This is the background check we require for all caregivers.
Experience: 10 yrs
I'm a dedicated nanny with over 10 years of experience caring for infants and toddlers. My approach centers on child-led routines and play-based learning, encouraging creativity, independence, and joyful exploration. I love incorporating crafts, singing, dancing and lots of outdoor play into each day to keep little ones engaged and growing. I'm also a homeschooling mom to a sweet and social 4-year-old daughter who joins me during care. She loves making new friends and adds a fun and friendly dynamic to our daily activities. I'm available for up to 35 hours a week and always strive to create a warm, nurturing, and enriching environment for the children in my care.

We have had the privilege of having Raven as our full-time, in-home nanny over the past 3 years. When she began working with us, she cared for our 1 year old daughter. Since that time, we have also welcomed a son, who is now 1 year old. Our children love Raven and her daughter, who accompanies Raven. Our daughters have become best friends. We have never had any issues with having them both in our home. In fact, having her daughter here has help our children develop socially. Raven maintains a high level of care for our children, while also caring for her daughter. Raven has always been punctual, respectful, professional, and reliable. We have appreciated her knowledge and experience in child development and child safety. We have never had any concerns about our children while in her care. Our children enjoy her fun-loving spirit and her ability to meet them on their level. She is constantly finding fun, new activities to engage them and encourage them to learn new things. There aren't enough words to express the positive impact Raven has had on our family. Raven and her daughter are like part of our family. We highly recommend Raven as a Nanny and caregiver.
