I have worked as a private nanny and sitter and in the field of education for 13 years, ever since my own son was born. I have extensive experience with children of all ages and abilities from new-born to teens, as well as with twins and twin infants. I have also worked as a camp arts and crafts teacher, Literacy and Arts and Crafts instructor for an after-school program, as a teacher's aide in a DayCare, and as a substitute teacher for the West Hartford and Avon public school sytem. I have a safe and reliable car, a Subaru, so it's good in winter. I'm a big fan of the outdoors and like sports. I love getting kids outside for some fresh air. I like creating order out of chaos, so I have very good housekeeping skills. I try to stick with the routine of the parents and I am Read more also good at helping establish one if necessary. I was fortunate enough to have been able to return to Trinity College to receive my B.A with honors in English when I was in my thirties and am a strong believer that education should be a part of every child's day regardless of what stage of development they are in, so I talk to them a lot, I read a lot, I demonstrate a lot and give a lot of praise. I'm hoping to find the right fit for a long-term commitment, or as long as I'm needed. The one negative experience I've ever had with a family, resulting in a negative review being posted, occurred when a situation finally arose where I felt my only choice was to leave my job that day, and walk away from a situation I felt was intolerable and unhealthy for both myself and the child I was caring for because I could no longer respect the parents' decisions regarding his care.
