Experience: 10 yrs
I am a fun-loving, nurturing, and professional nanny from Sweden, currently seeking a wonderful family to work with. With over 11 years of experience in childcare, I have cared for infants, toddlers, and children ages 5-12. My approach to childcare is rooted in knowledge, experience, a strong work ethic, and a genuine passion for excellence. I believe children thrive with structure, warmth, and positive role models who lead by example. I am very hands-on and enjoy engaging children through play, outdoor activities, and learning experiences such as trips to the zoo, library, and park. I also support families by handling healthy meal preparation, light housekeeping, kids' laundry, and school routines, including carpooling. Families describe me as reliable, energetic, and caring, with a great sense of humor that helps me connect naturally with children. I truly love what I do and take pride in creating a safe, happy, and supportive environment where children can grow and flourish.
Finding someone you truly trust with your children is one of the hardest things as a parent — and Awa made that experience much easier for our family. Awa has been caring for our twin boys on weekends and overnight stays for over two years now, and I honestly couldn’t be more grateful. She is warm, genuine personality that put both me and the boys completely at ease. The boy's took to her right away. She handles overnights with complete confidence and care, and I am at ease leaving my boys with her. She is attentive, loving, and good with them. You can tell she genuinely enjoys what she does. She is reliable, trustworthy, and wonderful with kids, I am lucky to have found her, highly recommend!
