I started at about 9 years old helping my mom with my five younger siblings (cloth diapers & big safety pins!) and progressed to babysitting for neighborhood families at about 12 years old. I did a LOT of babysitting in my youth and young adulthood and loved every moment of it. I was blessed to be a stay-at-home mom and raise my own two boys, who are now in their early 30s, with my husband of 37 years and counting! Fast forward to now and I've helped a few of my younger friends with their babies and young children so that they could return to work or have a night out with their spouse or friends. Being with babies makes me feel serene--as silly as that may sound. I really want to help parents do what they need to do and maybe even have time for themselves! I will respect and adhere to each parent's requests and wishes relating to their children and their homes. I want you to know that you can trust me with what is most precious to you. And I love most animals too!!

It is my great pleasure to recommend Theo H as a nanny. Theo has been caring for our nearly 2-year-old son since he was only a few weeks old in September of 2021. She worked for us as a full-time nanny during our son’s first year at home and has stayed on with us as a regular sitter 1-2 times per week since he went to school in July of 2022. In addition to caring for our son, Theo also sits for our 7-year-old daughter every other week. Theo is reliable, affectionate, thoughtful, and responsive. She is well versed in child development, due to both her work experience and having raised children of her own. She relates to our little one in such a delightful way, turning practically everything into a fun game. Our daughter absolutely adores her and she has no problem keeping after both of them at the same time, creating activities that appeal to both age groups while keeping them safe and well looked after. Theo knows how to structure time well but is also flexible. She has an excellent understanding of the needs/abilities of our children and is warm and nurturing. We feel so fortunate to have had Theo as our son’s nanny and we are ever grateful for her continued company. Both our kids genuinely look forward to seeing her and are happy to spend time with her, making it easy for us to step away for work and the occasional date night. We are convinced that our son owes much of his positive development to her presence. Theo’s approach to caring for both kids complements our parenting well, as she is incredibly respectful of our personal philosophies while maintaining confidence and the ability to make day-to-day decisions independently. Theo is a gifted care giver and person. We treasure her deeply and value her contributions to our family. I’m confident that she would be a great choice for you as well.
