About Zephyr

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

Hello, I'm an experienced nanny, specializing in infants through til 5, living in Fairfax County and looking for my next family to work with. I've babysat, nannied, and been a daycare caregiver, collectively, for about 15 years now! I always have a very well-stocked personal first aid kit that I'm willing to bring along should it be requested, and I'm first aid trained and CPR certified. I'm comfortable and experienced with all ages, large families, all animals, and I have long-standing experience working with special needs children. During my own time in secondary school and college I was a paid tutored, and I've brought my tutoring skills to my childcare jobs as well, should they be required or requested. I hope to hear from you soon!

Zephyr was a wonderful full-time nanny for our newborn and 2-year old for a full year spanning 2023 and 2024. She was always positive and engaging and obviously cared very much about our children's wellbeing and development. Zephy has a background in early childhood development and makes an effort to integrate her education into the activities she plans for the children. She was proactive and thoughtful in her interactions with the children, not just passively keeping an eye on them. Additionally, Zephyr was able to handle a wide range of responsibilities, including play/entertainment, developmental activities, feeding, nap-time schedules, and keeping the babies and their environment clean and safe. There were no negative or concerning incidents on her watch, and we felt confident in her ability to manage two babies on her own, both in our home and during walks around the neighborhood. (We also would have been comfortable with her taking the babies outside the neighborhood, either on foot or in a vehicle, but that wasn't necessary in our case.) Zephyr helped us with our babies during a period when our work schedules made it impossible for us to manage two babies on our own. We would have liked to keep Zephyr longer but our work schedules changed and made it possible for us to care for the babies without additional support. Having said that, we highly recommend her for anyone looking for a thoughtful, warmhearted, and experienced caregiver.
