Experience: 10 yrs
Hi there! My name is Vanessa & I have been working with children for 12 years and have an Associates in Early Childhood Education. I have worked with all ages ranging from 6 weeks to 12 years but especially love infants and 3-year-olds! I currently am curriculum coordinator at my school that I work at, but looking for some more flexible hours as my family grows. I'm known as the babysitter that loves art and science experiments, being outdoors and adventures! I like to think I have a fun personality , that kids gravitate towards which makes my days working with kids easy! if you love getting pictures and updates throughout the day, I'm your girl! My hope is to open my home to a friend or 2, to learn and explore with my 2yr old and newborn. We have 2 playrooms (one more of a classroom vibe) a large backyard, and lots of crafts and things to do! We live in a new house in a new build neighborhood so as it gets built up, there is some nice areas to walk to get energy out too!

I 100% recommend Vanessa for any kind of babysitting/nanny job. I have known her for about 10 years now and she continues to surprise me with her amazing care of children and the activities she plans when they are together. When she is with my children she always interacts with them sweetly and makes sure they are safe and aways entertained. Any family would be lucky to have her!
