Meet Zoe

  • Comfortable with pets
  • Has a car

Hi! My name is Zoe and I'm an experienced sitter that has a natural ability at working with kids. I have been working with kids for many years; as a child myself I spent countless hours with my mom at her pediatric physical, occupational, and speech therapy center, which gave me a comfortability at connecting with kids across a range of identities from an early age. I put those skills into practice as a respite worker when I helped care for a 5-year old boy with cerebral palsy. I have a diverse set of experiences working in education that make me unique. This past year, I worked as a paraprofessional in a high school and predominantly worked with students struggling in their classes. In this challenging experience, I learned how to motivate and support students who felt defeated and would often act out. Additionally, I have volunteered in classrooms ranging Read more from 3rd grade to 8th grade in subjects such as social studies, science, and math. I have a passion for art and creativity that I love utilizing as a nanny. I have taught art classes at a local art center for campers ranging in ages 3 up to 14 for 5 summers, working with materials such as clay, drawing/painting, metalsmithing, photography, and general crafting. This job has given me ample ideas for fun projects to do as a sitter. I also am starting my second year working as an assistant director for a high school dance company. Across all these experiences, I've learned to celebrate what makes each child unique. I've gained skills that have prepared me to handle challenging situations and make nannying a fun experience for both myself and the child(ren) I am taking care of. I have nannied children of all ages and for families big and small. I hope I get the opportunity to work with your family!
