I've always been passionate about playing a role in children's development and growth. I believe in fostering a nurturing environment where children can flourish. With eight years of experience, I am more than prepared to provide a caring and safe space for your child. I have my associates in early childhood development and am a certified teacher. I've also received training in First Aid and CPR. In addition to English, I can also communicate in sign language (ASL) and Spanish. My approach to childcare is simple: patience, creativity, and open communication. I believe in understanding each child's unique needs and interests to create a personalized environment that encourages their growth. I am more than happy to assist with light housekeeping if needed. I am a certified teacher with Early Childhood Education (ECE) and Child Development Associate (CDA) credentials, and I've completed coursework in early child development. I'm also NAFCC certified.
We feel incredibly fortunate to have Nancy as part of our family. She has cared for our two boys, ages 1 and 4, and consistently went above and beyond in every aspect of her role. From managing school pick-ups to preparing dinner and guiding the evening bedtime routine, she handled each responsibility with ease, warmth, and professionalism. She also provided full-day care for our 1-year-old, ensuring he was not only well cared for but engaged, happy, and thriving. What truly sets her apart is her genuine interest in our children’s lives. She took the time to understand their personalities, interests, and developmental needs, and regularly came prepared with creative, thoughtful activities that kept them learning and having fun. Our boys absolutely adore her, and it’s easy to see why. She is highly responsive, communicative, and incredibly reliable—we always felt confident and at ease knowing our children were in such capable hands. We wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a caring, proactive, and dependable nanny.
