My Summary

My Experience

I have been working in childcare for many years now, as a full-time nanny (live-in and live-out), a babysitter, a children's program coordinator at a library, and a summer camp admin. My daytime job also involved me working with kids, grades K through 12 in an independent school. I have extensive experience with all ages, and have been with many of the families I work for for over 9 years; I have been the nanny and babysitter to many kids from the time they were babies and toddlers and remain a part of their family when the kids grow up. I really value what I do and I am confident that is reflected in my work. My most recent roles include being a nanny for 6 month old twins and a part time live-in nanny for three children ages 7, 9, and 10. I babysit for several other families, with children ranging in age from 1 to 14 years, and do frequent long term shifts while parents go on vacation. I am accustomed to becoming an integral part of the families I work for, fostering long lasting connections with the kids and parents alike; I treat my childcare work as more than just a job and value the experiences and relationships I have gained over the years. I always seek to find the balance of being a true friend to the kids I work with, and maintain those connections as they grow up, while also being a firm adult figure in their lives that they trust and respect.

I am a very creative person, and love bringing crafts and activities to work. We play games like scavenger hunts, home-made jeopardy, do science experiments, bake, paint canvases, decorate jewelry boxes, as well as the tried and true things like hide and go seek, board games, running around outside, and much more. You can rely on me to be patient, consistent, reliable, punctual, and communicative.
