Why are you interested in working as a Nanny or Babysitter? I love working with children! Being around kids is so joyful and provides such great perspective on adult life. I would like to work in a classroom one day, and even would love to start and run my own private wilderness preschool someday! Both of my parents, my grandparents, and many of my extended family members are educators, and I have always known I would like to work with children. For now, nannying has been the most rewarding work for me as I continue toward further ECE certifications.

What qualities are important in a Nanny or Babysitter?Open communication and clear expectations between a nanny and a family are essential. Nannies must be able to maintain a balance of professionalism even while being a part of a family's most intimate daily routines. I take pride in being as loving and fun and enthusiastic with the children I care for as I am professional and reliable for their parents.

Additional comments:I would love to also provide meal preparation and personal chef services to a family as well as childcare for additional income. I am an excellent healthy cook for both children and families. I have knowledge and professional experience in cooking, even vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, and other allergy sensitive cuisines.
