Tetiana 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Tetiana. I have about 4 years of experience working as a nanny and caring for children in a safe, patient, and responsible way. I enjoy helping children with daily routines, playtime, meals, reading, creative activities, and light learning activities. I am calm, attentive, reliable, and organized. Families can count on me to follow instructions, keep children safe, and create a positive and comfortable environment. I have experience with childcare during the day, evenings, and weekends. I am also comfortable helping with light household tasks related to the children, such as preparing simple meals, tidying play areas, and keeping routines on schedule. I truly enjoy working with kids and supporting families when they need extra help.

Me and my husband extremely happy with the care and dedication our nanny provides. She is reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring, always creating a safe and positive environment. Her ability to engage, teach, and support development has made a noticeable difference. We fully trust her and highly recommend her to any family looking for exceptional childcare.
