I have over 10 + plus years of experience with infant, elementary and middle school children (tweens) and young teens...Although my favorite age is toddler to early elementary age...I can easily hold my own with multiples and twins..Playful, active, and engaging relying on very little to no screen time....I have recent experience and excellent references with some of my current families that I am Read more still in touch with...In addition...some of my past experiences with children have been as a teacher's aid for "special needs children", summer full time live in nanny and personal home assistant and even as a "resort nanny" working winter months in a ski resort town which enabled me to work with all types of families and children of all ages across the United States! What an adventure of a lifetime! In addition, Im good at managing and organizing households as well as meal prepping and cooking healthy meals...also have compassionate awareness with divorced and single parents as life has been one of my greatest teachers. Excellent driving record, fully insured and can run household errands, shopping, pick and drop off for school and activities.

Minimum 4 hour booking is required and any regular part time days needed would require guaranteed hours... I would love an opportunity to speak with you about your children and possibly hold a phone interview to discuss further of your needs as well as to see if it is mutual fit for both parties.
