Hello, I am seeking a part-time nanny position with over 10years of experience caring for newborns and school-aged children. My expertise includes engaging their age-appropriate activities such as playing games, reading books, crafting, and exploring outdoors while ensuring their safety well being. I have successfully completed child development courses during my college tenure, which has equipped me with valuable knowledge on supporting young minds to grow holistically through playful learning experiences tailored to each individual's needs & preferences. Aside from that, my CPR/AED certification protects against unforeseen circumstances under my supervision. In addition, I am a highly punctual, hardworking, trustworthy caregiver who takes pride in putting extra effort into maintaining cleanliness and an organized environment, including tidying up after little ones finish enjoying themselves by picking up scattered around different areas within the designated workspace. I can help with light housekeeping, cooking, picking up the kids from school and laundry. I am looking forward to hearing from mommies & daddies!

“We’ve been working with Paan for several weeks now, and she’s amazing! She came in the first day and knew exactly how to engage our toddler and feed/burp/soothe our infant with very little guidance from us. She has a very warm and bright presence that is wonderful to be around and is a huge part of why our kids love her. When we need a backup nanny she is one of the first people I text. Thank you paan!”
