About Courtney
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
My philosophy is that I'm helping you raise your children, not just providing care. I started babysitting over 25 years ago and have been happily involved in childcare- in various capacities- ever since. I have spent 12+ years nannying, both before and after having my boys. They are 2. 5 and 4 and will sometimes accompany me, depending on the schedule. My nanny experience has made me a much better mom, though I continue to search out and learn new things daily. I have worked with, am comfortable with, and enjoy kids of all ages, but I especially love the little ones. I am a bubbly, outgoing, energetic, and happy person with a wealth of patience, encouragement, and love for children. I prefer hands-on interaction and activities- especially outdoors! I'm very flexible and willing to work with you, so don't hesitate to reach out! *Prior to the pandemic, I was an EMS/CPR instructor and chose not to return, being a high-risk individual. COVID and flu vaccination preferred.

Courtney is truly our favorite and now her and her family will be our life long friends! As first time parents we quickly had to find a nanny when daycare fell through before we went back to work. Courtney and I always say it was meant to be. She ended up being our full time nanny for months before a move. As a mother of two herself, she gave us so much comfort everyday constantly checking in with us and letting us know how he was doing. She’d work on different milestones with him, put him on a routine, took care of him while he was sick and would even take him to different activities. She also just gave us so many tips and tricks for our little one, since she’s been through it with her kids and has a medical background. She has so much fun with the kids and I would recommend her to anyone! My best friend even started using her as well. 10/10
