I'd describe my personality as clean, calm, creative and friendly. In my spare time, I like to paint, sew and read. I have a BA in cultural anthropology. I have worked with kids since I was 14. I do mainly work with babies, infants and toddlers. I also have many references if needed. Working with kids is something I love to do. I'm great with keeping a strict schedule if needed or necessary. Meaning in bed on time, bath given on time and more.. Milestones are always worked on and I try to keep a nurturing and caring atmosphere.
We have been incredibly lucky to have Jay as part of our family for the past two years. She started with us when our daughter was just nine months old (she’s now almost three), and when our daughter began school, Jay seamlessly transitioned to caring for our second child from six months old to now one year old. From day one, she fit right into our family—she is warm, outgoing, kind, and someone we trust completely. Both of our children absolutely light up when they see her (honestly, I’m pretty sure they like her more than us some days!). Jay is incredibly responsible and proactive, and she consistently goes above and beyond. She helps tremendously around the house with things like dishes and laundry, and there is nothing better than finishing a busy workday and seeing a clean, organized home—something that definitely doesn’t happen when we’re in charge! She also does a wonderful job supporting our children’s development, helping them work on milestones and reinforcing what we focus on as parents, all while keeping them engaged, happy, and cared for. She’s also great with our dog, which is an added bonus, and truly feels like part of our family. We honestly don’t know what we would do without her (and regularly joke about how we’re going to convince her to stay forever). Any family would be incredibly fortunate to have Jay as their nanny—we cannot recommend her highly enough.
