About Jamie
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I am reliable, patient, and heart-centered. I enjoy working with kids because they're joyful, creative, and loving. They promise to keep the day interesting and playful with just enough challenge. I'm looking for loving families that enjoy the outdoors, walks, making crafts, playing games, reading, and value kindness. In my spare time, I spend as much time with my teens as they'll give me. I walk my dog a lot. I love to read. I will respect rules and expectations, arrive on time, stay engaged, & keep your kids safe! I'm warm, cheerful, flexible, and resourceful. I can be firm and set boundaries but I'm rooted in gentle, conscious caregiving. I am tech-free, prioritize outdoor time, and enjoy trips to a variety of parks. I am a former homeschool Mom and ESL teacher who can support littles in all their developmental needs, including reading, math, and science. I create STEAM and sensory-centered activities. I speak conversational Spanish and American Sign Language.

Jamie has been our full time nanny for the last 18 months and I am pleased to recommend her. She has been a gift to our family. Our twin boys have grown so much since she started with us. Developmentally and emotionally - they are well supported with her care and concern. She is WONDERFUL. What I love most about Jamie is how consistent she is - she brings contagious positive energy into our home, communicates effectively with us, is present with our boys, and truly loves childcare and early education. As a first time parent, she has helped me navigate new developments like sharing, counting, imaginative play, how to play with new friends at the park, and so much more. Most importantly she is present with our boys and always puts them first when they are in her care. One fun thing - she loves going to the library and regularly picks out new books for them to enjoy which keeps things fun and interesting for them! This was something she started and continued to do unprompted - which to me reiterates her commitment to early childhood development and love for her job. Not to mention - she is reliable and always shows up on time. I am so happy we hired Jamie as she has made a significant positive impact on me and our family.
