Professional Career Nanny with 11 years experience. CPR certified, Back round Checked, 12 ECE units. I am caring, nurturing, and kind, but can set and consistently hold, firm boundaries when needed. I have worked with children of all ages from infants to teens. Projects, games, imaginative free play, books, and even exploring nature, and the world outside are all part of a day when I am with your children. At times I plan arts and crafts projects, do science activities, or work with your children to make a baking project. It all depends on the age, needs, and the interests of your child or family. For infants obviously it would be more working on their dexterity, body movement, or developing language skills.
