Professional Educator & Care Provider | Academic Support, Enrichment & Reliable Childcare I’m a certified teacher with a Master’s degree and five years of classroom experience (grades 3–8), along with substitute teaching across grade levels. I specialize in calm, engaging, developmentally supportive care that blends structure, learning, and play. I’m a homeschooling mom to my 5-year-old son (who will start kindergarten this fall) and my 2-year-old daughter. For weekday daytime care, my daughter would accompany me. I offer childcare and academic support, including reading intervention, writing help, homework support, and enrichment for elementary and middle school students. Activities I enjoy with children include reading, outdoor play, crafts, imaginative play, and hands-on learning tailored to each child’s interests. I have reliable transportation, am comfortable with light childcare-related housekeeping, and references are available upon request.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Sandy! She has been with our family for the past two years and has been an incredible caregiver to our boys. She is kind, loving, dependable, and truly cares about them. She keeps them active, engaged, and always on the go—whether it’s trips to the park, sports, music classes, playdates, or other fun adventures. She drives them wherever they need to go and is always keeping us updated throughout the day with pictures and videos, which gives us so much peace of mind especially for two working parents! Sandy has had such a positive impact on our youngest, who is now 2½. Thanks to her, he speaks and understands so much Spanish! More than anything, she has built such a genuine, loving relationship with both of our boys and treats them as if they were her own. They adore her! Any family would be lucky to have her!

Natalie Denize-Scott cared for my three children from October 2013 to May 2026, including my twins since birth. She is dependable, nurturing, patient, and truly caring. Natalie helped with daily childcare, transportation, meal prep, bottle sterilizing, formula prep, and light housekeeping. My children loved her, and I always felt confident leaving them in her care. I highly recommend her to any family seeking a trustworthy and compassionate nanny or caregiver.
