Find nannies in The Plains, VA

About Linda P. EDIT I have always enjoyed working with children. I started babysitting in junior high and by the time I was in high school I had an afternoon job at a local day care center. I went on to get my teaching degree in Elementary Education and taught five years of third grade and a year of kindergarten. After having three children of my own and taking some time off I went back to teaching but decided to try preschool instead and ended up teaching 8 years of it. After teaching elementary I was surprised at how much I loved working with the little ones. I was the lead teacher for a 3 and 4 year old class for 5 years and my last three years I taught a 5 day a week k-4 position. Over the last 10 years I’ve been doing part-time /full time Nanny jobs. I have worked for over 18 families and have taken care of over 41 children ranging from newborn to 12 years olds. I have enjoyed using my teaching skills and early childhood training to create a loving , nurturing, fun and safe environment for each child I take care of. I appreciate all the opportunities I have had to work with such wonderful parents and their amazing children.

I have told that I'm really good with kids. I just love being with kids, either working or playing with them. I came from a big family. Taking care people, especially with kids, comes naturally. I used to babysit for my aunts. I am experienced in cooking, cleaning, doing grocery, and other household chores. Although, I am not familiar with infant care, you can trust me in taking care toddlers and older kids. I love doing activities, arts and crafts and even help them with their homeworks if needed. I am currently working in a doctor's office as a medical assistant. I am offering service after work, which is after 5pm until midnight on the weekdays and any time on the weekends.

In addition to having fun with the children, I am very educational minded and I teach them at all stages of development--sitting, walking, talking, ABC's, numbers, colors, shapes, reading, manners, respect, thankfulness, kindness, sharing, etc. Kids love me and I love them!

Hi! My name is Summer, and I'm a dedicated professional nanny with over 10+ years of experience caring for children from infancy through school age. I'm also a proud mom to a 15-year-old daughter and a 5-year-old son. When my son was in preschool , I also worked as a substitute one day a week, further deepening my passion for early childhood education. I'm currently seeking a loving family to grow with-one where I can build a lasting, trusting relationship and contribute to a nurturing, enriching environment for their children. I offer much more than childcare: I support families by handling meal prep, children's laundry, light housekeeping, pick-ups and drop-offs, and any day-to-day kid-related tasks. I especially enjoy planning fun adventures and outings that keep little ones engaged, active, and happy.
