Hi families! I'm an experienced nanny and childcare provider with both a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Social Work and a genuine love for working with children. I've been nannying privately since 2022, and I've also provided individual and group childcare for the children of professional baseball players with the Chicago Cubs and San Diego Padres through KiddieCorp. My experience also includes working in early childhood education. With my background in childcare and school social work, I understand how important it is for children to feel safe, supported, and comfortable being themselves. I'm patient, dependable, and love creating a fun, nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and feel cared for. I also value open communication with parents and understand how much trust goes into choosing someone to care for your children.
I genuinely could not recommend Serena more. She started watching our first daughter when she was only 4 months old and she was a true life saver. I was so nervous as a first time mom and I felt comfortable with her immediately. She helped us through nap transitions, teething, and overall just keeping my life together. If we were still in the same city she would still be with us! She’s forever part of our family and you would be so lucky to have her ❤️
