I'm a professional career nanny with 8 years of experience, 13 years in childcare, and a background in preschool teaching. As a certified Newborn Care Specialist, my expertise lies in caring for newborns through toddlerhood. I'd love to join a family with an infant and grow alongside you as your family does! I specialize in supporting developmental milestones, early childhood education, gentle parenting with clear boundaries and postive redirection, emotional intelligence, outdoor exploration, engaging screen-free activities, potty training, and more. I believe the early years are foundational to a child's confidence, security, and self-expression. I approach childcare with respect for these formative years, creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment that encourages growth and exploration. If this sounds like the right fit, I'd love to partner with your family and contribute to your child's life! Seeking 30-50 hours a week :)
Justine has worked for our family for just over two years. She came to us when our youngest was about 1.5 and our oldest had just turned 4. She is always very punctual and comes up with creative activity and craft ideas for the kids and modifies as they learn new skills at various ages. She is well versed in all the gentle parenting techniques and even borrowed our Whole Brain Child book for her own education. She is active and strong so able to do lots of fun physical activities with them as well. The kids love her and see her as a member of the family. While she wasn’t with us when our children were infants, I would trust her with mine if we had had a third child. We are happy to chat with anyone interested in learning more about our family’s experience with Justine.
