Hello! I am a very friendly and creative nanny with 20 years of experience caring for children of all ages. I hold a BA in Childhood/Special Education, and am CPR/First Aid Certified. I love spending my time with children: playing games, creating art projects, reading & HW help, outings & adventures etc. and am comfortable with bedtime routines when applicable. I am currently the Assistant Director for an Out-of-School Time program in CT, as well as a part time nanny! Prior to this I spent nearly a decade at a local community center where I worked with babies through teenagers in various roles, such as running summer camps and toddler and school-age programming. I also started a Jr. Campers Program (for toddlers) at a camp in CT! While I facilitated all aspects of care and education, I focused on literacy and social-emotional development. I served in AmeriCorps for 2 years post college, and have even cared for and taught English to children abroad!

I’ve been caring for infants and toddlers since I was 13 years old, and now I’m 19 and I have a lot of experience with children of all ages especially because I come from a family filled with little ones! In addition to babysitting for family, I also have references from families I’ve worked with outside of my own. I’m currently working for a wonderful family with 6 children on Mondays, but I’m looking to take on more work during the rest of the week. Feel free to reach out if interested. I also have my own car
