I have lots of experience caring for children and it's a job I truly enjoy. For several years I've been babysitting and nannying and during that time I've had the opportunity to care for children of all ages. I'm certified in infant/child CPR. I, also, have lots of experience with special needs children (particularly, autistic children) as I have worked as a live in educational assistant for two special needs children. When I'm not doing care work, I moonlight as a university student-- currently, I am finishing up my second year at Hampshire College in Massachusetts. I am returning to Orono for the summer, however, and am trying to establish a network of people for which I provide childcare for regularly. I have a very flexible schedule and am available short notice. I will be available full time starting at the end of April, but I will be available for Read more interviews before that time!
