Experience: 23 yrs
I have been a professional nanny for 26 wonderful years. I also have been an Assistant Teacher and a nanny for special needs children. I believe that all children are special and true gifts. I have a lot of fun and creative ideas for art projects, games and playtime. I have alot of experience helping with potty training. I am CPR/AED licensed. I look forward to hearing from you.
We had a wonderful experience with Heather as our nanny and would recommend her to any family. Heather cared for our son from the time he was 6 months old until 18 months old. She helped with his transition from bottles to solid foods and consistently kept him engaged with fun, age-appropriate activities. She regularly took him to music classes, on walks, and to the park, and was always attentive and nurturing. In addition to excellent childcare, Heather also helped with weekly laundry and light housekeeping, which made a big difference in our day-to-day routine. She is reliable, kind, and very communicative. We are grateful for the care she provided and would recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy and caring nanny.
