I have a passion for childcare, caretaking, and family assistant duties and consider them part of my higher calling rather than just a profession. Here's my chance to make a positive, purposeful, and joyful impact in your family life with your children. I have over 10+ years of experience with infant, toddler, elementary, and middle school children (tweens) as well as experience with multiplies and twins. In addition, I have experience and training with ADD/ADHD children as well as children with special needs. Playful, active, and engaging relying on little to no screen time. Instead, I choose age-appropriate activities such as arts and crafts, reading, board games, and outdoor play to develop and reach age-appropriate milestones. I have recent and older experience with positive references with some of my current families that I am still in touch with. In addition to being a "Nanny" other experiences with children have been Read more as a teacher's aid for "special needs children", summer full time live in nanny, and personal home/family assistant. Some travel experience as a "resort nanny" working winter months in a ski resort town (Park City, Utah) which enabled me to work with all types of diverse families and children of all ages across the United States! What an adventure of a lifetime! In addition, Im good at managing and organizing households as well as meal prepping and cooking light healthy meals. Nutrition and health-conscious with knowledge about food allergies/sensitivities. I am a proactive self-starter and hands-on with a pitch-in attitude yet easygoing. I am Trustline Certified and Fingerprinted. (Extra background check for criminal, sexual, and driver's licenses.) Excellent references upon request and serious hires only. Please note my hourly rate depends on the number of children and duties involved as a caretaker/nanny/family assistant.
