Hi beautiful families! 
I'm a South African nanny/babysitter, permanently residing in New York. 
I totally adore kids so it's not really a job to me. My experiences include au pair, live-in nanny, babysitter & special needs. Cared for Newborn boy/girl twins & their 2-year-old sister. Newborn & her 3 y/o brother. 18-24-month-old boy/girl twins. 9-month-old twins, 6 & 7 y/o twins. 
I love engaging with kids of all ages, I find it an extremely rewarding experience.
I trust you'll kindly consider me :)
Please feel free to contact me for any further inquiries.
Thanks for reading!

Jamie fit right into our family life. Her temperament is wonderful - she's kind, sweet, and she had such a calming influence on our son as she cared for him from age 7 months-10 months. We would have kept her on but she was pregnant with a baby of her own. Jamie is very collaborative with childcare - this is our first child, and since she has a toddler of her own, she offered great suggestions and advice while we worked together to problem-solve our baby's napping issues. She cooked food the baby loved, including making snacks for him that we could freeze and reheat. Our son loved her and got so excited when she walked in the door each day.

Jamie has been a nanny for my two year old son for the last couple of months. She's dependable, reliable, friendly, and most importantly, she is great with my son. He took to Jamie really well from the start, and he feels very comfortable with her. Jamie has been a huge help with potty training and other issues that have come up. She encourages him to use his "big boy voice" and clean up after himself. Jamie has also been really flexible every time we had schedule changes. I highly recommend Jamie!

We have entrusted Jamie with our children.  Jamie is totally reliable, a great communicator, and is terrific with our kids.  We are totally comfortable with her in our home - she's warm and funny, and great company.  We would not hesitate to recommend Jamie to anyone.  Our kids love her and so do we.

Jamie was a great help for my family. She went from an occasional babysitter to a live-in nanny. She's so willing. She lived in with us taking care of my then newborn and 3 year old.  She was responsible for all care for my kids. She has a way with kids, my children loved her. She's now a family friend. So loyal, honest, kind, loving, conscientious, reliable, transparent trustworthy very punctual and lovable. She also follows instructions really well. And is a great communicator! Never fear when Jamie is taking care of your kids! She made life so much easier with 2 little ones. Of course we would hire her back any chance we got :)

We had Jaime booked for an interview today at 6:30p after speaking most of yesterday. She text me today to let me know she was hired by another family and wouldn't be interviewing with me. I thought she was genuinely interested in the position oh well at least she told me 4 hours in advance so I guess I can't be that upset.

Jamie is absolutely amazing!  She has cared for our 8 year old twins since last summer.  Jamie is a self-starter, hard working, kind, patient and trustworthy person.  My children love her and are going to miss her dearly.  Jamie has a nurturing spirit and is always asking if anything else needs to be done in the house.  She cooks for the children and helps with homework each evening.  As a mother I want to know and feel that my children are being well cared for and I can say without hesitation that she has accomplished that.

I would hire Jamie again in a heartbeat as would every single reference I checked on her. She is loving, structured, responsible and an absolute pleasure to spend time with. My children adore her and we are still very much a part of each others lives. I feel so deeply fortunate to have had her looking after my kids and, frankly, helping me raise them! She started working with my 2 week old and my 4 year old and she was amazing w both of them.

Jamie was an Au pair for my family and lived with us for 1 year, it was a wonderful experience.  
She's punctual, reliable, safety conscious, patient, responsible, dependable, mature and very trustworthy. 
She became a part of our family easily. We felt absolutely comfortable leaving our 3 girls with her. The girls loved Jamie and so did I! 
She communicates well when needed and is an excellent worker! Always willing to go an extra mile. Very helpful and loves to help. 
I have twin girls they were 6/7 when Jamie worked for us. And an 11 year old special needs daughter. 

Definitely hire her!

Jamie was an excellent addition to our family. She's compassionate, trustworthy, loyal, transparent, alert with kids, punctual, reliable and reasonable. She's great with kids, my family enjoyed having her around! Our kids absolutely loved that they were always out and about to a park or library when weather was great. Bonus that she loves taking pictures and sending them!
She cared for our newborn boy/girl twins along with their 2 year old sister full time for about 2 years.

Jamie likes to go the extra mile to help out if she can. Great at multitasking. I liked that she's an open and honest person, always made me feel at ease when leaving my children in her care.

I would definitely recommend her to take care of your most prized possessions.
