I come from a big family and have enjoyed caring for little ones my whole life. I have 14 years of experience in childcare, including two years of full-time nanny share experience. I graduated with my Bachelor's Degree from Hampshire College in 2014, where I undertook coursework in child social development. I I enjoy and am comfortable managing multiple kids' needs and daily routines including cooking healthy meals, helping with homework, and potty training. I pride myself on being a really fun, caring, genuine and sensitive caregiver to kids of all ages, while also a stickler for manners and safety. My philosophy is that having healthy boundaries and predictable routines allow kids to feel safe, know what is expected of them, and therefore let loose and explore! I run a tight ship so that we have plenty of time for fun and play! No joke is too silly, no day Read more too busy to stop and look at flowers, and no feeling too small to share and talk about. I am looking to babysit for a great family or families!
