About Heather

Experience: 7 yrs

Over the course of my four years in college, I have always found ways to babysit or nanny on the side. Being around children has always brought me joy, and I have been lucky enough to care for kids of all ages. I have worked as a full time summer nanny for 4 and 7-year-old girls, a part time year round nanny for a 5-year-old boy and a 9-year-old girl, the "executive director babysitter" through American Dance Festival, where I regularly cared for an 8-year-old boy and a 10-year-old girl, and held a weekly babysitting job for a family from the time their daughter was 4 months-3 years old. My background in teaching dance has given me the tools I need to connect with children in a way that makes them feel comfortable, encourages them to be creative, and keeps them entertained. I am comfortable preparing meals, providing transportation, helping with homework, bedtime routines, etc. and confident in my ability to find creative, exciting ways to engage with children throughout the day.

Heather has been the most perfect nanny for our family for the past 1+ years. She has become a treasured part of our family and indispensable part of our household watching our 2.5 and 4 year old girls. She truly engages with our children at their level every single day--they dance, do crafts, bake, do their chores, swim, explore parks and story time sessions, are learning to read with her, and so much more. She enforces our rules and is particularly adept at talking to the kids in age appropriate ways about feelings and big topics. We hired Heather during the worst of the pandemic and always felt so safe having her in our super cautious bubble--she followed our health and safety rules, is a great communicator, and we always felt safe when our kids were with her. We are going to miss her so much and know any family she nannies or babysits will be incredibly lucky.
