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 fell in love with nannying and I have a way with children, I'm very fun but I also do not tolerate disrespect, everyone deserves to be treated with respect no matter the age. Currently looking for part time nanny/babysitting jobs.

Hi! I'm Karen. I am a devoted and loving mom of two young adults. As a former foster parent for the state of Maryland, I have cared for children of all ages and am CPR certified and first aid trained through the Red Cross. I have experience caring for children who have autism, ADHD and other disabilities. In addition to raising my own children and fostering, I acquired childcare experience through babysitting for family, friends and neighbors, previously working at a daycare center, leading classroom lessons and activities at my church and also substitute teaching elementary age students. Watching children learn and grow through engaging interaction is fulfilling and enjoyable to me. I like to occupy children with craft activities, art projects, games and puzzles, outdoor play, cooking lessons...anything that limits screen time and encourages imagination and creativity. I believe that some down time is also important. For that purpose, book reading, puppet shows, cloud shape guessing and wildlife watching would be some of my possible choices. There's surely no lack of things I could come up with to keep children busy, but the number one reason to choose me to be your caregiver is this...I love kids! They make life fun! I really enjoy teaching them and then watching them progress through their many stages of childhood. You can expect that I will treat your child/children with respect and I will nurture and care for them as if they were my own.

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.

For the past 20 years I have worked as a professional Nanny in San Diego, California. Along with my Nanny experience, I have experience as a House Manager and Personal Assistant. I take initiative to ensure the smooth running of the entire family unit and strive to stay in tune with the concerns of both parents in order to attain a sound environment. I have extensive experience with newborn-toddler age children, as well as caring for multiple children at a time. I am knowledgeable with the various stages of development and strive to enrich the lives of the children from the moment they’re in my care. I feel it is important to set boundaries and also build confidence in children by empowering them to make choices. Not only am I aware of the mental and emotional needs of the child, but I stay in tune with their physical needs as well. I enjoy studying and learning about nutrition for the critical role it has in the growth and development of young children. I maintain an active lifestyle and enjoy being outdoors. My down to earth demeanor and loving attitude are a comfort to parents and children alike.
