Hi, my name is Valerie and I am interested in part-time childcare work. I am a mom of 5 Vikings ( as my husband and I call them). My two oldest have moved out, and I have 2 in High School and 1 middle-schooler. I have been a stay-at-home mom for (most of) 23 yrs. Recently I acquired my first aid certificate and accepted a temporary Nanny position, part-time, for an infant. I so enjoyed my time with a little again, as my kids are older now and prefer their friends! My position ended when circumstances changed and full-time care was needed. Having a middle schooler in the house still requires transportation for school and various activities, so I was unable to commit to a full-time position. Pre-Husband and Vikings, I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Earth Science at Central Michigan University. Being a bit of a wanderer, I found Read more myself in Chicago working at an Ad Agency! My family and I moved to Greensboro about 5 years ago, and we enjoy having both mountains and Ocean available for our adventures. We have two older dogs, and 3 quirky cats.

Valerie is amazing! We were traveling into town from San Diego on Buisness. She watched my 6 month of daughter for two days. Shea absolutely loved her and was so excited when she came back for day 2. Valerie’s communication was incredible and she went above and beyond giving us restaurant recommendations and more. She was punctual and extremely professional. She took Shea on an adventure around our Airbnb in downtown taking pictures with her at some of the highlights and even getting Shea a sticker for her travel stroller. Whenever we are back in town we will be reaching out to Valerie agin. I highly recommend her.

I cannot express enough how fortunate we feel to have found Valerie. Her punctuality is unparalleled, and she has never been late even once since she started working with us. It gives us immense peace of mind to leave our children in her capable and caring hands. She addresses all the needs of our kids diligently, making sure they are well-fed, clean, and most importantly, happy. But her dedication doesn’t just stop at childcare. She often goes above and beyond by ensuring our home is tidy and clean, a task she voluntarily took upon herself. Coming home to not only happy kids but also a clean and orderly house is something that has lifted a lot of stress off our shoulders. Her efforts display a level of commitment and love that is rare to find. It's evident that she doesn’t view her role as merely a job, but as an extension of her nurturing personality. She’s become a cherished member of our family and has a wonderful bond with our children. Anyone in search of a reliable, loving, and exceptionally responsible nanny should look no further. Her contribution to our family’s harmony and daily functioning is immeasurable and we couldn’t be more grateful. We wholeheartedly recommend her to any family in search of a dedicated nanny who brings so much more to the table than what's expected of her.
