I grew up in a large family with many children but was an only child. So from a young age I liked being around kids, especially since my mother was a childcare provider. So naturally once I got to high school, I became the resident babysitter, watching my teachers children. Then in college (Columbia University) I was Barnard Babysitter which was the official babysitting agency. I also provided babysitting for my professors and deans. I have been providing childcare for many years and your children will be in safe hands with me. I am fun, but also educational. I believe in children learning new things, and I saw the way my mother taught children and retained many of those skills. I have exceptional patience and can connect with children on all levels. I also have worked in higher education, so education and children in some way is always present in Read more my life.
