Meet Vanessa

My name is Vanessa. I am the second oldest out of six kids. I began babysitting for my family when I was 11 years old. My youngest brother was born when I was 12 and I began watching him from almost day 1. I have a 7 year old son, Jonathan and a 10 year old son, Alexander who are both in daycare and school. I am very family oriented and I try to make the best out of every situation. I strive to be as wonderful a babysitter/nanny as I am a mother. We spend our days reading, going to the park, going to the library, going to the museum and to play groups. I have a minivan that can seat 5 children and 2 adults(1 older child). So I can transport mulitiple children to/from school and/or activities. I am a very trustworthy person and being a mother myself Read more I understand how hard it is to leave your children under someone's care. I am a happy person and I can guarantee that you will love my personality. I have a full time job but am looking to babysit during my available times. Please feel free to ask for references if youre considering me. I have been asked to only give them out when needed. Thank you for considering me and I hope to hear from you soon!

We found Vanessa on SitterCity and she cared for our son for about a year. She was reliable, caring, flexible, and genuinely loves children. Vanessa was willing to take our son on special outings, spent lots of time outdoors, and enjoyed creative activities. Our family would certainly recommend her. You can get our references from Vanessa if you'd like to contact us for further information.
