Hi! My name is Courtney. I am a 45-year-old single mom to (promise no bias here!) a happy and even-tempered 3-year-old son. I understand some parents are doubtful of a nanny bringing their own little one to their childcare position. I assure you that your child will receive the same unconditional love my son does. I truly enjoy kids. Children are curious, fun, and open. It's so great to see them learning and embracing life. I have extensive life and paid experience with children from infancy to teen. I have been told I am patient, fun, and kind. I enjoy engaging kids in activities like reading, being outdoors, puzzles, games, arts & crafts, outings like museums & farmer's markets, etc. I am looking for a healthy family to build a long-standing relationship with. Excellent references and multiples experience! Superb driving record. First Aid/CPR/AED certified. A little about me: I am an avid reader, beach/anything water lover, fan of dogs, horticulture nerd, and enjoy daily walking/yoga/meditation. Thank you for your time!
