Hello! For the past year, I have been working full time as a nanny and house manager for a lovely Philadelphia family with two girls under four yo. Unfortunately, last month the father’s business failed and I am looking for another position. The family will provide me with excellent references. I have four years of experience as a live in nanny/housekeeper, and three years as a live out nanny/housekeeper. I have looked after children aged two months and over, up to three children at a time. When living in England, I was a part time nanny for the two boys of Ian McEvan’s (a writer whose many novels have been adapted to screen, including Atonement). I plan to work for the next 15 years, or so, helping families with their households, children, or both. I find it fulfilling and enjoyable. I am fairly skilled with most housekeeping arts, including cooking. Read more I also have experience as a teacher (ESL). I believe in exposing children as early as parents allow to music, books, languages and sports (including swimming). I am therefore happy to organize trips for your little ones to local libraries, book stores, music and gym centers. I offer dependability and maturity. I am an energetic organizer and a planner, so minimum supervision is required. My skills allow me to create a safe and nurturing environment for your little ones, ensuring your peace of mind. I am flexible with hours/days, not minding working on weekends and overnight when necessary. I have a current background check. I have lived at the same address for twelve years. I am Covid vaccinated with boosters and have references. Thank you for reading!
