Hello, I am a mother to four grown children that I homeschooled. So I have lots of practice teaching! I love to read books, play games and do fun activities outside with children. I think most of all being a mom makes me the perfect person for a nanny position. I am caring, loving and very patient. I enjoy cooking and cleaning. I have been a homemaker while also managing my cleaning business for the past 15 years. But, while raising my own family, I babysat often. I have cared for infants all the way up to school age. I currently nanny for 2 wonderful families & have excellent references! I would love to find a family that has similar Christian values and traditions as I do, so I can help instill love and faith into their loved ones. I want to be a blessing to you. When I'm not busy caring for your family or mine, you'll find me curled up reading a classic like Jane Eyre, baking lots of sourdough goodies or grabbing a cup of coffee at a local café.
Joy is the best nanny we have ever had! She is incredibly trustworthy, reliable, and considerate, and she showed my three daughters (1, 3, and 5) so much intentionality and care. They were always so excited to see her coming and sad to watch her leave. Joy has a truly precious and caring personality, and she simultaneously made my daughters feel seen and understood while also handling sibling conflicts and toddler tantrums gracefully and gently. Sometimes our house feels like a circus with three spirited little girls, and I was comforted knowing that Joy could handle our chaos and bring a sense of calm into our home. My family is moving out of state, but we are very grateful for the influence she has had on our lives! We wish we could pack her up and bring her with us, but we know that she will go on to love on your kiddos in the same way she loved on ours.
