- A No-Nonsense Nanny, Who Loves a Little Nonsense - When looking for someone to take care of your littles, you want someone who can care for your child with the same love and attention as you do. For the past 15 years I’ve worked with children of all ages, and as a full-time nanny to infants and toddlers for the past 4. By nature I am warm, kind, compassionate, and playful. I believe what we say, and how we say it, affects children long-term, so I am thoughtful and intentional in my communication. I love music, art, the outdoors, and adventure. I will expand your child's knowledge and imagination through a beautiful city that caters to active exploration. On outings we’ll visit parks, neighborhood classes & events, museums, the zoo, the beach, and nature conservatories. At home we’ll work on age-appropriate crafts, experiements, and learning activities. I believe that Read more it is important that we do both outside and inside activities, everyday. While I value and love the spirit of play, I also believe it’s important to play by the rules. I am consistent and clear on expectations, firm when necessary but never threatening or aggressive. I will hold your child(ren) accountable for their actions and follow-through with appropriate consequences that you and I agree on. It’s important to me to be able to collaborate on solutions to behavioral challenges with you, looking at not just the poor behavior, but also the cause. I’m seeking families who are loving and accepting of their children, prioritizing them above all else. References and Background Check available upon request. If you feel like we’d be a good team, drop me a line, I’d love to hear from you!!
