Seeking: Part time nanny position T/TH available 6 a.m.-6 p.m. I am a mother/teacher/nanny with over 25 years of experience caring for children from newborn through teens. I am also a recently retired teacher. My passion is working with children. Ever since I began babysitting in my teens, I knew my calling was to work with children! I follow parent's instructions/schedule/discipline procedures. I spend time with parents prior to the start date to learn your parenting style, expectations, and children's routines, so the children have consistency. I am the ultimate Mary Poppins! Children and parents greatly benefit from my vast experience. I have taken numerous child development and child psychology classes while obtaining three educational degrees. I have taught classrooms of children from preschool through elementary grades, and I am trained in CPR and first aid. I am fun, enthusiastic, loving, caring, upbeat, creative, reliable, punctual, healthy, great sense of Read more humor, and honest. The children and I engage in singing, playing, reading books, arts and crafts, drama, sports, creative play, exercise, playing school, outside activities, playground fun, library outings, playing small percussion instruments, computer skills, homework, tutoring, etc. I enjoy putting joyful smiles on infant’s faces, giving hugs, and being part of their crawling, talking, and walking milestones. I check for spiking temperatures, dirty diapers, burping, rashes, etc. I love helping toddlers and older children discover more about themselves and their surroundings. Daily, I bring a fun Mary Poppins bag of fun activities, small instruments, books, beanie babies, toys, crafts, games, etc. that add more fun and enrichment to their days. Most importantly, parent’s wishes, hopes, and dreams are met! Also, I am willing to help with light housekeeping, laundry, cooking, pets, etc. so you can spend quality time with your children when you return home. In addition, I am a very active person! Your children will have to keep up with me! I enjoy biking, daily Bowflex exercise, cooking, reading, gardening, walking, playing musical instruments, singing, pet sitting, and family.

Nancy nannied for our 2 boys ages 7&9 during the summer. She was dependable, responsible, and fun. She always kept the boys active, taking them on bike rides, swimming, or playing in the back yard. The boys really enjoyed having Nancy at the house. They were sad to see her go. Nancy was always on time and was very dependable. She had the boys pick up after themselves and always cleaned up the dishes after meals. We hope to hire Nancy again next summer!

Nancy came to our home and took care of our pup Cooper for the weekend. She is extremely sweet, kind and reliable and Cooper loved her. It was clear that the two of them had a great time while we were away and Nancy was even kind enough to send me text updates when she met with Coop regarding how he was doing and what they did on her visits. She is simply fantastic, we highly recommend Nancy and can't wait to work with her again the next time we go out of town. Thanks Nancy!!
