About Vera

Experience: 10 yrs

Nurturing children and watching them blossom is my passion! For six years, I have provided engaging childcare for children aged newborn to 11. I have taught Art and Gardening to children for 7 years. I have a college degree, plus specialized training in Early Childhood Education (ECE) and Early Child Development. I am also certified in First Aid Training and CPR Training. My approach is patient, calm, and imaginative. I enjoy play-based education and follow the child's lead when playing games, whether it's board games, puzzles, dancing, outdoor exploration, or educational activities. I'm comfortable caring for up to two children and happy to help with cooking, light housekeeping, carpooling, and swimming supervision. I always follow the parents' lead when it comes to household rules and communication preferences. I provide regular updates via text, phone, or in person. Knowing I can make a positive impact on your child's life, and support your family, truly warms my heart.

Vera took care of our little boy for a year and she was truly wonderful. Honest, reliable and so creative with kids, she always found fun ways to keep him happy and engaged. We still miss her so much since she moved away! Highly recommend Vera to everyone who is looking for a caring and professional care for their kiddos.
