About Vanessa
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Hi! I'm an experienced nanny who has just returned stateside after going to graduate school & working as a full-time nanny in New Zealand for the last 4 years. I've been caring for awesome little kids for over a decade, from newborns to teenagers, & I've loved every one of them. Once I finished my degrees, I realized I love scientific research, but I love children & helping them grow, more! I'm patient and love teaching/learning things with kids. I believe in gentle parenting, &have practised Montessori+RIE learning with previous families. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, all creative hobbies, spending time outside hiking, kayaking, & reading in the sun. I don't want overwhelm you with information (& and there's a character limit), but I'm happy to share more, I'm just a message away!

Vanessa took care of my infant (7 mos at the start) and occasionally a 4 year old as well. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter. She is extremely reliable, trustworthy and both of my children really bonded with her. I highly recommend her to any family looking for a sitter.
