About River

Experience: 6 yrs

Experienced Nanny! Fun, Safe, & Adventure-Focused Hello! I'm a 29-year-old California native whi just relocated to costa mesa from Salt Lake City, UT. I'm a former researcher who has returned to nannying. I'm looking for a full-time, long-term role. I will take as many hours as I can take. Adaptability: My most recent role involved a family with two girls (4 and 8) and a family with 4 kids (16mo 5, 5, 10). I have extensive experience helping children navigate challenging school transitions and behavioral hurdles with patience and care. Reliable & Educated: I hold a B. S. in Biotechnology. I've stepped away from the lab to focus on the work of mentorship and childcare while I get my Montessori certification. 6+ years of nanny experience Safety First: professional laboratory researcher means I am exceptionally detail-oriented when it comes to safety and environment. CPR certified and have my own car Can provide references look forward to hearing from you!

We have had the absolute pleasure of working with River for the past 6 months, and she has truly become an invaluable part of our family. From day one, she established an incredible rapport with our children, who absolutely adore her. One of her greatest strengths is her flexibility and adaptability. As our life circumstances and our children’s needs shifted over the last half-year, she seamlessly took on new responsibilities without hesitation and never said 'no' when we needed something extra. She provides a wonderful balance of activities, frequently organizing outdoor adventures and hikes alongside library trips and activities tuned to each child's interests. Beyond keeping our children safe and active, she is deeply conscious of their emotional development. She approaches every situation with empathy and patience. If you are looking for an energetic, nurturing, and proactive caregiver who genuinely cares about the holistic well-being of your children, we cannot recommend River highly enough.
