I am a social worker with 30+ years of experience working with children and families. I'm run a Nanny share program, teaching caregivers how to work with special needs and at risk children. I am now caring for my granddaughters ages 2 and 1 as their father passed away a little over a year ago in a motorcycle accident. I am looking for another family to work with who would consider a nanny share. We visit library programs, park and rec programs, tot/ tyke times, and other fun and educational programs in the community. I also do a preschool program for 2-4 year olds. Working with the children keeps me young and I love watching them learn and grow. I also have a lifeguarding certificate and teach them how to swim, and I'm a zumbini instructor. I teach toothbrushing and toilet training. And I can work with you on pricing Read more as this is what a nanny share allows. I would love to see if we'd be a good fit.
