Hello interested parent, I'd love to make the commitment to you in serving your family needs for child care. A little bit about me: I'm CPR and First Aid certified for adults and infants. I've had professional work experience in child care from Newborns - High School for 8 years. I've worked as a nanny for individual families and in a daycare setting while I was working on my degree. I have my Masters in Social Work with a focus on family dynamics and child development. I currently work as a children and family therapist at the YWCA. The reason I am looking for a change is because I had my son in December 2024. My entire pregnancy, I expected to go back to work no problem, but he stole my heart! I want a job where I can have the best of both worlds (working with families/children & spending Read more time with my son). I'm passionate, hard working, flexible, and of course open to any methods of advisory you would like me to implement with your children. I am a passionate caregiver, and I instantly fall in love with meeting new children. Getting to know their personalities and what they love to do is the best part of nannying to me. I love to cook and of course follow any dietary or allergy restrictions your child may have. I'm comfortable driving with children. In my last nanny position, I took her everywhere from the park, library, and fun local events! Have laundry? No problem, because I can help with that as well when you need it. No worries about pets either, as long as they're comfortable with me, I am with them! Thank you so much for your time. I'll answer any questions you have, and the best of luck to your search. *I do want to note that I would be bringing my son with me to care for your kiddo(s). I do have experience caring for multiple children at a time from siblings in my nanny role and when I was a daycare provider. I completely understand if you would not be comfortable with me bringing my son, and I still wish you all the best in finding the right fit for your family :) -Karah Geyer
