About Heidi

Hi, my name is Heidi and I've been in the childcare industry since I was in middle school. I always knew that working with children was my thing. I got my degree in Early Childhood Education in 2001. After graduation I was a preschool teacher in Boston. After a year I was asked by one of the families from the school to go to France with them to be their English speaking nanny. After just over a year I came home to Boston and became the nanny for a family for 7 years. When I started there were 4 teenagers home ending with one by the time I finished. Since the kids have always been at school I worked at a gym daycare which I managed, so I handle the schedule and making sure all the children are safe and having fun while their parents workout. I also babysit all over town and have met some really great families. Leaving that family was so hard, but it was time since the children had all grown up. I'm now with a really wonderful family with a 9-year-old boy and 6-year-old girl. I have been with them for the past year and it has been really special since I now bring my new baby girl with me every day. The children love her and it really works with their schedule with them both being in school during the day. While the children are at school I take care of the laundry, grocery shopping, keeping the house tidy, start dinners, make all the appointments for the kids, house and cars. I also do a lot of organizing and projects around the house. I plan the kids' schedules and sign them up and take them to their activities and play dates. I love being a nanny and being part of the family dynamics. I feel as though I'm a terrific role model having had an amazing up bringing and education to reach all my goals. Since I have been in both the school setting and home, I definitely know that I love working with a family. I truly feel that parents and I work as a team to raise confident, happy, well adjusted children. I'm happy with the family I'm with right now but because of schedule changes I'd like to see what else is out there. I have been so fortunate to bring my daughter with me and I'd love to find another family that we can all grow together. I have incredible work ethics and I believe in teaching children the same. Helping busy parents so that they can spend their free time together as a family is important to me. I hope to hear from you soon. I have a list of amazing references at your request. Thank you, Heidi
