Summary

Exceptional Nanny with experience supporting daily success and health of children of varying needs and interests. Versatile and adaptable in conducting errands, cooking, changing diapers and entertaining children according to parental specifications. Reliable and supportive member of house operations, assisting family as extenuating circumstances arise. I am kind, caring and empathetic, reliable, patient and understanding. Having been a nanny for so many years, I have a deep understanding of my place in your family home. Often times, the transition to having your child spend most days with you to spending half or full days with a nanny can be emotionally taxing for both children and parents and I am committed to heping making this transition as smooth and comfortable as possible for your family. I have 3 years experience working with neurodivergent children and many, many years working with infants and toddlers. I am CPR and first aid certified, I have a clear child abuse registry check and criminal record check and would be happy to provide any other documents you may need. I have loved children for as long as I can remember. Although I've strayed away from nanny a few times in my working years, I ultimately find myself wanting to revisit being a nanny as a means of employment because it truly fulfils me in a way no other job has before.
