About Martha

Experience: 20 yrs

I started babysitting when I was 13 yrs. old. I have been a nanny for 11 years. I love kids & have lots of experience taking care of infants, twins, & older children. I worked for a school district for 5 yrs., as a teachers aide, in various classrooms, including a special needs class. I raised 2 daughters of my own, including one who was deaf & had other special needs. I enjoy teaching sign language to the kids I nanny for. My 1st nanny job was 3 yrs. When I started, I the kids were 3 & newborn twins. I have been at my 2nd nanny job for the past 8 yrs. I started there with a newborn, & now watch 3 boys. My current duties include cleaning up after the kids, loading & unloading the dishwasher, light housekeeping, laundry, running errands, cooking meals etc. The more I can do to help the parents, the more they can focus on their family. I believe experience & the amount of duties should reflect the salary. I enjoy taking the children I nanny for to the park, Children's Museum, swimming, play dates with other nanny friends etc., as well as hanging out reading, baking cookies, playing games & other activities at the house. I have loved watching the children I have nannied for grow & hope to do the same with your children.

Martha watched my daughters for nearly three years. She was always very responsive when we asked her to babysit, and I was always completely confident my girls were in good hands when Martha was with them. She was always open to taking the girls on outings, or just playing at home. Martha was very caring with the girls, but also able to enforce the house rules in a kind manner.
