About Grace
Experience: 7 yrs
I have 7 years of experience. I can help with Travel and Cooking/Meal Preparation. I have been watching kids since I was 14 years old I try and make sure that they have a fun time during the duration of my stay and finish any other tasks that they have to do. I'm a life guard and swim instructor so water is not a problem for me. I do go to school as well I am trying to be a nurse so that is a big priority for me as well. I have been nannying for like 2 years now and have worked with many ages ranging from 2 months - 14-year-olds. I love watching kids grow and seeing how their personalities mold into what makes them who they are. I try and make sure that the kids aren't on screen time all the time (if allowed) and try to keep them engaged in games that are appropriate for their interests and ages.

Grace was our after school nanny for our six year old for the better part of the school year. She was very reliable and always showed up on time. She was great about setting boundaries with him and keeping him off screens if that was necessary and would do activities with him. We missed her when her class schedule meant she couldn't watch him anymore. We would definitely recommend Grace.
