Meet Veronica
- Comfortable with pets
- Has a car
I have experience nannying children with special needs including cerebral palsy, hydrocephalus, and downs syndrome. Outside of work, inclusion and growth of children with special needs has been very important to me since my older brother is diagnosed with cerebral palsy. I feel that it is my calling to help families and children who need that extra bit of attention and kindness and have decided to get my Masters in Occupational Therapy. Before finding my calling, I was a nanny to several other children including twins and have assisted in potty training, sleep training, and other important milestones.

Veronica was sweet, attentive, intuitive, punctual, and amazingly capable of anything we asked of her. Pretty much the ideal babysitter! We just wish she was available to babysit during the weekday days.

Veronica was friendly and fun. The kids loved her. The dishes were all done and the toys put away. Five star!

Veronica was great! Our 3 year old said he had a wonderful time with her. The house was picked up and she was super punctual.

Veronica pulled through when our originally scheduled sitter, also a great find, fell ill a few hours before our date night. Veronica was sweet, experienced, and laid back. Our toddler took to her immediately , seeming to know that even with four adults around her, the fifth grown up (Veronica) had arrived just for her! She loved playing with her new friend. The sitter read to her, changed diapers and got her ready for bed , and picked up while baby was asleep and we were out. We were comfortable knowing that our daughter was in hood hands for the evening and would use Veronica again.

Our 3 girls really enjoyed Veronica as a sitter. She was very good with our youngest that was a bit under the weather.
