Hi! I'm Cody, a creative and patient career nanny with a heartfelt passion for nurturing young minds and providing support for the entire family. With 12 years devoted to working with children of all ages and abilities, I bring a multifaceted background to the role of a career nanny. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Integrated Elementary and Special Education. I have experience working in schools, crisis centers, and mental health day treatment rooms. My childcare philosophy centers on nurturing curiosity, independence, and emotional intelligence. I have accumulated an extensive collection of books, games, and educational resources tailored to various ages and stages of development. I use these tools to create an enriching environment full of creative play and learning. In my personal time I love to read, watch soccer, and attend as many concerts as possible. I feel its important to mention I am a gay woman and looking for an accepting family who will make me feel safe in their home.
Cody was hired by our family for a 6 week position and three years later we are struggling to part ways with her because of what an important part of our family she has become. She had an immediate connection with our kids, who were 3 and 2 at the time. She comes prepared with age appropriate educational activities and meets each child where they are both emotionally and developmentally. I have learned things from watching Cody interact with my kids which has made me a better parent. She is flexible, hard working, and was truly meant to work with kids. We are sad to be giving up our time with her, but I know another lucky child or two will benefit from her moving to a new family.
