9 years of experience
This is the background check we require for all caregivers.
Experience: 9 yrs
I have nearly 8 years' experience caring for children of all, from newborns, infants and upwards. I work well with all personality types and I understand requirements of special needs children such as those with learning disabilities, mental challenges and physical impairment. I am able to engage and motivate children with different activities that encourage early learning. As a nanny, my responsibilities from previous employer included preparing and feeding meals to the children. In Addition, assisted children bathing and dressing, I oversaw play time, planned trip to the park and with permission I allowed interaction with other children. I occasionally, accompanied the kids to the library. Last but not the least, I partake in light house chores. A principled, honest, loyal, caring, dependable and professional with high integrity, I take my responsibilities very seriously. Sincerely, Akua.

Akua looked after our three children for two years. She was reliable and steadfast, working five days a week, never late or missing a scheduled day. Her duties included: supervising multiple children (ages ranging from 4 to 12) and caring for their needs; planning, preparing and serving meals; picking up the children from school, overseeing and assisting with homework; performing light housekeeping duties; helping out with laundry and the groceries; and caring for various family pets. Akua possesses all the qualities that make a nanny successful. We highly recommend her!
