I have over three years of experience working in a daycare with children ranging from infants through school age. During that time, I gained a strong understanding of daily routines, age-appropriate activities, and creating a safe, nurturing environment.When COVID hit, I began nannying full time for an 8-month-old, providing one-on-one care and supporting their growth and development. I really loved the closer bond that comes with nannying and working so closely with a family.I have a college degree and currently work full time in the corporate world, but I’m looking to transition back into nannying—where my heart really is. I’m reliable, easygoing, and very attentive, and I take pride in being someone families can trust with their children.I’d love the opportunity to support your family and be a positive, consistent presence in your child’s day.
