Hi, my name is Paige Gardner and I am 25 years old. I am extremely experienced and comfortable with children of all ages and would describe myself as honest, reliable, punctual, passionate, friendly, creative and patient. I have all of the energy and skills required to care for your child in as close to the same manner as their primary caretaker as possible. I strive to make sure that the children and parents both feel comfortable with their kids in my care, and I always aim to interact with each child in as many ways as possible to teach them about all of the wonderful things this world has to offer. I am not the babysitter that literally just "watches" the kids." I do extensive research on each individual child's age, brain and body development and prepare lots of different fun/age-appropriate activities that are geared specifically to their unique needs. Read more I believe that there is no cookie-cutter approach to child care and I mold myself and my approach however neccessary to be a perfect fit for that specific child- and it has proven to be effective for me and every kid I've worked with. I have a squeaky clean background check and am CPR/First Aid certified, so I am prepared for the unlikely event of an emergency, which hasn't ever happened in my 8 years of working with children. I have a two-year-old little boy myself, so I know first hand how important it is for a parent to have a reliable, responsible caretaker for their child who genuinely has their best interest in mind at all times and I am able to provide that to you, with pleasure. This isn't just a hobby for me, it is my passion! I am a licensed massage therapist and although I still do that on the side in my spare time, I choose to nanny because it is such a rewarding job! Nothing in this world makes me feel more honored or more grateful than to be able to be a part of a child's growth, education and overall development. Although it is not a requirement for me, I would really LOVE to find a job where I can bring my son with me, and I'd certainly be willing to work for a rate that reflects that. I think it's totally beneficial for both kids to be able to play and learn from/with each other and it has been proven that interaction with other children significantly boosts vocabulary and social skills! I look forward to speaking with you and hopefully getting to know you through providing quality child care you can rely on for your family! -Paige 407-797-2629 Feel free to call or text anytime!

I was excited to meet Paige after speaking with her. She sounded like exactly what we were looking for. However I never did get to meet her. I though we had a time and day set to meet, but when I tried to dbl confirm she kinda disappeared. Very odd. Paige is not someone I would put my hopes on. Sounds like she has all the right answers but never shows up?????

I was really excited to interview Paige but unfortunately never had the chance. The first date we set she postponed the time and then had an awful reason not to show, which I felt really bad for her. So, we rescheduled and I confirmed that she would come meet me and my children about 3 hours prior to the time. She said everything was a go and then she never showed, never called. It was a waste of time waiting around and just plain rude.
