I am a loving and energetic nanny with 15+ years of nanny, certified newborn care specialist, daycare, and babysitting experience. I have worked as both a live-out and live-in nanny. **I am currently seeking only temporary/short term work (ie date nights, nanny coverage, etc.)** Taking care of children is my passion and though I’m good with all ages, I particularly love working with newborns, up to early school aged children. I’m well versed in milestones for social, fine and gross motor, cognitive, physical, and emotional skill development and work with my children to reach them. I have also potty trained the children in my primary previous family. I’m CPR and First Aid trained, a nonsmoker, and have a valid driver’s license. I place a strong emphasis on education, but believe in a holistic approach and include dancing, yoga, meditation, singing/music, arts and crafts, science, and acting in my child care. I love to do extra things for my families, including walking dogs (I love animals!), setting appointments for the child(ren) and dogs, date nights, etc. I have excellent communication skills and have great rapports with my previous families, in part, due to our open and honest dialogues. I am flexible and highly adaptable to accommodate my families when changes arise. References available.
