I am became an elementary school teacher in my early twenties when I moved to USA. My passion to work with kids greatly increased as I got involved helping my friends working as teacher aid and working after school care in my son’s school and in church activities. As I got my own kids I clearly understood how important it is to have someone reliable and caring to help with your loved ones. It’s needed a whole Village to raise a child. When the opportunity arrived and I started working as a Nanny, I heartily can testify that it had been the best decision ever made. It’s a pleasure to do what you love most. I have been working for 10 years in which I have worked for 4 different families the shortest time was 15 months the longest 4 years. I have plenty experience with infants through the toddlers Read more stage. Worked with early school years and love the Montessori system. I am Infant and children CPR certified. Able to drive the kids and to travel with the family to help in vacations or as needed. Respect boundaries, reliable, patient, caring, and supportive. I am looking forward to find my next long term family to care and share with.
