About Vanessa

Experience: 6 yrs

Bringing joy and nurturing care to children is my passion. For six years, I have dedicated myself to fostering the growth and development of kids aged 1-12+. My approach is patient, calm, creative, and friendly. I am very comfortable enforcing household rules, and I communicate with parents using their preferred method, including verbal updates and texts. I enjoy playing outdoor games, board games, and educational games. I hold First Aid Training and CPR Training and have completed Early Child Development Coursework. I am happy to assist with cooking, carpooling, light housekeeping, travel, crafts, and swimming supervision. Caring for up to two children at a time allows me to provide focused attention. I hope to bring my experience and enthusiasm to your family!

She cared for my 6-year-old son and was amazing in every way. She’s attentive, kind, and incredibly thoughtful. She naturally connected with him, and he quickly grew to adore her—which says everything. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was with someone so genuine and dependable. I would absolutely recommend her to any family.
