About Nora

Experience: 6 yrs

Hi! My name is Nora. Children and education are my passions and I loved my career as a teacher. I worked in early childhood and elementary classrooms for 34 years and have a masters degree in curriculum and instruction. I believe caring for infants and children requires a nurturing heart, undivided attention, and patience. They need and deserve a variety of activities that are engaging, child centered, and developmentally appropriate. After retirement I began a part time job caring for an infant and stayed for over three years until she entered preschool. It was a joyful experience and she and her parents became like family. And now to begin my next chapter!

Nora was an absolute gem and was my daughter’s nanny for three years. She became such an important part of our family, and I always knew my daughter was in loving, capable hands. Nora is dependable, patient, kind, and truly cares about the children she looks after. She kept my daughter engaged with fun, age-appropriate activities, encouraged her learning and development, and always made sure she felt safe, happy, and loved. She was also wonderful with communication and consistently went above and beyond to help our family. Anyone would be incredibly fortunate to have Nora care for their children. I recommend her wholeheartedly and without hesitation.
