About Wanda

Experience: 10 yrs

After running a licensed in-home childcare for 14 years, I became a nanny 10 years ago. I have been fortunate to care for children with special needs, including Down Syndrome. I believe in helping every child reach their full potential. I TRULY enjoy caring for children and every day is a total joy. I am engaged in play with the children, not merely watching them play. My childcare includes a preschool curriculum, crafts, numerous field trips, reading and visiting libraries, much outdoor playtime, and lots of TLC. . The best compliment is the children are polite and respectful, while smiling and having fun. The children all learn to appreciate nature on our frequent trips to parks and zoos. I'm proud to have instilled a love of learning in the children I've cared for by learning in fun and hands-on ways. I have been fortunate to be treated like part of the family.

Wanda has been an extraordinary presence in our family’s life, and we are so grateful for the love, energy, and wisdom she brought into our home. She joined us during a particularly challenging time—helping care for our newborn with Down syndrome while also homeschooling our kindergartner during the height of COVID. Her patience, creativity, and deep sense of compassion were exactly what we needed. Not only is she incredibly active and adventurous—often taking the kids on nature walks, organizing crafts, or finding fun and educational activities—but she also places great importance on teaching values. She introduced our kids to the idea of community service in the most thoughtful ways, like baking cookies to deliver to our local fire department or making cards for neighbors. These moments became some of our most cherished family memories. Wanda has a natural ability to meet children where they are, support their unique needs, and help them grow with confidence and kindness. Her impact on our children—and on us as parents—has been truly lasting. We recommend her with our whole hearts.
