I'm Marcia, 56, and after 18 years as a nanny, I've learned that the most rewarding part of my work is becoming someone children love, trust, and remember. I'm a mom of three grown sons and a proud grandma! Before becoming a nanny, I was a kindergarten teacher in Brazil, giving me a strong foundation in early childhood development. I've cared for children of all ages, from newborns through school age, including babies, twins, and nanny-share families. I'm loving, patient, responsible, reliable, energetic, and passionate about helping children feel safe, happy, and supported. I love filling their days with arts and crafts, books, walks, playground adventures, outdoor exploration, and plenty of silly moments. There's usually singing too. But I'm a bad singer! I've built lasting relationships with families, including two I stayed with for seven years. We're still part of each other's lives today. I'm looking for a long-term family and I'll care for your children with love and dedication.
We felt incredibly lucky when Marcia joined our family. She was our nanny for almost two years, caring for our 2.5 year old and 6 month old. She came into our house with a huge smile, always singing songs and ready to give the kids big hugs. Her energy and love for our kids was immediately apparent. She is very responsible and reliable, and always made sure our kids were well taken care of. She loved taking them to the playground and meeting other kids and nannies - I felt like she always had a new friend to tell me about. Our oldest is a passionate artist thanks to the crafts and fun projects that Marcia would do with her every day. Marcia is truly talented with using cardboard boxes and transforming them into art projects for the kids (farms! spaceships! fish!). Our house was bursting at the seams with love and creativity and happiness during the time Marcia was with us. We now have a third child and Marcia babysits on weekends - she can easily handle all three of our very (!) energetic kids and we are so incredibly thankful for everything she does for us and them. I strongly recommend Marcia to any family looking for a long term nanny - she is truly special.
