About Irene
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Educated, fun, energetic, reliable nanny, with 15+ years caring for newborns to teenagers. Very patient, not easily rattled, and can roll with the punches. Spilled milk and kids' tantrums are all in a day's work. I enjoy teaching and am willing to take a child's lead in learning and recreation, answering all questions respectfully and with insight. I always seek fresh ideas and activities to help them discover something new and encourage their imagination and intellectual curiosity. I can help with homework, projects, and yes, even manners. Sports and other age-appropriate activities, e. g., reading, arts and crafts, puzzles, library, zoo, play pretend, and dress-up, all come before TV. If you are interested in someone who will respect your child raising beliefs, values tradition, faith, health, and wellness, has sound judgement and common sense, and a passion and understanding to take children seriously and humorously as little people in their own right, please contact me.

Irene cared for our daughter as her full time nanny from her earliest days as a baby through to her growing into a walking toddler! From the moment I first met Irene I felt I could relax knowing that my daughter was being cared for by someone who has over a decade of caregiving experience and a wonderful warm presence. Irene is incredibly experienced, practical, energetic, and flexible- often coming early or staying late depending on the needs of our family. She also was amazing with our animals - taking our 50lb, basically untrained lab mix on walks daily without batting an eye. She treated our daughter like her own child, helping us to select age-appropriate toys for her, researching the best teethers/toys/clothes as she grew. She also kept our home so neat, organizing rooms, doing laundry and cleaning the kitchen - she likes to stay busy and with both of us working very long hours, her going above and beyond like that made all the difference. We are so lucky to have had her incredibly capable hands with our family!
