Find nannies in Arabi, LA

I am a parent whom is great with children and their friends. I am personable, respectful and an excellent cook. I can clean adequately and have a very good sense of boundaries and a knack for overcoming minor issues. I have the mechanical abilities and growing skillsets to provide top tier service with a smile. My children are 17, 13, and 10 and currently live abroad. I work mornings so I have time to utilize in the evening. Empty nest syndrome is bringing me to expand my vast skills where they might prove useful. I have experience and patience with dogs, cats, fish, frogs, insects etc. I love dogs just can't have any but I offer part-time love for them. And of course not just children and pets, but grandparents and elder in-laws too. I have a perfect driving record if you need an errand run. Need your house watched or checked-in on? I have reliable transportation and truly the best customer service for any job. If I've applied for your gig it's within my skillset and I look forward to meeting :)

Hey all. I graduated from Tulane in May 2024, and after a year of traveling and nannying, am back in New Orleans for the forseeable future! I am super passionate about working with kids, and am looking to find awesome families to nanny for when I move back. My schedule is currently very flexible, and I am interested in both full-time and part-time work (occasional babysitting okay too. E.g. date night, sick day). I have my own transport. 
I have extensive experience (8+ years), which includes working with newborns up to age 14, children with special needs (both verbal and nonverbal), multiples (e.g. siblings with large age gaps, twins), tutoring up to grade six, and a specialty in keeping toddlers in check (success varies depending on length of nap- lol). I also create DIY "summer camps" for kids. My most recent endeavor included keeping eight five-year-olds entertained for days at a time (activities, park, pool, crafts, positive engagement). I take a play-based, screen-free approach to nannying and easily adapt my techniques based on parents' specifications and the child's needs. I believe in holding boundaries while also holding space for very real feelings (E.g., "No, we cannot get ice cream, and I know that's sad. It's okay to flop down on the ground, cry, and feel angry. Take your time, I am here.") AED and CPR (infant, child, adult) certified. I have a ton of references, from New Orleans and elsewhere, and can share the most relevant ones with you (based on age, need of child, etc).
