Hi! I am a part-time graduate student working as a nanny/babysitter on the side. I have over 10 years of experience working with children in a variety of settings. Please feel free to read through my experiences and let me know if you have any questions. I can provide a recent background check and references upon request. And good luck in your childcare search! Babysitting experience: I have taken care of children ages 2 months to 14 years, up to 4 children at a time. I am comfortable with overnights after getting to know a family first. Nanny experience: I have 2.5 years total experience working as a full time nanny. I spent one year in Chicago splitting my time between two families with complimentary schedules. The first had children ages 1.5 yrs and 4 yrs. The second had children ages 2, 6, and 9. I started nannying in Sacramento Read more with a series of temporary/short-term jobs totalling 6 months of experience. Most of these families had infants or toddlers and were waiting for a spot at a daycare, or I was filling in while their regular nanny went on maternity leave or an extended vacation. Since summer 2024, I have been working for one family with a 5 year old. I am comfortable driving children to and from school or activities, providing tutoring/homework help, and completing housework while nannying. Experience with developmental differences: I consider myself highly qualified to work with children who are neurodivergent, developmentally delayed, or living with specific medical conditions that affect their childcare needs. I studied applied developmental psychology in college. Immediately after graduation, I worked for one year as an Early Interventionist-Infant Specialist with Optima Family Services in Los Angeles. In this role I provided in-home developmental therapy to young children with a variety of medical and behavioral diagnoses. More recently I spent nearly three years as a Clinical Research Coordinator at UC Davis for a study about autism and related developmental conditions in 8-22 year olds. Many of the families that I have babysat/nannied for have also had a neurodivergent child. The 5 year old I've been taking care of this past year has ASD. Additional relevant experience: I worked two summers between colleges semesters as a childcare assistant at a home daycare (ages 1 month to 5 years) and held a college internship at the UCLA Infant Development Program, a mixed ability early education classroom (ages 1 month to 3 years.)
