Hi, I'm Joy! I'm thrilled to find new families to connect with! I am currently available for date night sitting or temp childcare M/Th/weekends. I'm flexible, easygoing, fun, friendly, and sincerely interested in the privilege and responsibility of nurturing kids. I've been a professional nanny since 2015 and a lower elementary teacher (ACSI certified) between 2022 and 2026. I've cared for kids from 5 months to 12 years old, and especially love babies and toddlers. With an intuitive educator's perspective, I encourage real-life, engaging activities and adventures to intentionally develop children's physical, social, and emotional health. I'm willing to help with basic homework and make sure we all tidy as we go. I have an active, valid license, and am willing to drive your kids in your vehicle (not mine). I don't smoke-never have, never will.
Joy is trustworthy, punctual, creative, and an overall outstanding caregiver. She was a nanny for our two children over the summer, and we all loved having her! Her teaching background was very apparent as their days were structured and fun, and our oldest even got a great head start on his word study and recognition before entering kindergarten. We can’t recommend Joy highly enough!
