About Joy
Experience: 3 yrs
I'm a long term nanny ready to provide responsible, supportive and reliable care for another family. I have worked in childcare my entire adult life and been a nanny for 20 yrs. I have taken compassionate care for infants for many families from Seattle to Sammamish. Providing a structured day according to the guidelines set by the parents, the children in my care have experiences with music, reading, art and play while learning. I have 2 years of college, CPR/First Aid and other classes in childcare. I offer my reference letters from the families I worked for to show my full time commitment to helping parents. I love children and do have my own children who are now college age employees who all have been managers in their jobs. I taught art classes for years. Worked and other childcare facilities. I have done years of volunteering while raising my own children. I have been working in senior caregiving lately and have a current reference letter to demonstrate my skills.
