I have dedicated the past 43 years to caring for children, building a career that spans teaching, babysitting, and serving as a professional nanny. My journey began as a teacher in various daycare centers, where my dedication and rapport with children consistently impressed parents. Many of these parents entrusted me with babysitting their children, which naturally evolved into long-term nanny positions. Over the years, I have worked with numerous families, including caring for twins for five years and triplets for three and a half years. I not only provided childcare but also facilitated educational play to foster learning and development. One family entrusted me to accompany them and their children to Hawaii during the summer, ensuring their children were engaged, challenged, and entertained in meaningful ways. Beyond childcare, I am also an experienced pet sitter, with a deep love for animals. Many of the families I worked with had pets, Read more and caring for them became a natural extension of my role. My work with children and animals has been both fulfilling and rewarding, and I take great pride in creating enriching experiences for those in my care.
