Hello Families! I have extensive child care experience ranging from full time and part time care from 2010- current. The children's ages range from newborn to 8 years old. I foster a learning environment based in child-led, imaginative, peer learning play with lots of reading and outside time. I genuinely have a blast this the children in my care! I bring fun, age appropriate educational based activities such as musical instruments, art supplies, play-doh, and awesome books to share. For babies I bring board books and texture toys. I value children learning from each other and working together. I work with the parents to support the family unit. I am up to date on my covid, booster, flu, MMR, and dtap vaccines. I take additional covid precautions. I look forward to connecting!

We had the pleasure of having Esther as our nanny for our children, aged 6 months, 2 years, and 3 years, for the past 2 years, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! From the outset, Esther proved herself to be incredibly reliable—never missing a day and always arriving on time, prepared to engage with our children in meaningful ways. Esther maintains an open line of communication throughout her time with us, keeping us updated on our children's progress and daily activities through regular conversations. It's clear from these interactions how much she truly cares about our children's well-being and development. Esther relates exceptionally well to the children, fostering a nurturing environment that allows them to thrive. They are always in high spirits but remain calm and emotionally stable at the end of the day, a true testament to her positive influence. She did a remarkable job of encouraging our children toward milestones they were ready for, pushing them gently without overexerting them. This thoughtful approach has significantly contributed to their growth and confidence. Her patience seems boundless, ensuring each child feels heard and understood. She has an extraordinary talent for turning everyday moments into fun learning opportunities that our kids absolutely love. Her ability to blend fun with educational activities showcases her creativity and dedication to our children's development. Additionally, Esther is deeply caring and consistently encourages healthy choices, from nutritious snacks to active playtimes, promoting a healthy lifestyle for our kids. In summary, Esther has been more than a nanny to us; she has been an invaluable member of our family. Her commitment to our children's overall development, her effective communication, and her genuinely fun and caring nature make her a perfect fit for any family. We are incredibly grateful for her time with us and cannot recommend her highly enough!
