Booked by 4 families in Hanover, MD

I am here to fill in the gaps, occasionally acting as a mother’s helper, and fully vaccinated! 20 + years of experience as a nanny/caregiver, who is BLS/CPR Certified with additional certifications to serve in healthcare. With that being said, I am superb at multitasking with kids of all ages, including pre-mature, middle school age, and teenagers in addition to having more than one child in my care. Major help is provided with meal preps, for example, breakfast, lunch, and dinner including assistance with homework assignments, projects, if necessary. Parents, my job is to make your daily plus and I am open to driving kids to and from activities in family cars. I am very passionate about my job, which leads to me being very reliable, loyal, humble, dedicated, trustworthy which initially helpful to have honest open communication with both parents. I love to teach, discipline, and interact with the kids at all times, with lots of patience. Priorities are to be discussed with parents, to make sure that I meet each and everyone needs at all given times, for example: making sure the kids environment are always safe, favorite activities, bed routines, allergy reaction, and if any medication is needed to be administered at my present time...Parents, if you are looking for a fun, respectable, responsible, reliable, humble trustworthy caregiver! Remember, I am here for you! Why?? To make your life routine with childcare a bit more relaxing and stress-free!

Valentia is fantastic! 1st time sitting for us and she's coming back tomorrow!!
