Hello parents, my name is Vanessa and I am pleased to inform you that I just graduated this May with my certification in early childhood education and CPR. Before going back to school I worked at Gingerbread Learning Center for 2 years. I wanted to pursue my career with children so I got my certificate to better my learning and understanding of the proper care and development of children. I have two nephews of my own and one niece on the way! With my oldest nephew I started to babysit him when he turned two months old from 6AM-6PM due to my sister having to return back to work as a nurse. Now that you know a little more about me I look forward to helping parents with their babysitting necessities.

My professional experience includes being a youth counselor, support teacher at various childcare facilities, and different nanny/babysitting roles, with house chores as a bonus. I am currently an elementary school Social Worker, and registered behavior technician, servicing kiddos with disabilities, primarily autism.

Some of my interest and hobbies include, hanging out with friends and family, going to zoos, museums, parks, movies, and going local to food truck festivals. I LOVE being creative, even on a rainy day! I’m always flexible to meet the families needs rather thats going out with the kiddos for date night, or staying in and we make a fun delicious meal together! In addition, I do live by one philosophy, HAVE FUN!! I’m also a kitten mama to a beautiful cat named Ms. Dolly.
