Hello! I'm a former special education teacher and experienced nanny with a deep passion for working with children of all ages and abilities. My background includes working with infants, toddlers, elementary, middle school students, and neurodivergent children. I thrive on creating engaging, enjoyable experiences for "my kids" through activities like park outings, play dates, library visits, and arts and crafts. With 7 years of nanny experience, I understand the nuances of childcare and tailor my approach to fit each family's unique needs. My rates vary based on the number of children, driving requirements, and additional tasks. I'm dedicated to providing a supportive and stimulating environment for your child's growth and happiness.

It is with the utmost confidence and enthusiasm that I recommend Vanessa as a nanny. She has been a part of my son’s life since the day he was born, and over the years, she has proven to be nothing short of extraordinary. Her warmth, dedication, and expertise in childcare make her an irreplaceable presence in our family. Vanessa is the definition of a nurturing caregiver. She has a natural ability to connect with children, creating a loving, safe, and enriching environment where they thrive. My son absolutely adores her, and the trust and bond they share are truly special. She approaches every moment with patience, kindness, and an unwavering commitment to his happiness and well-being. Her attention to detail is unparalleled—whether it’s maintaining routines, fostering developmental milestones, or simply making each day filled with fun and learning, Vanessa ensures that every need is met with precision and care. What truly sets Vanessa apart is her deep understanding of early childhood development. Her intuition and knowledge have been life-changing for our family. When I needed guidance on early intervention for my son’s speech development, she stepped in like a true professional, helping me navigate evaluations, specialists, and therapy services. She not only provided invaluable insights but also offered unwavering support, making the entire process feel less overwhelming. Her dedication to a child’s growth extends far beyond basic care—she is an advocate, an educator, and a mentor. Vanessa is more than just a babysitter; she is a second mother to my son, a trusted confidante, and a pillar of support in our lives. She is always punctual, reliable, and goes above and beyond to ensure that every child in her care is not only safe but flourishing. Any family would be beyond fortunate to have Vanessa as their nanny. I wholeheartedly trust her, and I wouldn’t dream of leaving my child in anyone else’s hands.
