My name is Nicola and I am a caring, compassionate, fun, CPR/First Aid certified nanny with more than twenty years’ experience. I can provide solid references who will tell you I am punctual and industrious. My background is in art and I was in the library system for a total of twelve years so I have a vast knowledge of children’s literature. My last nanny position was initially caring for rambunctious baby, then two toddlers, which included meal preparation, sleep schedule, educational circle time, outside play/walks and outings, singing, dancing and just being silly. Coming from a day care, I worked as a preschool teacher where I instructed children in activities designed to promote social, physical, and intellectual growth needed for kindergarten. I was also the lead infant teacher for a about a year which consisted of daily care of ten little ones ages six weeks to one year so multitasking is easy for me! Light housework was also part of my job and I do not mind doing though not in lieu of taking care of your little one. I also do not mind helping with your four legged family members too!
My availability is Monday through Friday full or part time with a pay rate from $18 to $23 per hour for one child.
My name is Maddy Schuchman. I have been a cheerleader for 10 years so you know I will bring the pep! I'm extremely gifted in mathematics and I love to paint and be outside. I have a huge family so I have been babysitting and pet sitting for a long time. I love to run and be active and sit by the pool on a hot summer day! I can cook, bottle feed, change diapers, make plans, have bedtime routines, whatever you ask I can do!
I can travel to surrounding suburbs/towns of Apex for work.
