About Vanessa
Experience: 10 yrs
Hi there! My name is Vanessa and I am looking for a family that I can poor my heart into and care for their kiddos! I have been working with children for 12 years and have an Associates in Early Childhood Education. I have worked with all ages ranging from 6 weeks to 12 years but especially love infants and 3-year-olds! I currently am curriculum coordinator at my school that I work at, but looking for some more flexible hours as my family grows. I'm known as the babysitter that loves art and science experiments, and LOVE to go on adventures! Even simple adventures like new parks or pet stores! I like to think I have a fun, spunky personality that kids gravitate towards which makes my days working with kids easy! if you love getting pictures and updates throughout the day, I'm your girl!

We met Vanessa 9 years ago when our daughter was an infant. There are not enough positive words to describe this wonderful young woman. She started watching our daughter during her infancy and then became our "go-to" person for childcare. When our kiddos were both under 2 years old, she was one of the only people we would trust watching our two kids. She had experience and expertise in understanding complex schedules of feedings, naps, and balancing challenges that can come up when you are solo with 2 little ones. Not to mention keeping them perfectly content and loved the entire time. She also stepped up for us when the pandemic hit and we needed a nanny for then 4 and 3 year old. She is one of most dependable persons that we know and has time and time again been there for us. 9 years later our family considers her a friend and she is a safe person my kids to rely on and we couldn't be more thankful!!!
