I love my career as a professional nanny because I adore children! They inspire me to see the beauty and miracles of everyday life. I'm happy to be a very positive, creative, and charismatic person who has a special gift with children, and a natural maternal instinct. The loving interaction, safety, and exceptional care of children are my deepest passions. I've had the privilege of being a career nanny for over 15 years. My extensive childcare experience began as a college au pair for a fellow student-close friend. My professional credentials include nanny shares, twins/multiples, travel services, mother's helper, provisions for special needs care (Leukemia, Dyslexia, ASD, ADD, Asthma, Anxiety, Depression, and Hearing Impaired), preschool instruction, resort activities coordinator for Disney World guests, and dance instruction to children ages 3 years to adolescence. I have Early Child Growth and Development certification (10 crs), CPR/First Aid, Wilson H.S. ECGD Student of Read more the Month (‘95), Washington State Senate Page/School, (‘92,‘93), noted on the U of W Dean's List (Pre-Med/Biology, Dance, ‘95-‘97), willing to TrustLine, RIE/NCS proficient, and Child Psychology focused in further assistance to families. Traditional Reiki I and diligent green holistic practices are also privy to my standard of care. My special skills and interests dwell among the healing, visual, literary, and performing arts. As a singer, trained dancer, thespian, poet and writer, it would be my pleasure to introduce and share my artistic talents and creative endeavors with your young. Every child deserves age appropriate interactive play and developmental growth activities that are designed to enhance a stimulating and well-rounded learning environment. My experiences have taught me that each child is special and unique. I'm honored to inspire an infant's smile, witness a child's innocence, profoundly influence child growth and development, nurture the progression into adolescence, and eventually, adulthood maturity. I trust and take pride in the fact that the impact I make is a beneficial contribution to society. Regardless of these unprecedented times, I pledge to safely be a successful part of your family team. I truly look forward to being an outstanding advocate for your precious progeny, providing the highest caliber of childcare services to prospective family candidates, and continuing to exceed professional expectations, as a career nanny committed to
