Hi! I have 13 years of experience as a nanny, and I spent 1 extremely rewarding year as a substitute paraeducator. Along side that I have been a nanny for children on the spectrum as well as with seizure disorders, I would take them to all of their therapy and follow through with exercises at home. My degree is in Media Arts and Animation, and my experience with art and my passion for cultivating creativity in children shows when I break out the arts & crafts. Every child under my care receives unconditional love as if they were my own. I understand that adaptability, along with constant learning and growth, are imperative in this role as no two children's needs are identical. I tailor the way I teach, nurture, and show love to each child. I've researched child development for more hours than I am willing to admit, and because of that, I incorporate music, dance, cooking, and baking as learning tools and ways to help their brains grow and develop. Let's chat for more!

    Ever since we've begun communications with Heather in hopes to find a loving caregiver for our daughter, she has been so wonderful. She was such a pleasure over the initial phone screen and email communication. We then invited her to an on-site interview to meet with our daughter, and she brought a specially-crafted developmental toy/project for our daughter with her! It was so touching and meant a lot that she took the time to research more about our daughter's condition. Heather was extremely punctual and arrived early for the interview. Not only is Heather a kind, sweet, caring person, she is passionate about caring for others and brings a depth of knowledge and creativity with her. We are in hopes to have Heather come work with our daughter next week to see if it could be a long-term fit. So far, Heather has been so reliable, knowledgeable, and extremely communicative ever since we engaged in conversations with her. She is a genuinely sweet person; blessed to have met her :-).
