I have 15 years of experience taking care of newborns to toddlers. I've worked for 5 families over my 15 year career. I enjoy interacting and playing games with the children to help their development. I enjoy taking the children to park and have them socialize with other children. I am willing to prepare and cook meals for the children. I can help with travel and errands when needed.

Helen is an outstanding nanny. Our daughter recently started preschool and as a result, we can no longer keep Helen on full time but believe that any family would be lucky to have her as a caregiver for their children. Helen began nannying for our daughter full time in May 2021, at which point she also became a member of our family. As first-time parents, we were nervous about who we would have as our daughters nanny who would essentially be the primary care giver. Helen immediately calmed our fears and quickly earned our trust. Helen not only provides exceptional care for our daughter (she treats her like her own), but she also goes above and beyond to make sure we as parents come home to a calm and tidy environment after a busy day. Helen has years of experience working with various families and children of all ages. She helped us get our daughter on a sleep schedule and to this day she remains a fantastic sleeper. Helen has always encouraged (without forcing the issue) the various transitions an infant/toddler goes through. She is super hands on and interactive with our daughter - whether it’s sitting together and chatting during mealtimes, reading tons of books, taking her on nature walks or to the park (where they’ve built an amazing circle of friends) - and her overall approach has contributed greatly to our daughter’s rapid development. Our daughter loves Helen. Our family loves Helen. You and your children will love Helen and you should absolutely hire her as your nanny!
