Hello Family, My name is Irina. I am a professional nanny with over 25 years of experience. I have an early childhood education college degree from Ukraine. I worked as a preschool teacher at kindergarten. I am a mom of two grown up kids and I have one grandson. I am a calm and loving caregiver, who always places children’s needs first. I am also quite tidy and clean by nature and I also like to encourage children to practice cleanliness and teach them good manners and helpful habits. I love interacting with children and making sure they get the positive attention they need. I fully support no screen time environment and believe that it is important to encourage children to play. My personal hobbies are yoga, hiking, reading, classical music, and traveling. My knowledge of yoga, healthy food and nutritional supplements are added skills which I’d love to share. I have experience in making homemade baby food and will be happy to prepare nutritious lunches for your children and do some light housekeeping. I believe I have a lot to offer to your family particularly my experience with games, arts and crafts, and sport activities. I hope I have answered a lot of your questions. I am ready to meet you in order to provide more information about my background if you wish. I am looking forward to meeting you and your children. Warmly, Irina
