I am a experienced nanny and babysitter looking for full time work. I love working with children of any age. I am 24 years old born and raised in Newington, CT but currently living in New Britain with my boyfriend. I have a Bachelors Degree in Psychology. I currently work as a medical staffing recruiter, but have come to the realization that I do not want to do it forever. I also want to start my Master Degree soon, and it is very emotionally and mentally draining and very long hours. Before I started my recruiting job, I worked as a special education para and loved it! So I have experience with children who have autism as well. I have a valid drivers license and a reliable car, and am also CPR, EpiPen, First Aid, and Medication Administration Certified.
