This is the background check we require for all caregivers.
Experience: 10 yrs
15+ years of nanny and teaching experience. I've worked with children ranging from newborn to 16 yrs; including 3 consecutive families with newborn twins. I've taught preschool music, Kindergarten, and First Grade. I've worked with kids with Sensory Processing issues, ADHD, anger management issues, and other special needs. Simply put: Working with children is my passion. My greatest personal fulfillment is realized when I help a child succeed. Encouraging curiosity, active exploration, and creative thinking are among the skills I love to facilitate within each developmental stage. As a former teacher I strive to immerse them in books & language, math & science, music & laughter, and lots of physical activity. The child's interests and developmental progress sets the pace, but it is my job to keep them challenged and to ensure that learning is FUN. I strive to provide the consistency and structure needed to build emotional strength.

Paige is an excellent nanny and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for childcare. Paige has been with our family for over 5 years, caring for our 3 daughters, ranging in age from 1 to 6 (she started when our oldest was 18 months old). Over that time, she has become a valued member of our family. She always has age-appropriate learning activities for at home and takes the girls on outings to various activities. She has taught all of our children baby sign language and was instrumental in potty training our two older children. Her experience is invaluable, and she has a great deal of insight and suggestions for any childhood issue. Paige is always willing to help however we need it--she has babysat for us on nights and weekends, helped us set up for kids parties, helped coordinate school pickups when needed, runs errands when needed, and so much more. She is an excellent communicator and always flexible. She is so wonderful with our kids--she always knows how to answer even their most off-the-wall questions, how to best communicate with them when it comes to discipline, and--most important--she is a lot of fun! Paige is only leaving our family because our oldest is entering full-time school and mom is transitioning to being at home full-time. We cannot recommend Paige more--she is one of the only people that we completely trust our children with.
