Hi families! I’m a patient, warm, and reliable nanny and babysitter with many years of paid childcare experience . I love creating a safe, happy, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable, cared for, and genuinely enjoy their time. I’m very attentive, communicative, and good at following each family’s routine, whether that means playtime, reading, art, walks, meals, bath time, or bedtime. I have experience with children of all ages, including newborns, infants, toddlers, and older kids. Before nannying, I was a kindergarten teacher in my home country, and I’m also CPR certified. My references can speak very highly of my work and the care I provide. I’m currently available for evenings, weekends, date nights, and occasional last-minute babysitting. The family I’ve been working with for the past 3 years will be moving soon, which is why I’m now opening up my availability. My rates are flexible depending on the job.

I’m very happy with Gicely. She’s been watching our baby on a regular basis and has been punctual, polite, reliable, and flexible. Our baby warmed up to her right away and she is so sweet and patient.
