Fully vaccinated including COVID-19. I delight in the wonder and excitement that children naturally have. I believe in nurturing and helping little ones grow and learn in a loving and caring environment. One that supports their individual needs and allows them to build on their confidence and self-esteem. I always strive to create an environment that is comfortable and safe, leaving children feeling confident and ready to move through their world. I believe in the power of play. I encourage peer social relationships and offer experiences that spark curiosity and invite active exploration. I'm not afraid to break out in song, or get down on the floor and engage in simple child's play. Play turns out to be so stunningly essential to childhood, it's like love, sunshine, and broccoli all juiced together. I also have a natural sense of humor, which is essential when working with children. I enjoy sharing Read more resources or tips that I have learned along the way with the parents that I work for, and I learn something new everyday from them as well. Were all in this together, it truly does take a village to raise children. I offer families quality child care in your own home. I am CPR, First Aid and EEC teacher certified. I have experience with basic sign language (baby signs), EpiPen, food allergies, asthma. My current and former nanny families can give you personal references on your request. I also have a nanny portfolio with many letters and photos of my work. I have been in the field of early childhood for over 20 years. I've taught preschool and have attended many hours of child development education. I pledge to let them be little, fill their hearts with laughter, help them grow wings, nurture their sense of wonder, and inspire them to believe. I still keep in touch with the many children and families who have crossed paths with me over my career, and we catch up now and then. I'm proud to have been part of their childhood journey.

Although I did not ultimately hire Nancy due to a conflict with schedules, I would have loved to! We corresponded by email and by phone and she was always prompt to reply and friendly. We did have a meeting to meet my children and I was instantly at ease with her as were my kids (ages 2 and 3 1/2). They responded very positively to her and I think that speaks volumes. I hope that our schedules could work out in the future!!

Nancy is one of the best! She is very energetic, patient,kind and trustworthy. My 2 year old son lights up when she comes over. She always is prepared with fun activities for them to do and play. She really gives 100% to the kids. She is very dependable and easy to work with. I cant say enough good things. Your kids would be lucky to have her!
