I was a professional nanny for 8 years and I have an 18 month old daughter. I recently switched fields and now I work as a Registered Behavior Technician for children with autism. The ages I have worked with are newborn to 10 years old. I have extensive newborn experience. I was a full time nanny for the same family for 5 years. I was a mother's helpers on weeknights for about 10 months and still babysit for that family occasionally, 5 years later. I have done date night sitting for dozens of families. I have worked at a home daycare and the nursery at a church. I have a Child Day Care career certificate. I love doing arts and crafts with the children, as well as being outdoors and going swimming. I also do light housekeeping, laundry, errands and meal prep if needed. I can also do house organizational Read more projects and planning. I consider myself to be highly skilled at helping children get on a schedule and am very in-tune to behavioral needs. Children are my passion and I hope to continue to work in this field for the foreseeable future. Certifications: -CPR/First Aid -Child Day Care certificate -Experience with all age groups-newborn and up -Experience with multiples -Extensive newborn experience
