Hi there! I’m Vanessa, though most kids call me “Nessa.” I’m 27 years old and have a true passion for working with children of all ages. Whether it’s for a date night or regular care, I bring years of experience as both a nanny and babysitter through various childcare companies, along with hands-on experience in daycare settings and as a substitute teacher. I originally began my studies in Elementary Education, but quickly realized I thrive most in smaller, more personal environments where I can provide individualized care, attention, and support to each child. I currently work as a Registered Behavioral Technician (RBT), where I have the privilege of supporting children with disabilities by focusing on behavioral goals, developmental progress, and emotional support in a compassionate and nurturing way. I’m known for being patient, creative, detail-oriented, and someone who truly values transparency and communication with families. I also love incorporating arts & crafts, engaging activities, and positive experiences into the time I spend with children. I would love the opportunity to get to know your little ones and become a positive, dependable part of their lives. Please feel free to message me with any questions or if you’d like references!
