jamie clearly knows what she’s doing with children. She has a warm, bubbly personality, and both of my kids felt comfortable with her almost immediately. It gave me great peace of mind knowing they were in such capable and caring hands. I would absolutely hire Jamie again and highly recommend her to other families!
