I'm a friendly reliable person. I love kids and have babysat since I was a teenager, and have been a nanny for almost five years. I can help with meal prep, homework, light housework(and helping them do their chores), taking them to activities, at home entertainment/fun. I have my CPR and Sids certifications. I have experience with cloth diapers and elimination communication. (Looking for a full time position starting in August 2025)

It is with a mix of gratitude and sadness that I write this recommendation for Tonja, who has been a part of our family for the past three years. Our close friends first hired Tonja to care for their daughter, who is two months older than our girls, three days a week. After seeing how wonderful Tonja was with their daughter, our friend approached her to see if she would be open to adding our twin girls to the mix, with the addition of two days dedicated solely to them. Much to my surprise, Tonja agreed to give it a shot — and we are so thankful that she did. Tonja’s impact on our family cannot be overstated. She has been instrumental in helping our daughters not only meet, but exceed every milestone. Whether it was managing the challenges of naps, supporting them through their big feelings, or guiding them as they learned new skills, Tonja’s patience and expertise were invaluable. Her caring nature and consistency in providing a loving, structured environment have shaped our daughters into the wonderful little people they are becoming. The bond Tonja has built with our girls is so special — they adore her, and it is clear that she loves them like they are her own. It takes a truly exceptional person to care for and support three young children through all the highs and lows of early childhood, and Tonja has done so with grace, warmth, and unwavering dedication. I will forever be grateful for the way she has cared for our daughters, and the peace of mind she has given us as parents. As our girls prepare to start preschool in the fall, this bittersweet goodbye is approaching, and it is hard to imagine our days without Tonja’s presence. I can honestly say that she has been an irreplaceable part of our family. If you are seeking someone who is dependable, hardworking, caring, and kind, look no further. Tonja is a true gem, and I wholeheartedly recommend her without hesitation.
