Meet Valerie
- Comfortable with pets
- Has a car
I have worked as a nanny and babysitter through high school and college, +8 years of childcare experience. I have the most experience with children 7 to 12, but I have worked consistently with kids ages 3 to 14. I also work part-time as an educator for children 8 to 12, and have worked as an educator and teaching artist for 3 years. Great with kids, fun, engaging, excellent under pressure, and very good at what I do! Message me with any questions. I'm strong at homeschooling. Have been quarantining and interested in working with a family that has also been social distancing.
