My name is Heather, I’m a 49 year old reliable and responsible adult and mom to a beautiful 18 year old daughter . I have 23 years experience as a Professional Nanny caring for children from premature twins / triplets to teenage years.The following are just a few examples of the children I cared for . For 3 years I was sitting for a little boy who is now 6 yrs old . He was 2 months ( premature) when I started caring for him . When the child turned 3 years old, the family felt it was time for him to start daycare/ preschool therefore my last day was on Thursday, 11/30/18. I’ve also cared for twin premature girls full time for approximately 8 months however they had to move due to the family transferring to another country . I also cared for middle school children ( 2 boys Read more and 1 girl ) . Over the past few years ( 2018-present) I have cared for children of all ages including those with developmental disabilities and delays Non child care positions / certifications I’ve held : in 1992 I went to school to get my CNA/ HHA, med certification as well as certifications for Hospice . II decided to go back to school to get my certifications as a Personal Trainer and Nutritional Specialist. Worked with clients in their homes , gym .. and volunteeed at my daughters elementary school where I founded and ran 2 programs called the Healthy Kids Klub - walk to school and kiddie boot camp. Along with sitting now I’m also a distributor for Nu Skin which is done on social media so I make my own hours . My heart is with caring for children however. Helping them reach their milestones no matter which age they are . Knowing that I am / was even a small part of each child’s growth and development throughout the years and watching them grow into intelligent, beautiful ( inside and out ) , caring individuals makes it all worth it! ** References and resume available upon request ** currently in the process of receiving my infant care specialist certification via online ** Currently have open availability including days , evenings, overnights weekends ( date nights and overnights including NYE ! ) ** parents must agree to guaranteed hours ( paid ) / 24 hr cancelation policy for date nights Rates are determined per sittercity calculations and are based on age and number of children, responsibilities, location / distance and experience
