Experience: 10 yrs
For the past 5 years I've cared for 2 babies from birth to 5 years old; recently they relocated. I taught them to love learning & potty trained both. Prior to that, I was with 2 other families for 5 years each; newborn to kindergarten. I maintain close relations with all of my former families. I also have raised 4 kind & successful adults of my own. I am a teacher, certified with a M. Ed. in Early Childhood Ed, B. S. in Elementary Ed and have a program specialist certificate in ESOL. I have over 40 years of childcare & teaching experience. I am an energetic, outgoing, fun-loving sitter who can also lead educational activities. I love taking walks and being outside. As a bonus, I enjoy newborn & infant care. Want a 12 hour mini-vacation (noon-midnight)? I'll rock, feed, change & love your baby while you rejuvenate. I live in Folly Beach & would prefer to only travel about 20 minutes.
No review could ever fully do justice to how wonderful Renee is. She was our nanny for five years, beginning when our daughter was just three months old and continuing through the birth of our son, until our family moved out of the country a few months ago. She worked full time caring for our children from infancy to ages five and two, and over that time she became part of our family. Renee brings so much more than excellent childcare. She genuinely loves and cares for the children she looks after as if they were her own. This is evident in the extraordinary relationships she has built over decades as a nanny. She remains in touch with literally every child she has cared for, many of whom are now adults, and has maintained close relationships with their families as well. That speaks volumes about the kind of person she is and the impact she has on the families fortunate enough to have her in their lives. She is also a true educator. Renee never approaches a day with children as something to simply get through. She is constantly thinking about their development and unique needs and she thoughtfully adapts play and activities to help them learn and grow. She has an incredible ability to nurture children while also encouraging their independence and curiosity. Both of our kids truly love books and learning and we attribute this in no small part to Renee. On top of all of this, Renee is exceptionally dependable, organized, professional, and responsible. She is someone you can trust completely, which as a parent is invaluable. With Renee, we always had peace of mind knowing that our children were not simply safe but also genuinely engaged and well cared for. We can think of about a hundred little anecdotes demonstrating how Renee will go above and beyond. The only reason Renee is no longer our nanny is that we moved out of the country. If we could have brought her with us, we absolutely would have. She really is that extraordinary. Our children love Renee deeply and consider her part of our family, and so do we. We cannot imagine giving anyone a stronger recommendation. You simply will not find a more experienced, devoted, or trustworthy person to care for your children. Any family lucky enough to have Renee in their lives will quickly understand just how special she is. We give Renee our absolute highest recommendation, without reservation.
