Hi! My Name is Marie. I have over twenty years childcare experience, and am thirty nine years old. I love taking care of children of all ages and interacting with them, assisting them with using manners, and also love helping school-age children with homework. In addition I truly love caring for infants, as it is amazing to watch how their personalities expand on a daily basis! I have extensive training in the recognition, as well as treatment of life threatening injuries and illnesses in infants, children, and adults. I have wonderful references to give during an interview. I do not post my references on the internet because I would prefer to not have them receiving many phone calls before I even meet a family as a courtesy to them as it became problematic before. I am able to bring all certifications with me during an interview, and will also provide my references' contact information. I also have current clear background checks from the FBI (with fingerprints) and the state of Pennsylvania, and have passed the requirements of Pennsylvania to obtain a child abuse history clearance in order to be approved to work around children in a school setting. As far as discipline in a caregiver capacity goes I believe in time-outs, or time-outs for toys. I also strongly believe in positive reinforcement (sticker chart with prize at end of week, pick of dinner or activity etc) I like to try and mimic the parents' way of doing things as best as possible to keep structure in childrens lives, and also try and cater to the activities the specific child likes most (after any room-cleaning/homework if any they’re required to do is done). I am a former critical care medic so have extensive CPR and first aide training and experience. I have a 13 year old son in 8th grade, a 7 year old daughter in second grade and am a stay at home mom. I am highly involved in my kids schools as a teacher aide as needed. I am currently looking for occasional daytime or date night positions **ineligibility for SC enhanced background badge was due to a non-moving traffic citation. I have all other clear federal and state background checks I can provide**

Marie, Mariah has asked for you to come back! This is high praise from a child who doesn't generally like people she hasn't met before! I hope you'll consider watching the whole gang for me occasionally. Best wishes, Kristen V.

Dear families! I'm Jennifer, your friendly neighborhood nanny with over 5 years of hands-on experience making kids’ days fun, engaging, and safe. I’ve had the pleasure of working with little ones as young as 3 months old all the way up to energetic 14-year-olds, and I love every minute of it! From playful diaper changes and tummy time to helping with school projects and after-school activities, I’m all about creating joyful experiences and making sure kids feel valued and cared for. Whether it's setting up epic art projects, leading treasure hunts, or just being a trusted buddy, I bring a lot of enthusiasm, creativity and patience to the table. When I'm not busy coming up with new activities or dancing around to silly songs, you can find me exploring new parks, baking up delicious treats, or diving into a good story. I’m dedicated to supporting each child’s unique needs and helping them grow into their best selves while having a blast along the way. Let’s make some wonderful memories together!

It is with a bittersweet heart that I write this review for Debby, who has been more than a nanny to our family since for the past two and a half years. Debby has become an indispensable part of our lives, particularly in the development and nurturing of our son, Neev since he was only 6 months old. From the outset, Debby embraced Neev with a warmth and dedication that is rare to find. Her approach to childcare goes beyond the conventional; she is deeply caring, attentive, and has an innate ability to connect with children at their level. Debby has been instrumental in supporting Neev's every aspect of physical and mental development. Safety has always been Debby's priority, and under her vigilant supervision, Neev has never experienced injury or harm. This peace of mind has been invaluable to us as parents. Moreover, Debby has been incredibly accommodating and diligent about attending all of Neev’s medical appointments, ensuring that he receives the necessary care and interventions without delay. Feeding a picky eater like my son can be a challenge, but Debby has handled this with creativity and persistence, introducing him to a variety of foods and making mealtime an enjoyable and educational experience. Her efforts have significantly improved Neev's eating habits and overall nutrition. Debby's commitment to Neev's growth extends beyond basic care; she incorporates STEM activities into his daily routine, fostering an environment of learning and curiosity. She has enriched Neev’s life with arts and crafts, baking, and a variety of engaging educational experiences that have contributed significantly to his cognitive and emotional development. Beyond her professional capabilities, Debby has shown an immense capacity for empathy and kindness. She has become a cherished member of our family, someone we trust implicitly and respect deeply. Since we are sending our son to preschool, her departure is a significant loss for us, but we are grateful for the immeasurable impact she has had on our lives and especially on Neev’s development. Any family would be fortunate to have Debby as part of their children's lives. She is not only a superb nanny but a wonderful person who brings joy, safety, and learning into the homes she enters. We are deeply thankful for her time with us and wholeheartedly recommend her services. Please feel free to reach out to me for any questions you may have regarding her experience with her.
