About Joan

Experience: 10 yrs

I am a retired Pediatric Occupational Therapist with 30+ years experience treating children and have always been a natural-born caregiver. I dedicated my life to treating our special needs children and thier families. My career as a Pediatric OT has provided me with in-depth knowledge to guide and enhance your child's ongoing developmental stages with love, laughter and age appropriate play. I give children complete, undivided attention while protecting, playing and teaching them. I can promise they will never be bored! I have extensive experience with newborns, infants, toddlers and twins. I am happy to provide excellent references from the families I have nannied for over the past 10 years.

Joanie was responsible and very trustworthy. She worked with my family from when my baby was a few months old to 18 months old. She made things easier for me by washing bottles, doing laundry and organizing things. She was great with playing with my baby and my baby loved her. She was a great nanny overall.
