I'd describe my personality as kind, helpful and responsible. I like working with kids because I enjoy doing caregiving. It's meaningful and brings a lot of joy and help to others. It's something I am good at. I'm looking for a job where I can bond with not only the child but the family as well. I started working with kids when I left the work force to stay home with my children (they are 18 & 20 now) and do part time child care. In my spare time, I like to be with my family, care for my home and cook. I also enjoy outdoors whenever possible. One thing you should know about me is I am very dedicated to my family, home and work. My skills include early education, arts/crafts, safety & keeping children active.
Valerie is the best nanny we could have ever asked for and more! From day one, she and our then-11-month-old son connected immediately and quickly became the best of friends. She has an incredible intuition for what he needs throughout the day, and she always finds new activities to keep him engaged while helping him develop both mentally and physically. Watching his growth and development under Valerie’s care has been truly amazing. Valerie was also very respectful of our parenting preferences, including following our son's strict schedule and honoring our no-screen-time rule. Without a doubt, Valerie is the most punctual and reliable nanny we've ever had. She has never called off, and she is always early to start the day. On the few occasions we've needed her to arrive earlier than usual, she has happily made herself available without hesitation. She also takes the initiative to help with light housekeeping without ever being asked, which is such a thoughtful bonus after a long day. We absolutely love having Valerie care for our son, and she has truly become a part of our family. We can't recommend her highly enough!
