About Vanessa
Experience: 10 yrs
Hi there! My name is Vanessa & 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, being outdoors and adventures! I like to think I have a fun, 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! My hope is to open my home to a friend or to learn and explore with my yr old and newborn. We have 2 playrooms (one more of a classroom vibe) a large backyard, and lots of crafts and things to do! We live in a new house in a new build neighborhood so as it gets built up, there is some nice areas to walk to get energy out too!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! We are local to Marengo and were looking for someone to help out with our 4 yr old twin girls. Vanessa was so great with my twins. I was hesitant about in home care but she made me and my girls so comfortable. Her home is beautiful, clean, safe and the playrooms are set up so well for the kids. We got updates throughout the day and upon arrival to pick them up, I was told by my littles to come back later. It was such a comfort knowing we have found someone local.
