I’m a dedicated nanny whose professional experience with children goes back 6 years. Starting with a 3 month old boy whom I have nannied, and still help out with at almost 7 years old. I have watched kids from the ages of infancy to 13 with many different backgrounds and disabilities. Some of these include cerebral palsy, mild autism, and ADHD. I am passionate about helping kids and find my strong suit in developing independence, confidence and learning to self regulate their emotions. I have multiple techniques to help with the strong emotions that often occur with little ones and have great confidence in implementing them. I have helped to set up schedules for parents to help with the daily struggles of life. I love to teach an abundance of materials from basic knowledge to fine motor skills and even speech development. My style of teaching is definitely gentle and Read more patient. I am always learning though as well new ways to help them thrive. I have a creative mind myself and love to bring out fun engaging activities to explore different areas of interests. I love to help flourish a child’s natural talents and encourage new ones to develop. I also love to cook and don’t mind getting messy with children or to teach them a new skill in life. Playing is just as important to me for the child as education is. It helps build and strengthen preexisting brain connections, and help with complex social situations which I am very passionate about contributing to. I have been working part time with two older aged children since August of 2023 so my availability does differ week to week. I also feel inclined for transparency reasons to disclose that I am married to a woman, so if that is something you may be against I am probably not the right candidate for you.

Victoria is amazing with our 7 month old son! He is very active and he loves playing with Victoria! We needed someone who could be consistent and come on a regular basis, Victoria has been great with communicating and I look forward to continuing to work with her.

Victoria has been wonderful with our 6 month old girl and 8 yr old boy. She has occasionally babysat for us since the youngest was approximately 2 months old. Our son loves having her over to play board games or watch movies. Although we usually have bad timing and ask last minute, she has been very flexible for our date nights. We're able to enjoy our time out knowing they're in good hands. We really appreciate her and could not think of anyone better to care for them.
