I am 28 and have been caring for children almost my entire life. My mother passed away when I was young and I cared for my little sister as well as taking on babysitting since the age of 12. I have worked as an aide in the Minneapolis Public school district for 5 years now in the early childhood special education department. My experience in early childhood is mostly in the birth-3 years old range but I am comfortable around kids of any age. I have a lot of experience working with kids under five as both a caregiver and an educator. My experiences in the classroom have prepared me for finding ways to keep just one or a small group of kids having fun and engaged in learning all at the same time. I am also an experienced full and part time nanny, working full time in the summers Read more with some families, and part time after school also. As a nanny, I work hard to ensure kids stay on track with their regular routines and schedules, and am comfortable driving to their sports and activities or taking them out for fun outings around town.
