Hi families! With nearly 20 years of experience in childcare, I'm someone who genuinely loves being around children-their curiosity, their energy, and the little moments that make each day. I'm patient, calm, and attentive, and I tend to connect easily with kids of all ages, especially infants and young children. Outside of childcare, I enjoy staying active, getting outside, and creating. I'm the kind of person who notices the little things, and loves to make things by hand I also truly value building strong relationships with the families I work with. I respect that every household is different, and I aim to support your routines, parenting style, and goals for your child as closely as possible. At the end of the day, I really enjoy what I do-being a steady, caring presence, creating and helping children feel safe, happy, and loved.
Carolanne was our full-time nanny for nearly two years, and we are grateful for every day we had with her. During the interview process, her previous family told me, “She’s basically Mary Poppins—except she doesn’t sing.” They were wrong. She definitely sings! Whenever our child was in Carolanne’s care, we didn’t have a worry in the world. We knew she showed up every day with a full heart, genuine joy, and unwavering care. She has a child-centered approach that balances kindness, patience, and warmth with clear, consistent boundaries. Our child felt deeply loved, safe, and understood, and we always felt complete confidence knowing they were with her. Carolanne became an important part of our family, and we can’t recommend her highly enough. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her.
