Hi! My name is Vanessa. With over 5 years experience in childcare (both professionally and within my own family), I’m a dependable caregiver who is dedicated to creating a safe and engaging environment for children. I am particularly passionate about assisting with homework/activities, encouraging playtime, and serving as a trusted companion. (I remember how important my babysitter was to me growing up!)I provided after-school care for two energetic boys (ages 3 and 6) for three years, ensuring a fun and structured routine, and continued to babysit them on weekends for nearly three years. Additionally, my experience helping raise my younger siblings—including driving them to activities, assisting with homework, and supporting their development—has given me valuable skills in multitasking and patience. As a tutor and mentor, I’ve also guided students in navigating their schoolwork and technology, fostering their confidence and independence.Beyond my professional experience, I will bring a sense of empathy and positive energy that will encourage and motivate your children. In my free time, I love to rock climb; go to concerts; take naps with my cat; and write short stories! I am excited for the opportunity to work with you and your children. ☺️

Hi parents 🙂. I’m Hillary & I’ve been working with children ever since my first job at a summer camp, and I quickly realized it was something I truly enjoyed. Since then, every job I’ve had has involved caring for children. I love that every day is different and there’s always something fun to do, and I never get bored! I enjoy baking, reading stories, doing crafts, and finding fun ways to keep children engaged.What draws me to nannying is the opportunity to build a closer relationship with both children and their families. I enjoy giving children one on one attention, getting to know their personalities, and planning activities that fit their interests. There’s nothing more rewarding than watching a child grow in confidence, learn something new, or accomplish a milestone. My goal is to create a safe, fun, and caring environment where children feel happy and parents feel confident knowing they’re in good hands.

I was never fortunate enough to have my own children, but I have been a hands on "professional Auntie" for over 25 years. I have been a head coach and volunteer for Girls on the Run for 9 seasons, as well as a Foster parent for 2+ years. I have had a pretty busy career in real estate and title for the last 20 years and am looking to "slow down" and make a change. I love being around kids and tend to be fun, creative , sensitive and goofy while holding manners, following the rules, communication and listening skills above the "fun". I love outdoor activities like playgrounds and hikes/walks as well as getting crafty or snugged up with some books or a movie. I am pet friendly, as is my car. I have a 5 point car seat, as well as a booster seat. Open to any dialogue and questions!
