I have been working with children for 25 plus years, in schools, facilities and privately. My last 12 years have been specialized in newborn to preschool. This age group is such a magical age, and I love exploring it with them! I am adapt in developmental stages/leaps. I love teaching children about the outdoors, music /percussion, and body movement. I am looking for a great match, full-time family, flexible. Patient, caring, educated, reliable and fun. Infant CPR and first aid trained, ECE, toilet training, sleep training and baby led weaning. Multiple amazing references! I care for, and am protective of your child like you would want someone to be.

We feel incredibly fortunate to have Ryuun as our full-time nanny for the past year. She is nothing short of amazing, and we are delighted to share our experience with her. From the very beginning, Ryuun made it easy for us to welcome her into our home. We work from home part-time, and having someone around who is not only great with our son but also easy to be around is a true blessing. She is respectful of our space, never invasive, and always considerate of our needs. One of the things we appreciate most about Ryuun is her perfect balance of being involved without overstepping boundaries. She offers valuable advice when needed, demonstrating her wealth of experience in childcare, yet she always respects our parenting choices. Her ability to strike this balance is truly commendable. Reliability is another standout quality of Ryuun. In an entire year, she has never been late. Her dedication to her job is unwavering, and we can always count on her to be there when we need her most. Most importantly, Ryuun's genuine love for our son is evident in everything she does. She engages him in creative and educational activities, ensuring that he not only enjoys his time with her but also continues to learn and grow. The bond between Ryuun and our son is heartwarming, and it's clear that he adores her as much as she adores him. Additionally, the fact that Ryuun has children of her own and is in her 40s adds to her wealth of experience and understanding of children's needs. It also makes her easy to talk to and relate with on a personal level, which we find to be a tremendous asset. In summary, Ryuun has been an absolute godsend for our family. We couldn't have asked for a better nanny. Her combination of professionalism, reliability, and genuine care for our son makes her the perfect fit for any family. We wholeheartedly recommend Ryuun to anyone seeking a top-notch nanny who becomes a cherished part of the family. We consider ourselves lucky to have her, and we are sure you will too!
