Experience: 5 yrs
I have professional experience working with children from infants to teens. Infancy and toddler years are my primary focus, but I am happy to continue working beyond that stage to stay with a growing child or a growing family! Recently I have been working short-term nanny positions, and am looking for another family to work with starting in September 2025. One "version" of me is a fox character, consorting with corvids and faeries! For several years, I attended events in-costume as the caregiver for a fellow performer's child, so that baby and parent could travel together while baby had dedicated attention and care. I am looking for a long-term position near DC, or am open to traveling outside of the area for a short-term position.
Sam filled in for us for a month while we were temporarily between caregivers, and did an amazing job caring for both babies in our nanny share (13 weeks and 19 weeks at the start of the share). They were warm, friendly, and extremely caring with our baby. They also took directions really well-- both babies have torticollis, and our son needs to be encouraged to look to the right as much as possible. Sam did tummy time, stretches, and did their best to make sure everyone's PT needs were met. I had just started going back to work after my maternity leave, and I appreciated how communicative Sam was about how my baby was doing every day.
