Vanessa
As a non‑smoking homeowner and empty nester, I bring more than 25 years of hands‑on childcare and household experience shaped by raising three ADHD‑diagnosed children. My background includes caring for an infant with seizures, administering medications with precision, attending doctor visits, and providing calm, attentive post‑operative support. I’ve guided children through every part of daily life—structured routines, home‑cooked meals, creative play, academic support, safety awareness, scouts, sports, and travel. I bring a calm, steady presence, sound judgment, and a practiced instinct for anticipating what children and households need. With a reliable newer‑model vehicle and a long history of managing busy households with confidence and grace, I serve families across Manatee and Sarasota counties who value maturity, reliability, and compassionate care. Families seeking a trustworthy, medically aware, and highly capable caregiver consistently find my approach to be an ideal fit.

Nadine
Right after High School, I attended a Community College and major in Nursery Education. Earned enough credits to transfer to City College in Manhattan NY and major in Early Childhood Education. I work in a Day Care Center for twenty years. After the City life I moved to North Carolina and worked in a hospital, attending the children whose parents worked for the hospital. My experiences working with children has always been something I wanted to do at the age of five. After growing up in a Children’s Home, I knew I wanted to dedicate my services to children, as someone did for me. I have babysat for 7-12 months as a teenager, but focused in on two’s to six year olds. Enjoy doing Pre-K -Kindergarteners and after school programs. Younger children are my specialties and retail helped me get by when not working with children. I am retired now, but miss the activities and hearing children’s voices, reading and singing with them. I never had the pleasure of working with children in a church setting, but what a wonderful and blessed way to truly end not only my career but a lifetime dream of working in different settings with the most precious gift of all,CHILDREN.

Grace
I have 5 years of experience working in childcare and genuinely love creating fun, safe, and positive environments for kids. While I worked to earn my teaching license, I was a camp counselor for 4 summers, as well as in after-school daycare programs during the school year. I also spent 8 months nannying a child with special needs during the pandemic, which gave me valuable foundational childcare experience. I love having fun and am pretty go with the flow when it comes to what your kids enjoy doing. I understand how difficult it can be to find someone you trust to take care of your children, but I can confidently say that I’m an honest, dependable, and genuine caregiver. I want parents to feel comfortable with me in their homes, and their children to be excited to have me around.
