About Chiara

Experience: 10 yrs

10 years ago I was offered a nanny job from a family friend and it sparked my interest to study early childhood education in college. Since then I've worn all the hats from preschool teacher, toddler/infant teacher, as well as being a independent nanny working privately with families : ) My favorite things to do with children are read stories, play outside/nature adventures/playground, dress up/imaginary play, trampoline, games, puzzles, art, and whatever else they can think up. I like to nurture a child's natural interest! I adore working with all age groups infants to school age :) I even have years of experience caring for seniors and people with dementia as well both at home and in group care settings. I'm also a duck/cat/dog mother and have experience caring for people's animals! At this time I am seeking caretaking work in Mentone Alabama and surrounding areas Monday-Saturday. Take care and I look forward to connecting with you and learning about your care needs

Most recent review

Chiara is a wonderful babysitter and responsible young woman. My wife and I have known her for more than 15 years and began employing her as a babysitter over a year ago. In that time our confidence in that decision has only grown. She is incredibly adaptable in imaginative play with our five year old daughter, quickly shifting from role-playing, to singing, to ballet, to total silliness at a child's flip of a mood/switch! She is not in need of technology (i.e.- TVs, phones, video games, etc.) to entertain kids, and is not addicted to her smart phone as so many of us are these days. I can say these things with confidence since my wife and I work from home and were often nearby and/or able to observe her with our daughter from a distance and gain confidence in Chiara and the engaged attention she pays. Chiara has proven to be extremely reliable and capable of getting our slightly particular daughter to sleep without any stress or anxiety when my wife and I have needed a date night out. I should also point out that when we and another family employed Chiara for both of our daughters at once, she was time and again able to keep both of the girls happy, fed, playful, and conflict-free for long (eight hour) stretches at a time. We still are employing Chiara, but less so now that the school year has begun, so we hope others are able to appreciate her gentle, thoughtful, child care skills too!
