Hi! I'm Heaven, a dedicated full-time mom and homeschool teacher to my two wonderful children (ages 3 and 6). With over 8 years of hands-on experience in caregiving, I've developed a nurturing, respectful approach rooted in Gentle Parenting. I believe every child is unique and deserves patience, empathy, and clear boundaries. My days are filled with learning moments.. whether we're cooking, cleaning, doing arts and crafts, or exploring outdoors. I limit screen time and encourage imaginative play and active engagement. I strive to create a safe, joyful space where children feel valued and supported. Parents often describe me as bubbly, kind-hearted, and open-minded. I'm passionate about helping little ones grow with love and confidence
There's nothing simple or easy about searching for a nanny who you can feel comfortable entrusting the well being of your little one to. Thankfully, the stress of that process didn't last too long after finding Heaven here on Care.com! From the very first interaction, Heaven established herself as a passionate and professional caregiver. She was very forthcoming and asked helpful questions throughout to ensure we were on the same page prior to meeting for the first time. After determining that my childcare needs and Heaven's skills and demeanor were in alignment, we did an initial meetup as a final step before moving forward to full time care. For me, cleanliness is a big deal, especially when it comes to my little one. Heaven's home is wonderfully and warmly decorated and regularly kept in a clean and orderly fashion. On that day, my daughter also met her son who is around the same age and they immediately took to one another. It was also very clear after seeing the kids play together, Heaven's parenting style was focused on respect for the children, empowerment, encouragement, empathy, lightheartedness and love. Her warm personality helped to soothe my anxiety as my daughter took to her very quickly. Throughout the time she nannied for us, she provided timely and detailed updates about my child's day, often accompanying them with adorable pictures, a gesture that gave me peace of mind and made my days at work a little brighter. She also ensured my daughter was being mentally and physically stimulated with days filled with practicing letters, writing, reading, math and lots of fun in the sun! Heaven was also remarkably responsive and flexible to scheduling challenges, always placing our needs at the forefront. In short, it is with great sincerity and enthusiasm that I recommend her services for any family seeking a dependable, caring, and professional nanny. I would absolutely seek her out for any future child care needs. Rest assured, with Heaven, your child is in the best hands!
