Hi there! I am an upbeat, creative, outdoorsy person who has 10 years of experience caring for children from infants to teenagers. My ideal job would be with a family who has a young baby and is looking for a nanny to be with them for a few years. I am looking to start with a new family in January 2024 but can be flexible to start early if I find the right fit. My current family has an 18 month old and a 4 year old. I am also a foster mom and have had 4 children in our home at different times. We are set to adopt our current foster son (age 14) by the end of the year. I have nannied for 4 different families, totaling 9 kids of all ages and abilities (one family had 3 little with disabilities). I have worked at a summer camps Read more and retreat centers full time where I not only got to spend time with campers but also helped train staff to care for thousands of children of all ages. I have infant experience including newborns. I love seeing a baby grow into their personalities month after month. They develop so quickly as they listen to and look at books, colors, and nature. I feel very comfortable taking babies out to experience new things in their world. For orders kiddos, I love to see them have fun, try new things, and grow as they learn through play. I have lived in Durham for 5 years now and being a nanny have learned some of the most fun and enriching places to take littles. I would love to be able to share that with your family! I would love to not only help care for your child but to come alongside your family in your day to day lives and help meet your needs. Good communication is a top priority of mine for success as a nanny. I truly enjoy getting to know you and your kids! I am CPR and first aid certified and up to date on vaccines. I have a great resume that I would love to email you. I would also love to talk with you about your needs and wants with a nanny and more of my experience that would be beneficial to your family!
