About Vanessa

Experience: 9 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

Hi Parents, My Name is Vanessa. I have been working as a full-time nanny for over 15 years. I've been on my current job for almost 5 years, taking care of an almost 5-year-old boy. I am looking for a new full-time position now that I am relocating to CT. I love what I do and very much enjoy all aspects of child-care, especially the uniqueness of each age group. I am a hard worker who takes my professional responsibilities seriously and puts safety first. I am calm, caring, warm and reliable. I believe that energy, patience, communication and love are essential ingredients in the caretaker-child relationship. I try to involve the children I work with in dramatic play, age-appropriate language, math skills, reading, art, music, athletics, and any other activities the parents deem fit and appropriate. I have experience with Early Intervention protocols and developmental issues, as I completed three years of a Child Psychology Major. I am fluent in English and Spanish.

Vanessa has been with our family for 4 and a half years, since my son was 6 months old. She truly became part of our family, and to say our son ADORES her is an understatement. She has potty-trained him, helped with meals, gotten him off to first days of school, and been there for many of the 'big' moments. She is amazing with kids, and always find that balance of being fun but disciplining as needed. I completely trust Vanessa when she is with my son and know he is always in the best of hands with her. Happy to speak if interested - I could go on for days how wonderful she is. Feel free to reach out.
