I have 20+ years of childcare experience. I ran a home day care for many years when my children were younger. I have also worked in corporate childcare centers. I am infant/toddler and preschool certified. I have a Montessori teaching certificate. I have also worked in a D11 preschool working with children with special needs In 2014 I started working as a nanny. I love that I get to work taking care of the child’s needs not based on what a center demands. As of '23 I have 30+ yrs experience, have nannied for 9 years and still 100% love what I do! I just switched from a iPhone to Android and found the sittercity app is only iPhone. Using Google I don't get notifications but try to check my messages. Please bear with me!
