I have worked with kids for almost 20 years. I have cared for children of all ages and abilities ranging from gifted to special needs, quadruplets, newborns, children with behavior and sensory disorders, ADD, ADHD, and many more. I have worked as an Early Intervention and Birth to Three specialist. I’ve done respite, day rehabilitation, and home and community support for high risk and/or children with special needs. My responsibilities included helping children achieve their goals, charting their progression and regression, and creating/adapting existing plans. I thoroughly enjoy helping children surpass the milestones or expectations set for their age. I have worked with parents of multiples assisting them with getting their newborns on a feeding schedule and sleep training. One of my favorite hobbies is teaching toddlers to read. I believe that a nanny should be a good role model, so I try to always live up to that. I Read more enjoy all water sports, cooking, and traveling. I have a clean background check, DMV report, and excellent references. I am First Aid and CPR certified.

Courtney has truly been a blessing to us and our family. We are so grateful we found her and really value the role she has played in the development of our daughter ! She is extremely dedicated to her craft and the joy she gets from working with kids is truly evident. She always goes above and beyond, and spends dedicated time researching information that would be helpful in enriching our child, and reaches out to share what she learns, or just to check in. She is extremely reliable, and has helped us at desperate times when we have needed to reach out last minute for extra assistance. From day one we have trusted her and believed in her abilities to provide quality care, love and patience to our children. She’s so supportive of the growth of our children and shows them such great love and attention. We have no hesitation in fully recommending her. She not only is a wonderful nanny, but has so much knowledge when it comes to eating in the development and assisting in therapies for children

I simply cannot say enough about Courtney and what she has meant to our children and our entire family for the past four years. Courtney has watched and cared for our children, but she has done so much more than merely supervise them. She has a tremendous bond with both of our children. Courtney is an extremely trustworthy, loyal and honest person. She has picked up our girls from school for the past four years, tutored them, helped them with their homework, taken them to various practices, taken them to parks, prepared balanced and nutritious snacks, and entertained them. Courtney takes a tremendous amount of pride in her ability to tutor children. She not only makes sure our kids complete all their homework daily, but she goes above and beyond to make sure our kids truly understand everything. Because of the time Courtney has spent with our first grader, she reads at a third-grade level. Courtney has also spent a lot of time working with my first grader on developing her writing skills and as a result her teacher has commended her writing skills and she has gotten Star Writer recognition in her class on a regular basis. Courtney has also played a large role in my fourth grader obtaining straight A(s) or honor roll on all her report cards. Courtney researches the way the school wants the child to solve math problems so she can then explain it in a way that is easier for my now 4th grader to understand. She makes sure my kids are keeping up with their weekly time goals on school instructional computer programs such as I-Ready and she researches what areas they need more practice in and puts together plans and materials for my kids, such as index cards and study guides. Courtney goes above and beyond to research the different assessments the school administers to my kids. She analyzes how they did on them and what areas they need more practice in. She does this on her own time, on her own accord. She truly wants the kids to succeed and reach their highest potential. She takes the grades my kids get very personally, as if it were a grade on her teaching/tutoring ability. It’s not just the big tests; she analyzes every paper they bring home and goes over it with them so they can see why they got something wrong, so they learn from their mistakes. Courtney is a multi-talented individual. She is very creative, and this comes through when she tutors my children. Sometimes she explains things to my kids in a way that I had never thought of which makes me so thankful that my kids have her perspective. She makes things fun and she is very patient. I highly recommend Courtney as a nanny, babysitter, caregiver or tutor. I know she will help your children succeed as much as she has ours. Please feel free to contact me if I can be of further assistance. Gudiela Cross 407-973-0948
