Greenlake Baby Nanny Needed
👶 Calling All Nannies!👶 
🐴 What are your favorite ages to care for and why?
I love working with all ages, but toddlers would have to be my favorite! It is so fun watching them learn and experience the world. So many new skills are developed at this age and even small things are exciting. Their wonder and joy bring light to my day!
🌟What do you enjoy most about being a nanny?
I love watching the child develop a sense of self and hearing about their newfound interests and the passion they have for learning and experiencing life.
🍭Three words to describe you:
Energetic, creative, and hardworking
🧸 Favorite activities to do with children?
It is so fun coming up with creative play activities! One of my favorites is building obstacle courses because it allows the child to work on problem solving skills while also being active. Sensory activities are another favorite of mine because there are so many to choose from and it’s fun for children of all ages. Lastly, you can never go wrong with singing and dancing to a song!
🏐What do you like best about working for A Nanny For U?

With back-to-school season in full swing, it’s important to keep our little ones (and our nannies!) healthy and happy! Here are some quick and simple tips to help prevent sickness this fall:
🧼 Handwashing:Make sure kids wash their hands often, especially before meals and after playing outside!
🍎 Healthy Snacks:Fuel their bodies with immune-boosting fruits and veggies.
💧 Hydration:Keep those water bottles full to stay hydrated throughout the day!
😴 Rest:A good night’s sleep is key to keeping everyone’s immune system strong.
And a friendly reminder: If your child is feeling under the weather, it’s best to keep them home and avoid exposing their nanny to illness. Let’s all work together to keep everyone healthy this season! 💪
