About Vanessa

Hello, My name is Vanessa and I'm an energetic and creative 25-year-old! I am a hairstylist/Braider , but fell into childcare seven years ago after my niece and love it so much! My favorite age group are toddlers, but I have experience with all ages. I'm looking for a full time position, with a minimum of a one-year commitment, and my rates start at $25/hour for one child. I have worked for 3 families, one for 3 years, and the others for about 2 years each. I'm CPR and first aid certified, have my own car, and have taken online courses in child development. My focus is on giving your child a safe, routine-focused, and creative space to learn and grow into a wonderful person. I love doing seasonal crafts, baking, pretend play, encouraging independent time, and special weekly outings when appropriate. I'm firm but kind, and will work with you on any challenges your child may come to. In my personal time I love to cook dishes, do hair and spend time with my daughter.
