I’m a mom of 5 kids and grandma to 10 kids between the ages of 2 and 17. I have many years of nanny experience and I was a stay at home mom for many years as well. I am easy going, flexible, warm and caring. I am CPR certified and a very safe driver with a clean driving record. I love to read with kids and get them outside. I am currently only looking for occasional jobs.
I am a certified teacher who has 25 years of experience as an educator. I offer child care and senior services. I am certified in ages birth to six grade. I can tutor your child in reading and writing. In addition, I am skilled at addressing the social-emotional needs of children. In addition, I have provided senior care for my dad and grandmother. I can provide services such as cooking, running errands, and companionship ( walks, playing board games, etc.).
I am a Professional Nanny with over 15 years experience taking care of children of all ages, including multiple siblings at the same time. I take care of all children as if they were my own. I am nurturing, caring, and will always have their best interest in mind. I always look forward to meeting with parents to truly customize the experience, after all, no 2 kids are the same! Discussions include food preferences, personal habits, restrictions, etc. Maintaining a safe and positive environment is very important to me. I enjoy preparing various activities, playing games, and meal preparation. I can be available to help with laundry, grocery shopping, assist your children with their studies as well as assist in pick ups and drop offs as needed. I know it's not easy to leave your children alone with someone new, but rest assured, they will be in great, comforting, and patient hands. I look forward to meeting with you and your family soon!
My name is Hope, I love working with kids and helping their family and I am also a twins and I have three dog named Woody and Blue and Ben and their are Labrador and labradoodle and this is my first babysitter because I am going to post University in the Fall to studies Early Childhood education.
I am 29 years old, live in shelton, and am currently in my graduate program for clinical mental health and I am in my internship phase to become a licensed professional counselor. It is really hard to work full time due to the time I have to put into my school and internship. I am looking to do nanny work so I am able to have some income while having flexibility. I have taken care of kids for 12+ years. I was a nanny for a family of 4 kids and 3 dogs for 3+ years. They were all under the age of 8 when I first started with them, and the 2 youngest girls were twins! I have always loved kids and have 2 nieces that I adore (one is 3 and one is 1). I have experience in school settings and psychiatric hospital settings. I am dependable and trustworthy. I absolutely love kids. I am always willing to help out around the house! I'm great with all ages and enjoy playing games, coloring, going outside etc! I am looking for part time work. Schedule is pretty open. I have an ESA golden retriever female Kona who will be 5. Because i have a dog, I cannot be gone for more than 5 hours at a time. She is great with kids and other dogs as well. Well behaved, does not jump or bark. If any family is up for it, she can come with me and I would be able to do more hours! I am very neat and organized and will always clean up, you won't even notice that a dog has been there :)
