Nurturing the whole family is more than a job for me; it's a genuine passion. For several years, I've enjoyed providing enriching experiences for children aged newborn to nine. I hold a college degree in psychology with a concentration in children and youth. I am comfortable caring for more than one child at a time. My approach is loving, patient, creative, and friendly. I am also currently pursuing a certification in newborn care and lactation support. I encourage outdoor games, puzzles, and educational activities over screens. I'm also very comfortable enforcing household rules. I prioritize clear communication with parents, adapting to your preferred method for daily updates or addressing any concerns. I am CPR and First Aid certified. Ultimately, my goal is to support your family by providing reliable care that nurtures everyone in the home, in warm loving way.
I am writing to provide my highest recommendation for Amy M, who has been an invaluable part of our family for over two years. I have two daughters, and Amy has been taking care of my younger daughter Noa since she was born. I cannot speak highly enough of her as both a caregiver and person. Amy has a background in early education, which has been incredibly beneficial for our family. Her expertise has helped Noa develop her verbal skills well beyond the standard at her age. This educational foundation really sets Amy apart and shows in the thoughtful way she engages with the children. What I love most about Amy is how kind and patient she is with both my daughters. She pivots quickly when additional support is needed: from playing and coloring, to taking the girls to activities, to making lunch to walking our dog- this has been essential given our busy family life. Amy is reliable and dedicated to the children, and her flexibility in handling whatever comes up has been a huge asset to our family. My 6-year-old daughter also absolutely adores Amy. They play together beautifully, and Amy has babysat for both girls and taken them on day trips during school breaks. She has even taken care of both girls when my partner and I were both traveling for work. We trust Amy implicitly, and both girls were so loved and well cared for during our absence - which speaks volumes about the level of care and attention she provides. Reliability and dedication are among Amy's strongest attributes. Over the past two years, she has consistently demonstrated unwavering commitment to our children's wellbeing and development. Her dependability has allowed our family to maintain our professional responsibilities while having complete confidence in our children's care. Amy is just an overall wonderful person who has become a family friend over these past two years. Her genuine care for our whole family and her warm personality have made her such a joy to have in our lives. I highly recommend Amy for any new position - any family would be lucky to have her.
