I am a fun, loving, professional nanny & babysitter. I am available Friday days and every other Friday night, Saturday & Sunday. I would like to find stable, loving families to build long-term relationships. I am 47 years old and I have 34 years of experience working with children. I am fully Covid vaccinated and interested in working with families who are as well. I am currently a nanny for a nanny share Mondays-Thursdays. Prior to the nanny share, I ran a licensed home childcare for 7 years. As a home childcare provider, I worked with 6-8 children per day, most in the infant/toddler/preschool age range. I’ve cared for children of all ages, though most of my experience has been with infants and toddlers. I’ve also had experience working with children with special needs, including children with Autism, ADHD, Downs Syndrome, Turner's Syndrome and MS. I’ve also worked with preemies Read more and twins. I have extensive experience working with children and I have excellent references. I have taken childcare classes including Child Psychology 101 & 102, ABA (Applied Behavioral Analysis), PBIS (Positive Behavior Intervention & Support), Love & Logic Parenting, child/infant safety and CPR and dozens of other childcare courses as part of my ongoing training. I have a perfect driving record and background check. I own a reliable, well-maintained, kid-friendly vehicle (2001 Honda Odyssey Minivan). I am a non-smoker. I use a very positive, encouraging and loving style of care and guidance. I allow minimal media use mainly for educational purposes. I prefer to engage the children with music and arts, puzzles, books, games and imaginative fun! I know a bit of Spanish and I teach the children a little sign language to help them communicate when they are pre-verbal. I am happy to meet the needs of children with food or environmental allergies when possible. I am laid-back and professional. Caring for children is my passion and we always have a fun time together!
