Experience: 10 yrs
(Currently employed but open to job opportunities for full time work) AVAILABLE AS EARLY AS JAN 1, 2026. I have been a long-term nanny for seven families and have worked many others in short-term positions over the past 18 years. I've done nanny shares for the past seven years. I love children and have worked with all ages, but I especially love newborns. I like to play, sing, walk and talk with them. I have experience watching multiple children and babies at a time. I am experienced with preparing bottles and meals, and putting babies and kids to sleep. I carry a current CPR certification for infants and toddlers.
Nora has been with our family for almost three years, and we truly cannot say enough good things about her. We are only transitioning because our daughter now requires daily transportation and Nora does not drive, although she has reliable transportation to and from work. If circumstances were different, we would keep her forever. Nora is loving, trustworthy, and exceptional with young children. She teaches through play, plans engaging educational activities, and incorporates sign language into daily routines. Thanks to her, our daughter is developmentally ahead and even speaks Spanish, which has been such a gift. She loves taking children outside for activities, walks, and play, and maintains minimal to no screen time, keeping the day interactive, engaging, and enriching. Nora is bilingual (Spanish/English), patient, creative, and always brings a calm, positive presence into our home. She is also punctual, caring, dependable, and incredibly committed to the children she cares for. Our daughter absolutely adores her, and past families echo the same sentiment: Nora truly becomes part of the family. We are genuinely so sad to transition and hope she finds her next wonderful family, any home would be lucky to have her.
