Hello! My name is Savannah, and I am a sophomore at Columbia University studying Comparative Literature and Creative Writing. I have been babysitting and nannying for seven years now. I have worked with children of all ages as a caregiver, educator, and language tutor. This summer I worked with a family of three young and rambunctious elementary schoolers. We spent time doing arts and crafts, playing outside, and working on homework. Last year, I spent 3 months living with an American family in Ecuador, acting as a full-time nanny and tutor for their three young children. This job involved language immersion, as they needed to practice their English and Spanish grammar. In terms of relevant experience, I have also worked as a camp counselor at Lutheran Church of the Cross (St. Pete, FL) and as a volunteer at a homework help center called 826DC (Washington DC). Both of these jobs Read more involved interacting with large groups of young students. Thanks to these experiences, I have learned a lot about different approaches to babysitting. Whenever possible, I put an emphasis on creativity, learning, and laughing. Drawing, telling stories and riddles, and hosting playwriting workshops are some of my go-to ways to keep kids engaged and off electronic devices. I am open to working with clients as a babysitter for children of any age and any level of rambunctiousness. I'd also love to pet-sit, if necessary.
