• Comfortable with pets

I am currently looking for a summer nanny position, full or PT. I am available through the summer FT, and will have PT availability after the end of August. I am interested in either a summer only position, or a position that will continue PT (max. 35 hours) after the summer. I am a young professional with a BA degree in Psychology, a concentration on the developmental stages of childhood, and a minor in Cognitive Science. After graduating from college during the winter of 2008 I began working as an Account Manager at a local business, however that job was quite unfulfilling for me. I love working with children, it is my passion, so while I decided what to do with my future I spent many wonderful years as a nanny (After much discernment I decided to return to school and will be beginning a graduate program this September). I Read more changed career paths in December of 2009, and I worked with an awesome family in Melrose as a temporary nanny for six months. Since then I have worked with two other families who I also found here on SitterCity. I have worked with twins, infants, children with developmental and psychological conditions, etc. over the years. I have worked with up to five children at a time by myself, and I have worked with up to twelve children at a time with an additional helper. I enjoy cooking, and do not mind helping with preparing nutritious meals. I'm willing to help with light housekeeping, and to run errands. I grew up in Melrose, and currently live in Boston. I'm the oldest of four children, so I am very comfortable working in busy households. I have fifteen years of babysitting experience, and approximately nine years of full-time nanny experience. I love to read, take walks, and learn new things. I also foster animals in my spare time. I consider myself to be an honest, compassionate, fun, good-natured, and hard-working person. I have cared for children from the age of five days old to eighteen years old. There are things that I absolutely love about working with all age groups! Some of my favorite activities to do with the children I sit for (dependant upon age-appropriateness, of course) include; story-time, dress-up/imaginative play, cooking, baking, nature walks, visits to park and libraries, kick-ball, basketball etc. Please feel free to message me with an introduction to your family, and any questions, concerns, etc. Thank you and I look forward to speaking with you!
