I’m a full-time Nanny with coming up on 16 years experience from newborns to the early teen years. I’m also the mom of 2 college aged daughters so I have a lot of flexibility.I have worked with single, multiples, special needs and preemie babies.My current full-time Nanny job ends in August of 2026 so ideally I’d like to find another full-time position. I attended the University of Melbourne in Australia but did not graduate. ( the university I attended did not come up in your options so I put NW just to move forward).I’m a really active, fit Nanny and enjoy spending a lot of time outside with children in my care. Activities determined by age. While at home, books, music, games, backyard fun etc.I’m happy to help out with house-hold chores including laundry, keeping common areas tidy, meal prep, whatever is needed.I can pass all background checks and have a safe, reliable vehicle.
