The Temporary Nanny
Your Solution to the Child Care Puzzle!
 I
have been assisting Moms and Dads, as The
Temporary Nanny, since 1988. My experience varies widely and goes back to my
teenage years when I was the neighborhood babysitter. I have often wondered
how many babies I have cradled in my arms since then.
After college, while
working in the field of Physical Therapy, I would keep my sisters’ children
for the weekend so they could have some time away with their husbands. As my
nieces and nephew grew older, I began to do the same thing for friends.
Often, it was a family with two or three kids under ten. Eventually it
became clear to me I wanted to do this full time. For the past 15 years, I have been providing temporary and emergency childcare in and
around my hometown and across the U.S. It might be with a single infant,
toddler or school age child; maybe a family of five, infant to teen; or
newborn triplets; I might stay a weekend or for a three-week vacation; or 8
weeks so you can get some sleep. You name it and I have probably done it.
My passion has always been
infants and toddlers, so gradually I began to concentrate on the field of
Newborn Care Specialist.
First, it was a set of twins at night for three months, then another set of
twins at night for six weeks. I became totally hooked after 13 weeks of
around the clock care for a third set of twins.
 Sometime
in 2001 while trying to juggle multiple requests for the same time span, I
discovered, via the internet, other nannies that also specialized in short
term assignments. Thinking about ways we could help each other and
the parents who needed our services, a common web site seemed to be the
answer. Once Kim, Janinne and I, connected and realized the potential we
had, we knew the time was right, and Nannies ASAP was born.
We have all come from
different beginnings and traveled diverse paths to arrive at this point in
our careers, with a love of children and the desire, knowledge and skills to
provide excellent care for your children. Give us the opportunity to be your
Nannies ASAP and you will not be disappointed.
As I said before, I
especially enjoy caring for newborn twins and triplets. The first few weeks
of motherhood are very busy and with multiples it can be overwhelming. My
goal is to ease the new mother’s stress by providing skilled, comprehensive
care for her babies and sharing my expertise in all areas of baby care to
support and educate both her and the dad and make this time enjoyable and
rewarding.

I had the honor of being a part of the
Baby Dream Team of
nannies who helped the
Masche sextuplets in the
summer/fall of 2007.
Newborn Care Specialist Services
24/7 or nighttime care
I can stay as little as two weeks or as long as 2 months and cover a 10 hour
shift or around the clock 24/7 with breaks. The choice is yours. I offer
complete care for your newborn plus all related tasks along with support and
assistance for you, the new mother, as you recover. For round the clock care
I nurture both baby and mother and handle all the daily baby related tasks.
I will establish a good feed/wake time/sleep routine, by modeling all the
tips and techniques I have learned over the years. This is best accomplished
by starting from the day mom and baby come home from the hospital. All the
while, I encourage mom and dad in your new role as parents.
Nursery organization
I will assist you in determining baby's furniture needs and its
placement, as well as the must have, might want and not necessary items from
layette and equipment to burp clothes and bottles.
