I am a 44-year-old mother of a young man. I have worked as a nanny and child care provider for 22+ years. I have experience in many forms of childcare: I was a licensed child care provider myself, I was the director of a large daycare and now I have been working as a nanny for 14 years. I have proven myself to be a motivated, creative, trustworthy, extremely reliable, tidy, playful and passionate provider. I believe in a routine, structured environment.. although tend to detour the day fairly often! I love to cook! And have years of experience working with nutritional programs. I love the outdoors, arts and crafts, gardening, music, and my favorite thing to do is read to children.. so much fun! Over the years, I have proven myself to be a motivated, creative, trustworthy, tidy, punctual, reliable, playful, loving, passionate provider and a great friend. I Read more believe in a routine, structured environment. However, not to structured :) I am firm when I need to be, but very loving, patient and caring. Through daily activities I strive to provide an educational experience as well as fun self-discovery for the children. I see every day is a new, exciting opportunity for personal growth. I will be a nanny who will bond closely with your children and who can be a partner to you in providing your children with a stable, enriching and nurturing environment. I will encourage your children's creativity through creative play, art projects, singing and dancing; create opportunities for socialization through play dates, involvement in community activities for kids, and field trips; provide intellectual stimulation through reading, nature walks, gardening, and attending cultural events.
