I started baby sitting at age 13, giving me 19 years of babysitting experience. I graduated college in 2012 with a Bachelor's Degrees in Creative Writing and Linguistics. I have been a private swim instructor, a lead teacher in daycare setting, a religious educator with the Unitarian Universalist Church, and a substitute teacher. I am currently a Youth Program Coordinator with a UU Church in Bethesda. I am looking for before school, after school, date night, or one/two days a week full-day. With my current job, I am not available Tuesdays or Sundays. I have a new(ish) car and clean driving record. I love going outside to play and having just moved here, I would love to check out the zoo and local parks. Of course, I would never go anywhere without first getting parental permission. I am comfortable enforcing house rules and saying no but I also want to Read more ensure that the children are happy and having fun. So I always try to find something that they like to do. I have worked with neurotypical children and children with a variety of special and behavioral needs. With all my accumulated experience, I am confident in my childcare abilities. I am liberal and open-minded.
