I am a mother of one daughter and grandmother of two; I have worked as a professional nanny for 20+ years after working as a legal assistant. I am originally from Washington State and lived in Hawaii in younger days and both Rhode Island and Connecticut, respectively, since '98. I enjoy children much more than administrative work, hence, I turned to childcare. I have had many long-term commitments, newborns on-up, twin infants in the mix, and special-needs (autistic;) I am blessed to still see the local, former families. (Although I am "seasoned," in age, I encourage prospective families to view me as bringing a grandmotherly-presence to children - able-bodied, yet mature and nurturing, with no personal commitments to conflict with a family's needs.) I am fully vaccinated, CPR/First Aid/AED certified (a given,) have a squeaky-clean DMV/BCI check and a non-smoker. Infant care: bottle-feedings, solid foods - all down pat... I Read more have a passion for the arts - Broadway show tunes, children love them! I focus on age-appropriate activities, have collected a wealth of craft project archives and I am well-versed in children's literature; I am a Play-Doh goddess, good for the little ones; I will kick a ball around, take long walks. I am an avid animal-lover and am more than happy to attend to pet care needs. I am open to any questions you may have and references are readily available.

JoAnn was our nanny for 2.5 years. She was a very loving and nurturing caregiver to my twin boys from infancy through the toddler years. She was extremely reliable, and completely committed to us. My boys love her, but we have moved on to preschool. I encourage you to meet JoAnn for yourself.
