Hi, I'm Vanessa! I am a professional childcare specialist with 6+ years of dedicated experience, including 3+ years as a preschool teacher in early education and 3 years as a private nanny. My background allows me to combine the structure of a classroom with the nurturing, one-on-one attention of a home environment.

I specialize in supporting developmental milestones and creating engaging, Montessori-inspired activities that keep children secure and thriving. I am highly experienced in newborn care including specialized feeding routines and safe sleep practices. As a Navy Veteran, I pride myself on being exceptionally reliable, organized, and calm under pressure. I am CPR/First Aid certified and committed to providing a safe, high-quality environment for every family I serve.

Great with my son who learns a bit differently. She does fun crafts and activities and he has a great time. 

Vanessa is incredible! She was the very first person I ever hired to watch my son, which is a huge step for any parent. She is a true professional and put me at ease immediately. My son bonded with her right away, which gave me the peace of mind I needed to actually relax and enjoy a date night out of the house. I highly recommend her to any family looking for a reliable, caring sitter!

Highly recommend. Good Professional. She was great with our 1 yr old. Easy to talk to and work with. 

Vanessa has been a remarkable addition to our family, providing exceptional care for my children. She plans crafts and educational activities. Trusting someone new was nerve wrecking as we never hired a sitter before, but Vanessa quickly put our fears to rest and cared for our kids with such ease. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Vanessa was beyond amazing! I was in need and at short notice she was available. I was blessed to come across a nanny this caring. My kids really enjoyed spending time with her and our family will always request her service!  Top tier caregiver would highly recommend. Thanks again Vanessa for being amazing!

Vanessa is wonderful! She did a fantastic job watching my son.  He is very excited to see her again.  She will always be the first person I call to watch my son. 

She’s patient and engages with our kids. Understanding and listens. Is available on demand. 

My kiddos adore Vanessa! They have such a blast with her and look forward to seeing her every time. She is an excellent communicator and true childcare professional. It is a huge relief to know my children are in safe, capable hands when Vanessa is on the job. 

We cannot say enough wonderful things about our nanny, Vanessa! From day one, she has been an absolute blessing to our family. She cares for our children with so much love, patience, and attentiveness — it’s clear that this is more than just a job to her.

Vanessa is reliable, trustworthy, and always goes above and beyond to make sure our kids are happy, safe, and thriving. She has a natural ability to connect with children of all ages, keeping them engaged through creative play, learning activities, and outdoor time. Our little ones light up every time she walks through the door!

She also communicates clearly, handles every situation with calm professionalism, and brings a positive, nurturing energy into our home. Simply put, we couldn’t have asked for a better nanny.

If you’re considering hiring Vanessa — do it! She will quickly become an irreplaceable part of your family, just as she has ours.

Vanessa is a fantastic babysitter! She cared for our three children and kept them entertained the entire time. They had such a great time that our baby girl didn’t even want her to leave. We truly appreciate having her as our sitter and highly recommend her.

My kids (3, 5) absolutely LOVE Vanessa. They were not sad at all, had a great time, in fact, plus they did crafts. We came home to some super cute cards. Even a little dashed line for the little one, who does not write well, to trace it out. Definitely on my speed dial!

She was my daughter’s teacher and also a co-teacher of mine. She is such a sweet, kind and caring teacher that will give your child so much care and gives the best hugs 

She loves her work and cares about the children even outside of the work environment 

Vanessa has cared for my children for the past year. She is knowledgeable, experienced and brings lots of joy and fun! 

We’ve known Vanessa for over 2 years now, and she’s been so great with our little one. Our LO always talks about her, says she wants “Ms Nessa” to come over, and pretends to call her and talk to her. It’s clear our little one is super bonded to Vanessa and it makes us so happy. 

We love Miss Nessa. She's such a fun-loving sitter who has been sitting for our son for years ever since she was his preK teacher. He loves her!  

Vanessa is an excellent sitter, and was a teacher at my 3 years olds class prior to evening sitting. She is reliable, and my son loves to spend time with her. She texts and sends pictures to throughout the evening. I would highly recommend Vanessa for your little ones!

Vanessa is a super nice and reliable babysitter. She is so sweet with our kids and they are always excited to see her. She is also a great communicator. Would definitely highly recommend her.
