About Joan

Experience: 6 yrs

Greetings, I have experience w/ children since my early youth; I took childhood education during college, then switched majors to what I believed would prep me to serve families at a wider scale. After years in social services, I 'fell back' into education & family care, which I've been doing several years - ranging from newborns to older youth & some w/ special needs. I have a passion for enhancing learning through repetition, fun/ play activities & outings. I enjoy the relationship-building with first-time parents, and that of multiples! My ideal job is to encounter a home where I 'fit in' as family! Part of my childcare philosophy is shadowing a child, monitoring development, allowing exploration & self-expression in a safe & nurturing environment. I'm bilingual, English/ Spanish, a non-smoker & comfortable around pets! I can do light tidying, child's laundry, meal prep & homework help! I would appreciate an opportunity to see if we are a good match. Thank you in advance,

She is an amazing nanny!! She was attentive, kind, and loving towards our baby girl. She was with our daughter from 6 months to 18 months . She was instrumental in helping us with nap training, sleep training, and generally was very knowledgeable about children’s growth and development. It was clear that she cared a lot about our daughter. She was also amazing at taking direction from us as parents while also providing feedback, guidance, and advice. She also helped us transition into daycare. She not only helped our daughter, but she even lent a hand to us in other household items as well. All in all, she aims to be as helpful as she can in all respects and it was highly appreciated. Highly recommend!!
