I am a 20+ year professional early childhood care provider. I have my BA in Psychology with an emphasis in early childhood development from Rutgers. I have extensive experience working with children from newborn through teenagers. Throughout my career, I have had opportunities to work as a preschool teacher & preschool director. I hold director credentials in NJ & FL. For the past 10 years, I have been working as a nanny for several different families. Currently, I nanny part-time for an adorable & bright 2. 5-year-old boy and we have been together from the time he was 10 weeks old. I also nanny for a 15-month-old boy 2 days a week. We have been together for one year. I can provide solid references from past & current clients of mine. I am CPR & First Aid trained. My main goal as a child care professional is to provide a safe & loving environment for your children- and become a helpful extension to your family for years to come.

Heather is a fantastic babysitter! She is capable, reliable and experienced with toddlers. She is always punctual and we know our little one is in good hands. Would definitely recommend Heather!

Heather nannied for my family for over a year. She had an amazing relationship with my son. I felt so comfortable leaving him in her very capable hands. 

Heather has been a fantastic nanny for our son for just over 2 years now. She is caring, kind, responsible, trustworthy and the list goes on. Mostly importantly she keeps him occupied with creative activities to keep his little mind learning and having fun. It is clear she loves working with children and our son adores her!

My son really enjoyed Heather's company!!! She always had fun activities and projects that she would bring over and do with him. Heather is extremely patient and it really shows that she loves what she does. I highly recommend her to anybody looking for a Nanny!!!

Heather joined our family for one year and watched our two young children (ages 1 and 3 initially). Heather was caring and patient with both children but especially our very spirited one year old! She frequently brought crafts and art supplies to our house and both kids enjoyed the special activities. Heather was flexible, punctual and invested in helping our family. We were sorry we couldn't keep her longer!

Heather cared for our 6 month old while we were at a wedding. She was wonderful and our baby was very happy with her! I plan to use Heather again next time we are in town. She was amazing! 

We hired Heather to watch our 3 year old for a much needed date night.  She was friendly and kept our very busy 3 year old son entertained while also juggling the needs of our needy and just as active 60 lb dog.  
Our son was so excited about the Giraffe that Miss Heather built out of Lego's that we couldn't put it away for a few days.  We will definitely be hiring Heather again.

Hired Heather to watch our 4 month old son in a hotel at Asbury park while we attended a wedding. She was responsive, punctual and left us at ease. She put our son to bed and took great care of him. Would hire her again in a heartbeat!

Heather watched my 3 month old son, along with our friends' same-aged son, when we were in town for a wedding. She handled the two boys like a pro, and managed to keep them happy, fed and rested- all in a small hotel room! She kept us both updated with texts and photos, which gave us peace of mind that our little guys were being well-cared for. We will definitely hire Heather again when we are back in New Jersey. 

Heather was wonderful!  She watched our 3.5 and 1 year old girls for two nights when we were in the area on vacation. She went out of her way to entertain them at our hotel. She was on time, so friendly and easy to coordinate with. Can't recommend her enough!

Heather was wonderful with two 12 week old babies. She expertly managed both in a small hotel room while we were at a wedding. She was very knowledgeable about infants, very sweet with the babies, and in good communication with us. It's hard to find someone so excellent with newborns, and Heather was excellent. 

Heather is always punctual, reliable, trustworthy, and my kids love her. I highly recommend her. 

My family loves Heather! She has made my transition returning to work so easy. My four children look forward to her being here. She helps around the house while taking excellent care of my children and puppy. Heather is responsible, a great communicator, reliable, has common sense, and my kids think she is so much fun! I highly recommend her!

Heather is a caring and wonderful caregiver for our 5 year old daughter. My daughter loves being with Heather and together they make crafts, sing, dance and cook! Couldn't ask for a better person to watch my daughter when I am at work!

Heather is fantastic - both of my boys truly adore her. Even my one who does not do change or new situations well. She is the best!

We love her! She was wonderful with my daughter and always felt comfortable with her being in Heather's care.  Great caregiver!

Heather is professional and amazing with kids!   Very detail oriented and safety is her number one goal.

Heather worked for me recently, caring for my 2 year old daughter.

She was both extremely professional, and very warm, which is exactly what I was looking for.  Heather arrived a few minutes early, and right away I could see she had the education and experience and she advertised. She was immediately able to relate to my child on my child   s level, and I could see that my daughter felt safe and secure.  She engaged Heather, and was very comfortable letting me leave for work. Her kindness and patience were immediately evident.

Heather was easily able to work around my child's schedule. She offered various educational activities throughout the day, as well as healthy snacks and meals. 

Overall, I give Heather my highest recommendation.  She is honest, dependable, and kind.  With her background (education and experience) and the strong abilities to connect with children, she can definitely offer everything a family would be looking for in a child care provider in any capacity.
