Hi, I'm Carolyn! I'm a former preschool teacher and after-school program director with over 30 years of experience working with children. I'm looking for a full-time nanny position with a family I can really get to know. I'm warm, silly, and patient, and I stay calm when kids are having a hard day. I love baking together, getting outside, and playing along when a cardboard box becomes a rocket ship. I'm just as comfortable helping with homework, keeping routines on track, and setting kind, consistent boundaries. What I love most is getting to know each child for who they are: what makes them laugh, what sparks their curiosity, and what helps them feel brave enough to try something new. Parents can count on me to show up, follow through, and share the little moments they would've loved to see. I'd love to be someone your kids are excited to see walk through the door and someone you feel at ease leaving them with.
Carolyn directed an afterschool program that my daughter attended. She is an INCREDIBLE educator, caregiver, and early childhood education leader. She knew exactly how to handle my daughter’s “big feelings,” sensitively created a healing space during a family loss, designed multisensory activities that met my chil’s interests and stretched her skills, and established a warm, friendly, and fun environment for kids, parents, and staff. We miss Carolyn and recommend her without hesitation!
