Experience: 10 yrs
I have 20 + years nanny experience and took early childhood development classes, plus 7 additional years experience in elderly care. In high school, I worked at childcare programs . I love adding to a families day by bringing creativity to each day. I love being silly and teaching in fun ways. I have made some life long friends in families I worked for. I feel fortunate their paths crossed. I have experience with all ages, newborn-high school. I have worked with children with disabilities, such as Aspergers. I love going to parks, nature centers, swimming, the zoo, cooking with kids and doing art projects. I read in character voices to bring books to life and often randomly will start singing songs that go with things we are doing. Being able to make others smile makes me happy. I love doing extras around the house when time allows.
I am delighted to write this review for Elizabeth, who has been an exceptional nanny and household manager for our family over the past four years. Elizabeth's unwavering commitment to our children's well-being, growth, and happiness has made her an invaluable part of our household. Elizabeth provided a safe, loving, and engaging environment where our children thrived. She planned educational activities, assisted with homework, organized creative play, and managed daily routines with dedication and care. Her ability to balance discipline with kindness made her a trusted figure in our children's lives. My husband and I both work from home, and I travel quite a bit for work. Elizabeth's ability to manage our household and care for our children has been especially valuable given our busy schedules. She has consistently adapted to our dynamic needs and ensured that everything runs smoothly in our absence. In addition to her childcare responsibilities, Elizabeth excelled in managing various aspects of our household. She maintained our family calendar, coordinated school schedules, extracurricular activities, and appointments seamlessly. Elizabeth planned and prepared nutritious meals, ensured our home was always clean and well-organized, handled errands efficiently, liaised with service providers, and organized family gatherings with meticulous attention to detail. Elizabeth also provided exceptional care for our aging pet and also assisted with the integration and care of our new rescue puppy. Elizabeth consistently went above and beyond, often anticipating our family's needs before we even voiced them. Her proactive approach, exceptional organizational skills, and genuine care for our family's well-being have made her an irreplaceable part of our lives. I wholeheartedly recommend Elizabeth to any family seeking a compassionate, reliable, and highly capable nanny and house manager. She is a true professional who approaches her work with integrity and a positive attitude. We will deeply miss her presence in our home but are confident she will bring the same level of excellence to her next role.
