I am 27 years old. I have worked with kids since a young age and have been a nanny professionally for the past 7+ years. I have cared for children from birth to 14 years of age (1 to 6 kids at a time). I used to help out in Kids Ministry at church as well with up to 8 kids in a class. I enjoy helping kids with brain development and reaching milestones through reading, music, and games. I help strengthen their fine and gross motor skills with appropriate activities. I make sure older children learn to do basic chores, learn to follow directions, and stay safe. I make healthy meals and snacks and can help with taking the kids to their appointments and run errands if needed. I have my Newborn Care Specialist and Doula certifications and currently working one my Early Childhood Education degree. I have reliable Read more transportation and a good driving record. I don't mind having a background check done or getting paid on the books. I am also Adult/Pediatric CPR/FA/AED certified.

Kidist was especially responsive and responsible. She's really easy to work with, my son loved her and I'd still be using her if it weren't for the pandemic.

My wife and I had Kidist sit for our 2 and 8 year old daughters for an afternoon and evening. During this time she walked them to the park, fed them dinner and put the 2 year old to bed, which can be a testing experience! Our 8 year old had nothing but good things to say about Kidist and said she was extremely nice and attentive. I would absolutely recommend her.
