Hello, My name is Sharon and I have over 5 years experience working as a nanny. Most of my time was working with one family where I cared for children from zero months to school aged kids. I would be happy to provide assistance to young families who need a trustworthy, dedicated and dependable individual to assist with childcare needs.
I have been caring for children just about my whole life. As a Nanny, mother or grandmother. My nanny-style, think Jo Frost, but with a grandmothers heart.
I am a very compassionate, patient and responsible individual. I am dedicated to helping others. I have background in healthcare , customer service, teaching or working with people ;hence, I have developed the skills needed to provide excellent care of support. Experience communicating with patients , customers and other professionals teaches caregivers how to remain respectful and professional in different situations. I am also great listener and very interactive.One who takes time to understand a person's needs, concerns and preferences. I am also patient as every individual requires different level of support and attention. I am dependable and able to follow instructions while maintaining safety and cleanliness ,treat people with dignity and respect. Overall, I care about the well being of others and take pride in making people feel comfortable, valued and safe. I am a great cook.
Hello parents! My name is Annie- a native of the D.C. area, I live in Baltimore, have family in Silver Spring, and commute to NW D.C. so I’m happy to pick up jobs anywhere in the area! What I bring to the table: •Nearly 20 years of experience with childcare and household management for preschool-to-high school aged kids and families. I was with my previous family for 14 years and have been with my current family since 2019. •Intuitive and fast thinking- I am able to quickly troubleshoot situations and navigate decisions without handholding. Fixing problems before they become problems. •Almost spotless driving record (one camera ticket in the last few years), plus a squeaky clean criminal record. I am very comfortable driving, navigating rush hour, parallel parking, etc. I have my own transportation. •Funny, down to earth, and strong in my convictions- would like to work with a family on the same wavelength. •I love to cook and am familiar with many different cuisines. Comfortable in kosher, vegetarian/vegan, and gluten-free/allergy kitchens. •Happy to work with families and kids of all types! LGBTQ+, polyam, gnc, families and kids welcome. The downsides: •I am only available for occasional or as-needed work. I currently work part-time with a rolling schedule so I have decent availability but cannot commit to a set schedule. •I am a night owl and prefer to work afternoons and evenings. Late nights are not a problem. •Funny, down to earth, and strong in my convictions- so I’m unfortunately not willing to work with folks whose values don’t match my own :) When not corralling kids, I am in the garden (or planning next year’s garden), elbow deep in dyeing yarn, at my weaving loom with a podcast on, or watching local music. Catch me at your local maker’s market 🧶 Hope to her from you soon!
“Arrived on time. Our toddler immediately enjoyed playing with Annie. Great experience for parents and child.”
