Hi, I go by Hayden! I am a highly skilled nanny with over 10 years of experience working with children. I began my professional nanny career in 2016. As a caregiver, I am patient and attentive. My approach with children is one based on respect and fostering a child's independence. My background in gender studies informs my approach to engaging with children's curiosities about other people. I am adept at attending to the emotional, educational, physical, and behavioural needs of children 0-10 years. I have experience working with newborns, infants, toddlers, preschoolers, multiples, and children who have ASD & ADHD. My childcare philosophy is based on a combination of some of my favourite approaches, including Montessori, RIE/Pikler,. I speak French, know a little bit of ASL, and I am new to Philadelphia (originally from Montreal). I am fully vaccinated, certified in Basic First Aid & CPR-AED, and very COVID conscious.
Hayden has been our nanny full time for a year and a half, since my son was 4 months old. Hayden's 10+ years of nanny experience with babies and toddlers has been SUCH a gift to our family. I work from home and regularly observe Hayden’s interactions with my toddler. I am constantly impressed by their patience, creativity, and dedication. Hayden is an expert at the two the parts of a baby’s first year that I find most challenging as a parent 1) sleep schedules 2) introducing solids. With sleep, Hayden kept diligent records of my baby’s sleep, suggesting thoughtful changes to his routine as appropriate. My son is now an excellent sleeper who happily goes down for naps independently in his crib (this was not true for my eldest, so it’s not my doing!). With solids, Hayden’s understanding of baby-led-weaning and babies’ nutrient needs meant I could fully trust them to prepare my son’s snacks and meals in an age-appropriate way. They were diligent about safety and creative about introducing new foods. Now that my son is a toddler, Hayden is still regularly preparing food for my son to meet his current needs. Just this week, that’s included healthy muffins to eat on the walk to the park, a new recipe to get him to eat more egg, and healthy popsicles to survive a heatwave. We had two nannies with my first kid, but it’s been a completely different (wonderful and much less stressful!) experience having Hayden around for our second.
