This is the background check we require for all caregivers.
Experience: 10 yrs
I am Lena, 14 years an infant/toddler experienced nanny, having excellent references. I am detail-oriented and organized, responsible, active, a positive person, and very flexible in work schedule. I have CPR and First Aid certifications. I understand the importance and responsibility of growing a new personality, so I build a trusting relationship with a child and take into account the unique developmental path of the child. I love working with kids and they love me on back. I am always on time at work, never smoke, direct communication is key, and always follow mom's advice and a child's schedule. I write a journal of the child's daily routines and progress. Prefer outings and physical exercises instead of TV. I provide: first priority is safety, pick up/drop off, meal preparation, feeding, bathing, reading, crafts, potty training, napping, teaching manners, playing educational games, driving the children, laundry, grocery, and errands

Elena helped us with taking care of our 1-week old baby. She was very knowledgeable, punctual, and we learned a lot from her. She pointed out a couple of things we wouldn't have known if we didn't have her: 1) Our baby's neck was choosing one side only, and she recommended balancing sides, 2) Our infant had a rash due to diarrhea, and she sent us best brand suggestions for rash powder and rash cream, 3) The new formula suggested by our hospital's nurse caused diarrhea, and Elena suggested the best baby formula brand for us, which our baby is now very happy with. There is probably more. We highly recommend Elena for child care.
