Never worry about your loved ones while you are away or working. Parenting is already a stressful time, you don’t need the added worry of who is caring for your children. From me you will get that stress free, no worries, calming reassurance and comfort knowing your children are being well cared for and having fun with engaging age appropriate activities and education. Having been a nanny and childcare provider for over 15 years I have cared for children of all ages from newborn to age 15. I have various experience with multiples and am ok around household pets. I believe in letting a child be a child and having fun within boundaries and structur. I will make sure your child has the opportunity to experience what life is like through through the various stages of their youth while instilling positive values in themselves and respect for others. I have experience with adopted children, allergies as well as families who speak other languages and am able to quickly learn basic phrases for languages I may not understand.

Hi & Welcome to my profile! My name is Irene and I'm 37 years old. I have worked with children of all ages for about 19 years now. I also have several references. I truly enjoy working with kids and getting to know families. I'm also understanding of any specific rules or preferences parents or children have when they are with a babysitter. I also have lots of experience with families of different cultural backgrounds and life situations. I also have my own personal experience as well as professional experience within the adoption and foster care field. I have also worked with children with special needs before. I also prefer stable positions that match with my availability although I'm open to last minute positions as long as I'm available. I'm open to any questions and I hope to continue to meet families and be of help to them!

As a dedicated childcare provider, I am passionate about fostering bright futures and nurturing individuals of all backgrounds. With a Bachelor’s degree in General Studies, focusing on Human Ecology, and currently pursuing my Master’s in Human Ecology with a specialization in Child Development, I bring both educational knowledge and practical experience to my role as a nanny. I have over 5 years of experience working in various childcare settings, including schools and private homes, where I've developed a deep understanding of children's needs. My previous roles have included teaching 1st grade at Loftin Love Academy, where I created engaging lesson plans and fostered an inclusive atmosphere for all students. In addition to my teaching experience, I have provided childcare through Sittercity, managing schedules, planning activities, and supporting children with individualized education plans (IEPs). I also worked as a Mental Health Worker at Sheppard Pratt, helping vulnerable individuals thrive through encouragement and support. I hold certifications in CPR, AED, and First Aid, and I am committed to promoting safety and well-being in every interaction. I believe in creating fun, educational, and supportive environments for children, where they can learn, grow, and express themselves. I am excited to bring my skills and compassionate approach to families, ensuring a nurturing and enriching experience for children.
