Hello, my name is Lorelei! I provide babysitting, nanny , and education services. I am a 47-year-old mother of one 7 year old little girl. We have lived in Texas 6 years in January. My mother, my daughter and I moved from CA to be near family, and currently reside in Round Rock. I was employed by a Georgetown family from 01/2014 to 08/2016 when the two boys both became school age and the family's needs changed, as well as I began attending college part time a couple of evenings a week. I took off last semester in order to get accustomed to classes and studying. From 05/2011 to 01/2015 I worked with a family picking up one boy from daycare, around 5:30 and keeping him at my home or his, until his mother returned from work between 7 & 8 in the evening, In January she gave up her Read more job to pursue her college education. I can provide a letter of recommendation. From 06/2011 to 01/2012, I was employed by a wonderful family with one toddler/preschool age little girl, The family's needs changed and the father became a SAHD and that is the reason for my loss. I can provide a letter of recommendation. In my 20's I was a nanny for three families over a 6 year period, two of the families had 2 children each, ages 6 months - 6 years, where I spent 3 years and 2 years and the third had 3 children, 6 month - 7 years of age, where I spent 1 year. In my mid to late 20's I also went back to college and received my Early Childhood Education Certification and was a preschool teacher. At my most recent jobs, I was able to implement that education by working with the children in reading, writing, math, art, and indoor/outdoor activities including swimming, horse riding and bike riding. For almost two years, in my mid-30's, I was a substitute teacher's aide for K-12th grade, after a move to a very rural town in California. During this time I was also a very active PTA member for my friend's children who had lost their mother in a car accident soon before. As I mentioned above, I have a daughter (who came when I was 40 years old and had lost all hope), so I spend my free time being her mom and before she entered school, I was her educator. I adore children and truly love being a nanny. I am a non-smoker. I have 2 forms of transportation at my disposal. I have a great driving record, I can provide a copy, and a clean background check I am very loving to children, adults and animals (2 small Schnauzers in our home). Well, that is a little about me.

Lorelei was very punctual and prepared for our initial interview. You could tell from our conversation that she really has a keen focus on caring for children. Lorelei kept my daughter engaged and on her normal schedule. She was also extremely helpful with little tidbits to do in Austin with our little one since we're new to the area.
