About April
Experience: 9 yrs
Hi there! My name is April and I'm 29 years old. I'm one of my parents' eight children, the middle one to be exact! Being a part of a large family with a super busy and hectic household, quickly allowed me to gain the skills necessary to raising kids and managing a home. It taught me to be creative and caring with the other kids. It also taught me about leadership and to "see a need and take the lead". This has greatly helped in my career as a nanny! I'm very confident and passionate about helping children grow and develop through cultivating an environment rich in love and creative immersive play. I'm NOT a fan of screen time because there is so much more to do and learn. I love outdoor activities that help children develop imaginations (that is something screen time kills). I genuinely enjoy playing along with the children and entering their little worlds. To me, Nannying isn't just a job, it's an opportunity to invest in the next generation.

April nannied for my 2 year old son from Jan 2022-June 2022 in a nanny share situation. During this time, she had many personal issues arise she had to attend to, and took numerous days off of work. She started to become very unreliable. One Friday, she abruptly said she no longer wanted to continue work for my family, and quit suddenly, with ZERO notice, not abiding by the contract of 4 weeks. During her time with us, she showed lack of communication, zero transparency, and lack of enthusiasm for her job and boys. Quitting with no notice showed her irresponsibility. In trying to discuss this situation with her, she became very combative, defensive, and childish, and even showed no concern or empathy for my son and the situation. Unfortunately, I would not trust April with any children or recommend April for any future nanny positions. I hope this helps you make an informed decision.
