About Joan

Experience: 3 yrs

I am a retired Pediatric Occupational Therapist with 30+ years and a natural-born caregiver. I have dedicated my life to nurturing children and fostering their growth. My patience and sense of humor allows me to connect easily with children. I promise to be firm when it comes to enforcing house rules made by the parents. I will keep your child busy with outdoor sports, games, hiking, educational games, arts and crafts and I'm more than happy to help them with their homework. I strive to provide a well-rounded experience that fosters learning and fun while discouraging watching TV, aimless internet scrolling and video games, etc. I have extensive experience with newborns, infants, toddlers and twins. I am happy to provide excellent resources upon request.

Joanie has been nannying for my twins since they were 6 months old (they just turned 4 in Feb). She has become part of our family and I can’t say enough about her. My kids adore her. She does so much with them and basically runs school and a gym at my house. She is reliable and responsible. We absolutely love her!!
