Loving Career Nanny With 20+ Years Experience

Responds within a day

Being a nanny is my chosen profession and I love my career! I am proud to play a vital role in the development of the children in my care. I have been a nanny/ driver for many wonderful families over the past 23 years . I have experience in group settings, I am a newborn care specialist and also have experience with twins and special needs children I am happy to help out with all home chores, including laundry, light housekeeping, shopping, running errands, caring for pets, cooking, etc. I have a perfect driving record and a four wheel drive car that I can use to transport children, if needed. I am CPR certified and a college graduate. I am also fully Covid 19 vaccinated. When I had my children, who are now grown, I decided to work in childcare. This enabled me to stay closer to my kids. I soon realized that I had found my passion! I have an extensive resume as well as many references that are available at your request. I look forward to hearing from wonderful families!

Barbara has worked with us for the last few months, and would still be working with us if she was not moving. Although it breaks our hearts to lose Barbara, we know that she will be an amazing addition to another family. Barbara is punctual, flexible, loving, creative, and a true miracle worker. She was able to oversee my oldest son's online learning, while still entertaining my youngest. The ease at which she did all of this and kept the boys fed and happy, leaves me in awe. (My boys are 3 and 6, and with the amount they eat daily, feeding them could be a full time job.) Both of my boys light up when they would see Barbara. My whole family absolutely adores her. Having Barbara here has been a blessing, she has brought so much joy to my family and has made me going back to work as stress-free as possible. I cannot say enough good things about Barbara, and I know that you will feel the same about her.

Giving On Purpose

Much of my experience with providing companion care has been with relatives. That being my great aunt who recently passed away. I cared for her a few days out the week by assisting her with light house cleaning, cooking and running errands or taking her to her doctor's appointment. Most times I would just keep her company and be the person she could talk too. At times that's all that a person needs. I'm glad I was able to share that time her; my hope is to do the same for others in need as well. Lastly, if you need House cleaning service (kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and etc.) I'm your girl and honestly I enjoy cleaning! Its quite therapeutic for me :) . Given everything that's going on in the world, that's the last thing on your mind. Allow me to relive you from your trouble and provide you a clean home with a peace of mind.

Hi! I am very interested in acquiring a caregiving job. I have completed 20 hours of training as a Home Health Aid so far and am planning to continue to learn more. I have experience working with the elderly at an assisted living facility from 2015 to 2017. I learned a lot then about the special needs of the elderly and I have the ability to provide professional but courteous service. I can confidently say I have the stamina and training to assist individuals by helping them in and out of bed, getting dressed, bathing, and helping them with their meals. I'm able to travel to the clients home and run errands. Being able to help with basic daily activities I can also perform housekeeping duties. I have good time management skills and I am able to multitask too. I have lots of patience and I would enjoy talking with and providing companionship for whoever my client is. Thank you for taking the time to read and I hope to talk to you soon!

Compassionate, Experienced Personal Care Assistant

I was a practicing dental hygienist for years - a profession requiring close physical contact and the establishment of trust with people from all demographics, presenting with a wide variety of medical, social, and psychological challenges. This experience has provided me with a firm foundation for caregiving work. I am a friendly, compassionate person who is a good listener, and engages others easily. I currently hold a part-time position as a personal assistant to a senior widow who has underlying health conditions, making her at-risk for COVID. I provide companionship, run errands, do light housekeeping, and accompany her to doctor's appointments to ensure that her concerns are addressed thoroughly, and any instructions are understood. I find this work personally rewarding, and well-suited to my personality and skills. When I was a hygienist, my favorite patients were my seniors - they always had the best stories!
