I am an OBX local and I have decided to spend the summer enjoying the beautiful place we call home with my son! I have extensive experience working with children in many different capacities. I started working as a full time nanny when I was a teenager and have spent 8 years working in mental health/social work, where I’ve run summer programs for kids living in shelters, tutored students from elementary school to undergrad, and more. Most recently, I ran a day treatment program for students (age 11-17) with mental health and/or substance abuse issues. I have my certification for adult and pediatric CPR/AED/BLS and will be taking my state and national exams for my EMT-B certification in the very near future. I am hoping to find a family who doesn’t mind me bringing my 7 year old son with me. He is helpful and well-behaved and he is very Read more aware of the fact that different homes have different rules that we must respect. If you’re here on vacation, I can engage you children in learning about the history and unique environment on the OBX!
