Hi there, my name is Bonnie. I have many years experience in childcare with plenty of references. I love children, yoga, art, travel, minimalism, and being conscious of the impact I leave on the world. I also enjoy nature, playing guitar, singing, meditation, animals, (I am Vegan so I choose not to handle or give the children any animal products, such as things with dairy, eggs or meat in them etc. This is a firm boundary of mine. I also don't sit down to the table with people eating animal products as it makes me sad/uncomfortable.) If you are comfortable with this, please feel free to read on……..

In addition to nannying, I have also been an executive assistant, house organizer, and trained doula, which is a support coach for women going through labor. I also am a certified yoga teacher and pro choice regarding the vaccine. I have chosen not to get the vaccine at this time so if this is a requirement, I would not be the right fit. I try to be mindful and upfront about this, to respect everyone’s boundaries.

I would really love a position with a family who’d like to integrate mindful childcare practices such as yoga, meditation, and child led play, but not a must. I think how we learn to carry our emotions into adulthood is made much easier when you have the emotional tools from a young age, making for calmer more resilliant behavior's. I do enjoy playing, and am told often by children how, "funny" I am, lol.

Ideally, I’m looking for a family who I could potentially stay long term with for a year or more. I have experience with multiples in every age group from infancy to 12 years old, as well as special needs, overnight care, and driving outings. I'm from the States, have a clean driving record, have *fantastic* references and my rate is generally $25-$35 based on experience. Generally I charge about $250 for 15 hours a week, $500 for 30 hours a week etc. which is on top of food, rent, and car use being provided. My last host family is happy to chat with you.
At this time, I would prefer a part time position as I will have a full time remote position soon as well that I will be able to work around your schedule.

I would love to know more about your family when you message me and what you are looking for in a nanny, if a car is provided for personal use, if food is included, the salary etc.
Note: *I can only accept job offers that provide completely separate living quarters.* By this, I mean a separate living/kitchen/bathroom/bedroom and entrance such as a sleep-out, cabin or studio apartment located near your house or within walking distance. I like to separate my work life from my private life and in my years of aupairing, I have found this to be the best arrangement in favor of everyone.

Regarding Personal assistance and or house keeping/pet sitting positions…I’m happy to negotiate the terms.

Let me know if you're interested in chatting more and if you would like to connect, please reach out. ( I do not have a paid subscription on this site.. so the only way for me to respond is if you message me first.) If I have favorited you, it means I would love to speak further.

Best of luck! And maybe I’ll see you soon :)
