This is the background check we require for all caregivers.
Experience: 10 yrs
I have been a nanny for over 10 years, caring for infants up through age 14. I was a group co-op provider for 4 infants (with a parent assistant). I have also coached soccer for 3 years for 10 to 14-year-olds. I taught stilt walking to children for two seasons. I have taught swimming to all ages from infants through adults. As a nanny, I have cooked excellent meals, played fun and educational games, both board games and more imaginary type games, gone on excursions ranging from canoeing to museums to concerts, and in general just had a great time. I have also found creative solutions to serious problems, including helping resolve a serious eating disorder in a child, through growing a garden together and cooking together what we grew. I just relocated from Boston to NY and thus left my position as a French speaking nanny to 3-year-old twins who I adore.

It is with pleasure that I recommend Lynne for any role that involves her in the care and aide of others. Lynne worked as an aide and companion to my mother while in the middle stages of Alzheimer's. Lynne's creativity, patience, and flexibility, enabled her to enter my mother's life and engage her in meaningful, joyful activity and companionship. Lynne understands the need to be prepared with plans, but flexible to change course as necessary. Lynne became a true partner to my father and I in my mom's care. I greatly appreciate her genuine interest in my parents and her ability to enter her environment with great positivism. Sandra L.
