  • Comfortable with pets

I received a BA in Sociology in 2015. I have had multiple positions as a child caregiver. I worked in a day care part-time for several months working with 1 year olds and 2 year olds. I have been a camp counselor for a couple summers. I was an assistant in a breakfast and after-school program called CFUM, helping them with homework and engaging with them in activities. I was a nanny for the summer of 2013 (and occasional babysitter with them afterwards), for a 3 and 5 year old girl. I was also a summer nanny in the summer of 2011 for a 4 and 5 year old boy. I was an SCL provider for a 13 year old boy with non-verbal autism for the summer of 2014. I have been trained in CPR and First Aid before, but would have to renew my license.
