Nanny Shelley

I could care for your children and do a great job, but here is what I think is the most important thing besides love - communication!

After employment commences, the you should spend time getting to know the me, drop in occasionally during my hours, hold regular scheduled meetings with me. The care of children in a home setting is a serious career and I see it as a profession.

Many families are choosing the convenience of one-on-one care that hiring a nanny provides.

What am I?

A nanny is a child care specialist. A nanny's workplace is in a family's private home and her job is providing one-on-one attention and the best possible care for your children. The work may be full-time or part-time, and the nanny may or may not live with the family. The nanny's role is to provide support to the family by serving as a loving, nurturing and trustworthy companion to the children. I have special child care skills and a deep love and understanding of children. I offer the family convenient, high quality care to meet each child's physical, emotional, social and intellectual needs.

What do I do?

A nanny is responsible for the complete care of their employer's children. Duties include tending to each child's basic physical needs, meal planning and preparation, laundry and clothing care, organization of play activities and outings, providing behavioral guidelines and disciplining when appropriate, intellectual stimulation, language activities and provide transportation when required. Housekeeping responsibilities are primarily child related. I communicate well with both children and parents.

What are the basic standards?

• A nanny must be at least 18 years of age.
• A nanny must have completed high school or the equivalent.
• A nanny must be in good general health, with proof of immunizations and, where required, negative TB test and/or chest x-ray.
  

I have a genuine love and respect for children. I hope to find a family to work for that is respectful and supportive.I consider myself a childcare professional. I am a young, single person with daycare experience and nanny experience. I am active, energetic and open to sharing life with families different from my own.

I seek permantent assignments or temporary assignments and emergency care situations because I want to specialize and I like the freedom and diversity of caring for many children.
