About Thando
Experience: 10 yrs
With 10 years of experience caring for children of all ages, I've learned that every child is unique and thrives with patient, personalized attention. My work as a nanny has allowed me to make a meaningful impact on young lives while supporting families in creating a safe, loving, and consistent environment. I'm naturally calm, gentle, creative, and friendly, and I always follow the parents' lead when it comes to household rules, routines, and expectations. I value clear communication and am happy to connect through whichever method you prefer. I enjoy engaging children through outdoor play, board games, crafts, and educational activities. I'm comfortable caring for up to two children and bring additional qualifications including First Aid, CPR training, and early childhood development coursework. I'm also happy to help with cooking, crafts, and swimming supervision. My nurturing approach, paired with my experience, makes me confident I would be a strong fit for your family.
Most recent review
Our family loves Thando! She was our baby girl’s nanny from 4 months to 14 months and we couldn’t have been happier with her care. Thando is amazing with babies and toddlers and helped our baby girl’s thrive and helped us get through some really hard days as parents. She knows a lot about baby-caretaking including sleep training, encouraging tummy time, crawling, walking, and starting solids, and was really a wonderful addition to our family. We would have kept her on but decided it was time to socialize our baby with daycare. Even after, we still call Thando for babysitting and caretaking whenever we can!
