Need a good date night babysitter? I am a certified child life specialist with my Master's in Child Life and certification from LiddleKidz Foundation in Pediatric Massage. Child life specialists work to provide comfort, education, and coping skills to children by utilizing play to minimize the trauma and stress associated with illness, injury, or hospitalizations of themselves or a loved one. I also have an undergraduate degree in child development and 30 years of experience with children of all ages, from nanny/babysitting, one-to-one aide for a child with special needs, and a summer camp counselor/director. I am available for date nights, overnights, and weekend care. If you are looking for someone who will engage your child in structured activities and not just "watch" your child, then I am the sitter for you.
