Post again, I'm still available and looking for a family! Edit!! I do have a covid booster I just looked at my vaccine card 😅 I had gotten a booster well I was pregnant and forgot 😅 Here we go again! And with some updates! Hey families, I'm looking for my next amazing family to work with! I've been a nanny for about 8 years now and am currently doing a online program to become a birth doula. I just had my first baby about 5 months ago and will be needing to bring her along with me to work but am confident in my ability to care for her as well as your child and belive it could be a awsome opportunity for socialization/a bult in best friend for both Littles! I have experience with children aged newborn-10 but most of my experience is with newborn-4 and I have Read more twin experience! I have absolutely loved everything about it! I work with a kind and gentle approach and belive that children should be treated with respect and as the tiny people that they are. I love reading, baking and spending time outside. I love setting up different age appropriate activities. I've helped families with baby led weening, potty training, cooking and cleaning, sleep training, scheduling building, age appropriate play, meeting milestones, doctors appointments, and much much more! I'm looking for a family who values open communication and looks at their nanny as a extention of their family and wants to build a healthy relationship. I have my own reliable transportation and am vaccinated for covid (trying to find somewhere to get a booster) and up to date on all my other vaccines. I'm looking for 30-40 hours a week and my rate starts at $24 a hour for one child/depending on the expectations of the job. Please reach out if you think we'd be a good fit:)
