Hello! I am a professional nanny with extensive experience caring for children of all ages. I have worked in the childcare field for about nine years. I have cared for infants as young as two months old and teenagers up to 15 years old, including many ages in between. I have learned so much about caring for children during my multiple previous nanny jobs. I have also worked with children in different settings, like my three and a half years working as a Sunday School teacher, and my job as a childrens’ parkour coach. Throughout these years of experience, I have developed specialized child care skills, a genuine love of caring for children, and strong connections with the families I have worked for. My ultimate goal is to enrich your childrens’ lives and provide assistance for you in any way I can. I understand how chaotic a house full of Read more children, pets, and chores to be done can be, especially in a crazy time like the year 2020. I have learned to be calm through the chaos and excel at multitasking. That being said, I am happy to help your family with cooking, cleaning, running errands, pet care, and tutoring, in addition to childcare. Let’s collaborate and figure out what works best for your situation. I have been diligent about social distancing and following COVID-19 protocols during this time. I am CPR and First Aid certified and have excellent references. I have a clean driving record and am comfortable driving children if needed.
