I have 30+ years of child care experience including my own two amazing children. My son is 34, married and has two children. My beautiful granddaughter Ava is 4 and my precious grandson Alexander is 15 months. My beautiful daughter is 28. I was a baby sitter when I was a teenager and that is when I realized that caring for children would be my calling. I was a stay at home mom and started watching other children in my home when my children started going to elementary school. I treat the child/children under my care as if they were my own. I also became close with the parents and we were like family. After my divorce in 1998 I became a Nanny and at that time I cared for the children, family household and pets in their home. I'm a very loving, caring and fun nanny. I believe that Read more communication is the number one priority in a lasting relationship between myself and the parents. I'm certified in first aid and CPR. I have a perfect driving record and a very reliable vehicle. I love interacting with the children wether we're playing inside or outside. Going to the park, library, children's museum and the zoo. I take pride in caring for each child's individual needs as well as the family as a whole including pets. I'm reliable, flexible and trustworthy. I have excellent references. Hoping that I will start a new journey with a new family in the very near future. Thanks!
